What Christmas Should Be
Thu, 18 Dec 2008 09:57:21 -0800 by theCombusted

Happy Holidays, everyone!----------- ---------Got inspired while listening to this song on Thanksgiving, and just had to do it. I ripped all the clips I needed before I sold my DVDs, and then worked on the video completely in After Effects 6.0 (never did that before). I focused mainly on the synchronization.Unfo rtunately, the version of After Effects I have is so old, it doesn't export clips with audio, so I ended up having to take it back into iMovie to export it with audio. I created it in 16:9 to get it to fit into the new widescreen format, so hopefully it'll come out nicely.The song is "What Christmas Should Be" by Hilary Duff, edited by yours truly. I hope you like the video (which I'm actually releasing almost a week earlier than I planned- always good), and more importantly, I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season.

C:RR - Season Six Credits
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 10:37:38 -0700 by theCombusted

http://resetreality. proboards104.com/PLE ASE READ:As some of you will notice, these are pretty different (content-wise) from CRR's fourth or even fifth season opening credits. Generally, the longer a fan fiction runs, the more its plot diverse from the original, and this is no exception. With that said, I think I should explain some things to avoid getting tons of questions.- Piper gave up her powers during the S4 finale; thus the reason why she hasn't had any power shots since said season.- A lot of people have been asking about Paige's power, or at least one of them. In this case, the first power shown represents "chronokinesis", which is basically the ability to reverse time. She's had it since early S5.- Rose/Paige is blonde again? Yep, and it wasn't because of a potion. lol- Chelsea Brummet (of 'All That' fame) and Drew Fuller? Melinda and Chris, respectively. They're Piper's baby twins, who have come back from the future. Melinda has the power to freeze, while Chris (like in the show) has telekinesis.- I'm always asked if I write for CRR, and the answer is no. I'm just their designer, which goes about as far as graphics and video, whenever asked.So now you're pretty much all caught up with the show, so be sure to check it out!http://resetreal ity.proboards104.com /----- DESIGNER'S NOTE -----You'll probably notice that nothing has drastically changed. This is basically because of time constraints, and satisfaction with S5.5's opening and closing sequences.This time, I practiced working with masks for the first few times. I still have a lot to learn, but you can see the areas that have been masked (0:24 - dye job, 0:38 - froze the ocean and , 0:44 - obvious).Speaking of the freezing, it was inspired by Adam (p3jojoba)'s work.0:44 is like last time, dedicated to the wonderful Fourever Charmed, aka: Camille (mewit). She's helped me find pretty much all of the clips, and has been there to help me out every step of the way. She's a really great person and on top of that, a really great friend. Thank you, Camille.

Season One Opening Credits
Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:59:06 -0700 by theCombusted

7/20: Man, I am so sorry about the quality of this one. I exported it wrong, and the worst part is is that I just deleted the original files yesterday, so I hope you guys can forgive me for the terrible quality. Not sure if you guys know this, but if you add "&fmt=18" to the end of a video's URL, it'll come up in higher quality, even if there isn't an option. If it doesn't work with the video, then it should at least work with the sound. If you guys want, you can watch it in SLIGHTLY higher quality here:http://www.yout ube.com/watch?v=JFzN FKsqjwo&fmt=18And thanks so much for the comments, guys! I'm working on maybe one or two new videos at the moment, but I'm still trying to keep my focus on ANOM. Thanks again everyone!----------W ell, it's been a while. I actually started this in October of 2007, and never got around to finishing it until last month, when I redid almost all the clips (since my style did change a lot since then).There's nothing really special about these (other than the spinning triquetra), but I'm still pretty satisfied with the final result. I know most of you guys knew about this from my other account, "theCombuster" so it's probably not so much of a surprise.Anyway, I'm sorry for the lack of videos. I've been really busy this summer. :( I do have one more ready to upload, though I'll probably wait a little while to post it. ;) Thanks again everyone, and I hope you like this one! :)

Enchanted - Hot*
Tue, 20 May 2008 03:24:53 -0700 by theCombusted

When Robert (Patrick Dempsey) frustrates Giselle (Amy Adams), she can't find any other way to express herself other than through song. This time, it's Avril Lavigne's "Hot". Well, not really. This is just something I wanted to do, since Enchanted is probably one of my favorite movies, and I had the idea for quite a while.I tried different blurring styles (mainly point of focus), so parts of the video are a little blurry, but not to the point that it's unbearable. I also added color and enhanced the lighting and contrast for most of the clips. Like my last video, I wanted to match the lyrics from the song with the scenes from the video. The song was also edited by yours truly. :)This is fanmade; no copyright infringement intended. Basically, I hope you like it, and I also hope you read this BEFORE leaving a comment. I don't want a million people yelling at me because this isn't the real deleted song. ;)TO MY REGULAR AUDIENCE: I know it's probably not what you were expecting, and for that I apologize. ANOM is actually taking a little while longer than I thought. I just don't really have a whole lot of free time on my hands, and when I do, I like to do smaller projects and finish them faster. I promise you all that it'll be done by the end of the summer at the LATEST. Thanks again, you guys!* please note that the original title claimed that this video was a "deleted song (sorta)", but I have changed it as of 5/29.

Buddha's Delight
Mon, 17 Mar 2008 13:30:20 -0700 by theCombusted

EDIT: 1/3/09 - Earlier today, the company who holds the copyright to "Buddha's Delight" took this video down. I do not wish to purposely rebel against their rights as the copyright holders, but I feel I should make it very clear, this, and all of the videos I make are for entertainment purposes, only. I'm not making any money off of it, it's just for fun. And as I have posted on my profile, "I do not own any of the material that I work with; songs and source material used belong to their respective owners".Just to be clear, the video clips featured are of the television series "Charmed", which is owned by Paramount/Spelling/t he WB, and the music featured is "Buddha's Delight" (featured on the Music and Lyrics soundtrack) which is owned by Haley Bennett/Atlantic Records/Warner Music Group. I hope that they understand that this is for entertainment purposes ONLY.----------A fun video matching the lyrics with scenes from Charmed. Scary how well they fit, huh? lol The song was edited (by me) so that I could save the chorus for last.The final scene is a tribute to Payndz, creater, artist and writer of the Harmed comics. I love his work, so I thought I'd thank him publicly. :)http://img.photobu cket.com/albums/v331 /payndz/harmed71.jpg I actually put this one on hold for almost two months, but since I'm on spring break now, I decided to finally get some work on it. Anyway, I hope you all like it! :)Song: Buddha's DelightArtist: Haley Bennett Thanks again for all the feedback!http://p3pr ophecy.proboards100. com/Started: Oct. 15, 2007 (BOS shot made Aug. 27, 2007)Finished: Mar. 17, 2008

C:RR - Season Five Credits, Vol. 2
Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:37:28 -0800 by theCombusted

http://resetreality. proboards104.com/Sea son four, season five, and now season 5.5. These were made because of the newer episodes, which do not feature Shawn Christian, so as in a real episode, his title shot had to be cut out, and replaced with some newer footage. Camille (Fourever Charmed/mewit) helped me find almost all of the clips, and tried her best to help me out whenever she could, so the special shot near the end of the video is dedicated especially to her. :)The photo frame was originally planned for the fourth season opening credits, but because there wasn't any available time or space, I didn't go through with it. But I did it now, and I'm quite proud of it, actually. :) Be sure to check out Charmed: Reset Reality.Thanks again, Camille!

Sat, 12 Jan 2008 14:33:13 -0800 by theCombusted

A video proving that the writers obviously forgot this line during future episodes. (Don't you just love the irony between the video still, and the title?)This video was actually pretty fun to make, it made me realize how much I miss doing short videos like this.

Prophecy Fulfilled: Goodbye, CTP
Sun, 18 Nov 2007 15:01:25 -0800 by theCombusted

CTP (aka Charmed: the Prophecy) was a message board that had been around as early as 2002; I've called it home since 2004. I think it was quite possibly one of (if not the) greatest Charmed board(s) around. Wonderful staff, awesome members... so I guess it's no surprise that a lot of us are so heartbroken that it closed at the end of this month (November).This is just a small video that I made as a tribute to both Charmed, and CTP; I'm going to disable comments and ratings. If you have something to say, feel free to do so in a message, in my gallery (at CTP), through a PM (at CTP) or at my new forum, "Rebirth of a Prophecy"-http://p3p rophecy.proboards100 .com/The song is called "Crawl" by Thisway, and was used by the WB in 1999 for their Image Campaign, as well as 2006 for the end of the network. This video is made similar to the style that was used for the 2006 one. The song was edited by yours truly.*October 30, 2008 - Rebirth of a Prophecy has closed today.

Ghost Whisperer: Season Three - "Gone (remix)"
Sun, 23 Sep 2007 15:46:23 -0700 by theCombusted

http://youtube.com/u ser/leo201083The song was brilliantly edited and used by Leo201083. He is an outstanding video editor, and I'd just liked to thank him for letting me use his amazing remix of the song "Gone" by Kelly Clarkson.This was made using After Effects 6.0, and iMovie. It was basically a test to see what I could do (effects-wise) I wanted to make it ever since I finished my "Whisper" credits (GW- Charmed style, Angel theme), but I just haven't felt like it. But the shot of the door, and all of the promotional text came straight from the trailer for the season three premiere- and it's gonna be a good one.Catch it on CBS Friday, 7PM on Sept. 28. I hope you like the video! (and be sure to check out Leo201038's videos, as well! :D)Clips from:2x21 - The Prophet2x22 - The Gathering3x01 - The Underneath

The Official Opening Credits for Charmed-Net's Season Ten
Sat, 25 Aug 2007 16:27:52 -0700 by theCombusted

EDIT: 9/1: I won! Thanks to all who voted for me, and additional thanks to all of you who supported me! Here's to an awesome season ten! :DAdam (p3jojoba) was hosting an opening credits competition at Charmed-Net for their season ten, which is coming soon. I waited until the last week, for some reason to start working on it, and that was a huge mistake, mainly because I ran out of time, but still managed to turn it in before the competition ended. :)I got my season eight clips from Charmed Luke because I wanted fresh clips from the latest season, but season eight didn't come out yet in the US. I also used the final shot for "Written By" from Adam's season nine credits, which he stated was acceptable.I really hope you all like mines, and tune in for season ten, only on Charmed-Net! (may the best credits win!)

The Finale Photo Montage - REDONE!
Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:42:00 -0700 by theCombusted

Was anyone else extremely disappointed because not only did Charmed not end with that first and best photo- the "Prue" photo, but instead, showed photos taken while on the set, mainly from the last episode? I know I was.So I've collected countless pictures from throughout the show, and worked on this for weeks, and finally (with the help of James from CTP) I was able to finish the video, in HQ. Thanks, James! :DSome of it came out choppy because iMovie rendered everything wrong, but I hope that doesn't stop you all from fully enjoying what I've made for you all. Thank you for being such loyal fans of my work! :)

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 04:03:52 -0700 by theCombusted

This was made with much help and advice from C:tP's Ocore (an amazing, popular and highly respected artist). He suggested the idea a few months back, and I sorta shrugged it away because I wasn't sure if I could work with a completely new style, but I did, and I hope you like it. Thanks so much, Mr. Ocore!(BTW, this wasn't done with After Effects, but with ImageReady- the application I've been using ever since my first opening credit-video. If anyone bothered to look, it said it all right there. Thus, the reason why I've been deleting unnecessary posts asking what program I use.)

Reset Reality: SEASON FIVE
Wed, 13 Jun 2007 03:30:37 -0700 by theCombusted

I'd really like to thank Fourever Charmed (there)/mewit (here). She helped me more than everyone else by finding all the clips. It was her idea to add in the conjured potion bottle, and she gave me the inspiration to get everything done. The added quadquetra clips I made (in the beginning especially) are dedicated to her. Thank you.The last opening credits for Reset Reality I did was for season four. This one is for their all-new season five. You can read it all over here:http://resetrea lity.proboards104.co mAnyway, these are the opening credits I made for them. I tried to customize everything. From the quadquetra (the triquetra, except with four arches) in the opening sequences, to the title shot, to the Book of Shadows cover [terrible, by the way], and even Kit's collar. Well, I'll let you all be the judge of what's good and what's not. As for their powers... you'll just have to read it. :) Again:http://resetre ality.proboards104.c omThanks for watching! :)

Cousins, a "Pardon My Past" spinoff
Tue, 05 Jun 2007 21:17:04 -0700 by theCombusted

I've gotten numerous messages here and at C:tP, telling me that I should make a special opening with clips of the girls when they were little, or teens, or season nine, or whatever, but recently, I've gotten a lot about this one idea in particular, and I sorta tweaked it a little, and I like it. Hoping you do, too.I added a clip from the [original] episode (possibly to make it look like a season/series finale episode for the fictional spinoff), to make it feel more... real. It's supposed to be more of a teaser, like the roads are split already and they know they're going to have to fight.Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it, and I look forward to sharing with you all my next two summer projects. :) Until then, enjoy! :)

Charmed: Joan of Arcadia Style
Mon, 28 May 2007 22:16:02 -0700 by theCombusted

I call it "Prue of California" because it has that same "ia" sound, and I could add on that fancy thing on the "i". I kinda had the video expand only up to season four for a reason, and that's because (according to fans) that's the highest it gets before it heads downhill.I was also going to use "Prue of Suburbia" but the Halliwells don't exactly live in the suburbs. So... yeah. I also added in a deleted shot, which was taken out because it took too much time, and an extra side note that people don't seem to get.The first two sequences, with the title and the generations of Warren witches took the longest. Over 200 frames total, that I had to individually edit, more than once depending on the number of layers in a shot. The title one had about six layers, and the generation one had about 15. I'm pooped. lolThanks so much for the comments, and I hope this one is pretty good. :)
