  Finally, my first solo video! I had known for a while that I wanted to edit a very sentimental Chrno Crusade video; a very strange hope for all of the action, horror, and humor that take place in the excellent show. It wasn't until a few months ago that I found a singer worthy enough to evoke this romantic sentiment: Michael Tolcher. "The Sun Song" is one of my favorites of his, and I was surprised to see how easily I was able to connect his words to each episode in the series. The song's lyrics bring to mind a sense of new beginnings, fresh starts, and sentimental journeys.
  
  I had a different goal in mind when I had first set out to work on this video in November (though it wasn't until recently that I decided to buckle down and see the editing through). My original intent was to have no cheesy/sappy romantic ties; it was just to show Rosette and Chrono's never-ending friendship and eternal support for one another. I soon realized how difficult it would be to show just that, and I ended up incorporating their more affectionate (though still not overly dripping with cheese) moments as well. Never, however, did I wish for it to be anything but a light-hearted, feel-good video (which I only hope I achieved).
  
  I wanted "One More Beginning" to be different from what a typical Chrno Crusade AMV might feel like...something with little to no intense action or flashy effects. I tried to take a step away from the series' amazing battle scenes (and violence for that matter >_>) and to emphasize its underlying warmth (and trust me, it's there ;] ). Overall, I hope the video itself was successful in conveying these thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to read my comments, and I hope you enjoy the video! I'd love to receive feedback on how well (or how poorly) I managed to execute my ideas, so please leave me an opinion and/or a QC. Thanks again!
  
  This video was a finalist in ACen's 2006 AMV Contest. Enjoy!
  
  
  The Sun Song by Michael Tolcher
  One more beginning for as long as it lasts
  A new day for the living all forgiving of the past
  A heavy foot steps to the dark unknown
  This is a mystery
  No security of home
  
  Here comes the sun
  Over my head
  Show me a path and i'll be led
  Walking alone
  I'm not afraid
  I have my wings to fly away
  
  There's been a fever burning holes in your skin
  A million questions
  Let the journey begin
  Want with a reason and you'll understand
  The source is infinite
  So, choose your demand
  
  Here comes the sun
  Over my head
  Show me a path and i'll be led
  Walking alone
  I'm not afraid
  I have my wings to fly away
  
  Send in the messengers
  Let the story be told
  Set free philosophy with the medicines old
  One in a body of a sacred plan
  Part of a vision
  Believe and you can
  
  Here comes the sun
  Over my head
  Show me a path and i'll be led
  Walking alone
  I'm not afraid
  I have my wings to fly away
