In my opinion 30 sec gesture are all about the C S I line of action most of it is basicly the action of the spine and the head.I have my doubt that this is being actually done in 30 sec those look more like 1 min gesture.It an exercise in reduction when doing 30sec gesture not in putting the most information you can on the page in my opinion.A 1 min gesture is more about capturing full gesture: the action of limb the direction and to make the gesture as clear as possible with the remaining second.A 5min gesture is all that was said previously but more information on the 3d nature of the figure a more define contour and how the limb and the body balance to create the gesture.

I hope this was of any use and this my personal opinion so it open for debate.Don't be scared to reduce your gesture to something that more abstract in your 30sec gesture.
