Indeed, this was quite impressive, especially for a first amv.
Initially I was most interested in the quality of your video. Typically the most obvious mistakes of new amvs are a striking lack of video quality, myself included, but you have quite the grasp on excellent visuals.
You did play close attention to the beat, but I would of enjoyed it more if you would of shaken it up a bit with various transitions rather than hard cuts throughout. There's absolutely nothing wrong with hard cuts, but the transitions felt very predictable. Maybe a bit of motion here and there would of helped. Sometimes the scenes dragged a bit as well.
I've got to admit that I'm a sucker for internal sync, and your video has some very pleasing inner ones. That was without a doubt my favorite aspect. Sadly, there weren't as many as I would of hoped. Granted this is a personal preference, but I would of loved if you filled your amv with more internal sync. You did very well with scene selection and flow. I also liked the overall pace.
Very neat

Making an amv is comparable to eating a potato chip
I do wish you would make more. If you edit for a living, I believe that making amvs could be very beneficial. I sometimes would discover things through editing amvs that I could apply in my TV Broadcasting class which I wouldn't of previously found just editing regularly.
