  The Title
  It comes from -of course- the Anime (APPLESEED) and also the name of the chosen song Kurenai which designs a sort of deep red in Japanese.
  
  The Song & the Band
  Kurenai from the Japanese Band X-JAPAN.
  I really love this group, I'm a big fan and if I had to create only one AMV it had to be on an X-Japan's song. I love a lot of their songs which mixed balads and hard-rock : Kurenai is one of my favourites.
  The song has 2 very distinctive parts and then permits to have 2 different parts (a calm one & a speed one) in the clip. Though the song is a little bit long, and it becomes difficult to keep the viewer's attention it permits the clip to have a good (?) storyline. You'll tell me if you understood what I tried to show in the end.
  I also tried to stick the Lyrics in the 1st part in English (just some few moment in the Japanese part).
  
  The Lyrics
  I could not look back,
  you'd gone away from me
  I felt my heart ache
  I was afraid of following you
  When I had looked at
  the shadows on the wall
  I started running into the night
  to find the truth in me
  
  arashi fuku kono machi ga omae wo daku
  fukinukeru kaze ni sae me wo tojiru
  
  omae wa hashiridasu nanika ni owareru you
  ore ga mienai no ka sugu soba ni iru no ni
  
  hitonami ni kiete yuku kioku no toiki
  ai no nai hitori butai mou taekirenai
  All of you in my memory is
  still shining in my heart
  sure chigau kokoro wa afureru namida nure
  
  kurenai ni somatta kono ore wo
  nagusameru yatsu wa mou inai
  
  mou nido to todokanai kono omoi
  tozasareta ai ni mukai
  sakebi tsuzukeru
  omae wa hashiridasu nanika ni owareru you
  ore ga mienai no ka sugu soba ni iru no ni
  
  kurenai ni somatta kono ore wo
  nagusameru yatsu wa mou inai
  
  mou nido to todokanai kono omoi
  tozasareta ai ni mukai
  sakebi tsuzukeru
  
  kurenai ni somatta kono ore wo
  nagusameru yatsu wa mou inai
  
  Crying in deep red
  
  Evolution
  I had a first version (sort of beta version) that you can download here :

  This Beta version was made discovering Adobe Premiere Standard and without knowing and using the different parameters of differents effects. We can also see that I tried a lot of effects just for fun without real meanings.
  
  Participation to the AMV contest -Japan Expo 8 (2007)
  I think I knew it was a little presumtuous of me to participate a contest but I was really proud of my AMV...
  But it was not selected for the final ranking, it just entered the "You have some talent" part.

  Last Note
  Half a year after having created this first AMV, I'm still really proud of it.
  Today I release it here in the.Org in a MP4 version and the only thing I regret is the last 'waving' transition.
  I shouldn't have kept it... I really dislike it and iit would be the first thing I'd change if I had kept my sources and project.
  
  Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I like it... :)
