No.
I think you are confusing illegal and immoral. It is illegal (i.e. copyright infringement) to download anime off the net that you havent bought (licensed or not). It is illegal to make music videos to them.
Fansubs are, arguably, 'less' immoral as they are not for profit and do not (in theory) reduce any sales of an english language product. that doesnt make them in any way less like copyright infringement.
If you want to follow the letter of the law, you can't make music videos for anyone but yourself.
