  • Happy 25th Charmeversary! It’s been a minute (sorry), but I finally got to finish the season 7 credits. Gonna sound like a broken record, but man it’s just getting more and more difficult to keep up with this style and maintain its authenticity in later seasons. Power usage used to be special (attack/protect) and was filmed in such a unique way, as if the magic was somewhat independent from the witch, it was there to assist in desperate moments, and sometimes would even take the witch by surprise. In later seasons, powers are used more loosely, like they’re a mere extension of the witch, the focus became on the characters, not the powers, in those scenes, which is why I felt so lucky season 6 still had a few good power shots that I could use.
    I believe I did not use anything past 7x07, so I did better than last season with that. I thoroughly enjoyed working on the new overhead title shot; finally something with just the three current Charmed Ones! As we all know, Phoebe doesn’t have all her powers this season, and I ended up using the clip of her fighting her evil counterpart for a few reasons: 1- show her fighting skills. 2- Acknowledge her dark side, which she’s struggled with before. 3- Emphasizing her internal conflict (forcing premonitions to find baby daddy, work stress, giving up on love for the 100000th time, etc…)
    Goodbye Nick Correy, you have been replaced by Demon/Avatar face for Phoebe's premonition. I was somewhat referencing the Hecate clip from the s1 opening credits.
    Couldn’t resist adding another Prue reference. This is technically from season 5, so I didn’t really go that far back for it, and the fact that it’s the ONLY shot featuring Paige and Prue (in human form) in frame!!! Side note: You remember in “Cat House” (SPOILER ALERT)… when Paige meets dog Prue, and for some reason Prue doesn’t remember that. We can argue that it wasn’t real time travel, but um… excuse me, wedding cake topper smashed…. Kit was attacked… those affected the present, but not dog Prue meeting a time-traveling Phoebe and her red-headed companion? Just going for a funny moment? No continuity? Alrighty then…. But I digress…
    Unlike seasons 5 and 6, there’s no recent photo of the three sisters together, so instead of wasting time photoshopping a fake one, I thought let’s just keep the same one from last season. Instead, I tried to focus more on the hug right before that. For a show that started with three sisters who happened to be witches, you definitely see less group hugs near the end… mostly just lets-get-this-over-with and cheap-sex-and-the-city-knockoff moments… VERY rarely do you see them truly bounding anymore, mostly just vanquishing demons quickly so that Phoebe can get back to work. Hmm almost like… they are… witches… who happen to be… sisters… Good job, Brad, good job indeed -_-
    Oh, and another fun clip was stitching the three (or six?) parallel sisters facing each other. It's a shame evil Piper was only there for 2 seconds, not even a single line.
    Anyway, in all seriousness, the last two seasons are my least favorite, but I think making an original concept opening like this adds more sentimental value to it, brings it slightly closer to the amazingness that is seasons 1-4.
    Seven down, one to go…

    That's Amazing!!! So great to notice Piper is the first on the opening credit, only fair since she's the Eldest, just like Prue used to be. Phoebe, on the other hand, has nothing to do in the first row, that's why I Love so much your work, THANKS A LOT!!!

    OMG YESS. I've been waiting for season 7 all this time.
    Yet another amazing job! Looking forward for the final season and I can assume that this one is the most difficult to do.

    It feels refreshing to see this after a while and brings a new look into the style! The peculiarities you put into every detail, edgy flashes at the end, choices of clips, everything looks stunning although I would’ve made the end clips a bit more dynamic. Anyway, enjoy the openings so much, keep ‘‘em coming!;)

      Thanks! Yeah I can’t even count how many times and clips I’ve gone through for this one, and there was nothing super iconic within late s6 - early s7, and finding rare shots that have not been used before is nearly impossible now 😅 I’ve a few saved for season 8 🤞

    Go(l)d work like always ! I was thinking to do the same style for every seasons, maybe one day xD I love everything in your opening and I still asking what it will be the second power/action clip of Phoebe you will use due of the fact her power are limited :( (Just readed description and I understand) and the scene is amazing, I can't wait for the season 8 to watch your magical skill 😊

      Eh I like it, I tried a billion combos and there were some good choices but some of them had bad timing or too much going on, so I kept it simple.
      Most of their power scenes become sillier near the end unfortunately
