Alrighty, I'm currently watching Tsubasa, and I absolutely adore it, so videos to it are welcome in my book. Thus, I downloaded yours.
First and foremost, I would suggest that you work on your timing. I felt like I was just watching some DVD promo of a new anime...with subtitles - which brings me to my next point.
Subtitles are bad. I realize that there are a lot of pretty scenes you want to use (I feel the same way), but crop the subs out at the very least. They're distracting to the viewer.
The aspect ratio was off, making the naturally tall character design of CLAMP look even taller. You could also tell by looking at the subtitles. The letters were narrower than they're supposed to be.
Song choice here is iffy. Personally, I think that using an anime with music from that anime is corny. However, if you are, in fact, going for a promo feel, then it can be appropriate. Thus, my iffy thoughts. It all depends on what the focus of the video was - if there was one at all. I love Tsubasa music, myself, but I'm not sure how well it works in a video.
Overall, I didn't find this to be particularly interesting. It's a nice try for an early video, but you have a lot of work to do yet. Like I said, timing is probably the biggest thing. For the non-creative aspects, there are plenty of guides on this site that can help you get the most out of your source footage.
Good luck in your next one.
I hope this helps somewhat. ^_^
