• Comments: Here's the video I created for the annual Fantasy-Movies AMV contest (last year held in Japan expo - Paris, this year in Japanim Spirit - Lorient). I didn't have much time to create it but I did my best though. I wish i could have started this one before but I couldn't because I had to finish my video for the semi-finals of the FM tournament (where I lost :/ ), and before that, I had exams (which I lost too :/ but that's not the deal...).
  About the video now. It's focused on Mima, the main character, and on her relation with the mad fan which stalks her, in the movie. With this song, I wanted to turn all this stalking and fanatic aspect of him into a deep and admiratic love. You'll figure it out by listening to the lyrics. here they are :
  
  Run
  Running all the time
  Running to the future
  With you right by my side
  
  Me
  I’m the one you chose
  Out of all the people
  You wanted me the most
  I’m so sorry that I’m falling
  Help me up lets keep on running
  Don’t let me fall out of love
  
  Chorus:
  Running, running
  As fast as we can
  I really hope you make it
  (do you think we’ll make it? )
  We’re running
  Keep holding my hand
  It’s so we don’t get separated
  
  Be
  Be the one I need
  Be the one I trust most
  Don’t stop inspiring me
  Sometimes it’s hard to keep on running
  We work so much to keep it going
  Don’t make me want to give up
  
  Repeat chorus
  
  (the future­)
  
  Repeat chorus
  
  The "you" in the lyrics refers in the video to the fan. I wanted to show a kind of paradoxal aspect with this light love song, and the cruel intentions of the fan.
  
  I also tweaked the colours and such, to give a caracteristic mood the video. I wanted it to really fit the song. Fit it as I would represent it visually, which for me was almost blue.
  
  I don't know if I have more to say about it. I will surely have but not for the moment. So just enjoy, understand, be touched, laugh; cry, do whatever you want, but please don't be indifferent :) And if you liked it (or didn't) feel free to leave a comment, it's always much appreciated.
