    And I think its good but I want other people to comment so I can work on things and get better.

    I used alot of clips and there were afew repeated clips along the way.
    (don't point that out. I know)

    I watched it up to 3:03, but got bored.

    The only slightly amusing thing about your video is the song choices (I did chuckle when Shaggy came on). Apart from that....a mediocre attempt. You chose random unrelated clips and spammed the rainbow effect far too much.

    I'd give you a truck-load of advice but I think for you the best thing would be to go out there and watch some tutorials. You should also watch more amv's and see how they are good- dont worry, we all start out with mediocre videos.

    That was fairly done. I'll have to give it a 3/5.

    Criticism:
    Okay, your timing was fairly well planned, however a larger use of "splitting" clips, could have been added, and you should have used more fade outs/ins as well as transitions.
    Your use of special effects and panning wasn't high, so here's what I would recommend in the future:
    When you really want to make a situation in a scene of your video to match with the song, split clips, and add flashes/fade out to whites.
    Here are is a Windows Movie Maker formula I enjoy using.:

    Windows Movie Maker(AMV that has rock music, and you would like to add special effects.)

    Split two areas of a single clip(Ctrl+L) and remove all the un-needed areas.
    Next, you should use a special effect. Preferably Grayscale, Sephia Tone, or That effect where the screen changes colour(I forgot what it is called, since I haven't used WMM in ages.)
    Then, when you have it all together, try and make it all fit by using a simple transition.

    So basically you cut two edges of a clip to make it fit, add a simple, eyecatching effect and make it form together nicely with a simple transition.

    And avoid using the word "Random" if you want to make your video have meaning. Unless you DO want it to be..of course, "random."

    I'm not sure if lip-syncing kind of amv or not. The lip syncing was pretty bad, but I guess you were new to that kind of thing. These kinds of amvs are pretty boring to be honest. Getting old. Seriously, come up with something original.
    "Random" amvs aren't much popular either. Don't use trailers for clips.

    Also, TUTORIALS.

    That is all.
