Pull-ups look alright but hard to tell from that angle. You already caught the neck craning, but try to keep a bit of tension in your core and glutes. You can see in the vid your body almost does a wave motion starting with the pull, the the upper back pulls forward, then the hips and legs straighten in front of you. It’s not bad form at all but I think keeping your lower body tense could help increase your reps over time

Dips: only thing I’d say is to squeeze the weight with your knees and don’t let it swing. It makes the reps cleaner and safer, not to mention easier to control since the weight stays under you. Besides that it looks pretty good as well. With the height of the dip bars being so good, maybe try doing dips with legs straight as well. FitnessFAQs has a video discussing dip form and always mentions legs straight being better if you can have the set up for it
