A cookie to whoever identifies the song in the AMV. Yes this is my AMV:

Well, the first major flaw comes in the first second of the clip. You use Windows Movie Maker and you make it painfully obvious by using the standard blue and white colours.
No matter what you do, this basically sets the quality if the video.
So, after I saw your opening, I wasn't expecting much and I was right.
Now, before I continue, I noticed you said in the description that you made it quick, out of boredom and thus nothing epic will come from this.
I have seen loads of musicvideos (please stop referring to AMVs, if it is not an AMV, AMV = ANIME Music Video), so I know what I am talking about.
Anyway, I guess it could be used as an opening clip, however, long clips of unedited work comes past, which gives this video a rather bland and boring feel. Personally, I wouldn't like to see it as an opening from a videogame, as it doesn't really feel edited, other than what was already done by the original creator.
Try working a bit more on matching music with the song, cut things out, flash the screen white and most importantly, be original.
There are tons of videos on Youtube, about 70% are simple WMM videos with a total of 5 clips on a 4 minute song. No editing/timing/originality, just a song stuck on a video.
Sorry for slating your video so much, but if you have seen as many of these kind of videos on Youtube as I have, you'll understand why.
However, if you need any tips, or help. Feel free to ask me. I have quite some experience with video editing programs and I'm a member of a group that makes musicvideos all the time.

While I am alittle slighted at that, I can understand what you mean. Thanks for the feedback and criticism. And I'll most definitely talk with you sometime for tips.

While Pesmerga said "I wouldn't like to see it as an opening from a videogame" I feel that this video wasn't much different than what the intro mivies to the games were like. But that said I never particularly liked the intros to the .hack games mucfh other than the music, and it's pretty much the same thing here. When watching scenes from these games I usually prefer hearing the voices and sound effects over music. But they do have some nice music in the opening intros, and I like this song as well.
But while I don't know the name of the song, I'm a big fan of See-Saw since her work for .hack//sign, Xenosaga and most of all for Gundam SEED/Destiny. So this unmistakenly sounds like her work to me. But I could be wrong.
