these are my first 2 ever, shot with a Canon 7D.
thanks

Yea definitely upload it on vimeo, the quality is kinda bad on full screen.. and also I'd suggest a tripod, some shots were shaky, and maybe some sort of stabilization for the moving shots.. if you're on a budget, which I doubt since I saw you offer 10 bucks for advice in another thread, do this: http://littlegreatideas.com/stabilizer/diy/ it seems iffy at first but I use it with my t2i and it's surprising.. not a glidecam, but for 20 bucks, it's worth it.
 
Tripod.

Nice song, good vibe, nice colors.

A lot of those shots didn't do a lot for me. They seemed extraneous to the whole video, or something about them wasn't right and yet you used them anyway. I would get rid of those and shorten up your edit. Remember, you didn't ask us to critique your shots (aka give us a bunch of shots thrown together) you asked us to critique your edit, which should be coherent and efficient.

Some of the shots were slightly out of focus. Formal stabilization (TRIPOD!!!!) will help.

I only watched the first video lawl, but that advice will likely apply to both and if not, well, it should help nonetheless. Good luck.
 
In the second one, it seemed like you were filming a lot of sticks, with something possibly interesting in the background, but you never pulled the focus to the background.
 
I just watched the first one, but camera steadiness was the biggest issue I saw. I also noticed a scene with yellow blocking the left portion too much, kind of took the focus of the shot to it.
