Ok, for a first video, this was ok. There were several problems that many newcomers face. First, subtitles and words (from the opening sequences of Naruto) is not good. The video quality was poor. Remember, DVD quality is the best. The AMV didn't seem to have an overall story. It was just a bunch of random clips put to music. An AMV needs to tell a story, and match the lyrics. Subtitles also need to be removed. Many of your clips were also waaay too long. I personally think any clips over 5-7 seconds is too long. Windows movie maker is also a subpar video editor. I would get a trial version of another editor or get another free one. I know in the video section of this forum they have a long list of video editors that are for free. I would also spring for the Naruto DVD's. Speaking of Naruto, it isn't exactly the world's best anime to use here. At the moment, it is the most overused Anime used in AMV's, and many people here are overly sick of it. Simple and Clean is also a vastly overused song. But, I digress. I'd read Phade's Guide to Making Good Anime Music Videos, along with taking a look at other AMV's here. You'll do fine with time. My first few AMV's (wait..) were also on this same level, if not much worse. I suggest that you put a little time and effort into this, and you will do fine.
For a score, 2/5 or 4/10.
