That was a very enjoyable AMV, considering it's your first try.
To begin with, I really liked the intro. The bouncing ball was nicely synced to the music, and the kid in the forest helped with the peaceful atmosphere. Maybe next time you should name your amv.
Once the song got "heavier", the amv scenes completely changed, and it became mostly an action amv, which is actually what suits this song.
As required of an amv of this type, there was some nice syncing to the beats (like at 1:53 and 2:31), though little effects and transitions (which isn't necessary a bad thing).
The chorus was well done, and it reached it's "momentum" with the last "pushing me away".
I'm not sure about this, but did you attempt to lip sync? There was some parts that actually worked well, but others it was a little out of beat. (but it probably wasn't intentional).
The subs were kind of disappointing, on your next amv try to select scenes without subs (although it's not always possible, i know), or maybe try cropping them.
I was expecting a video made in Movie Maker since it was your first, luckily you seem to already handle a more advanced editor, which gives you plenty of room to improve on your next amv. Still, you did a very good job on this Prince of Tennis amv :wink: .
