Simmerville Studio webpage

(Year 233, Spring) Time has come to release Simmerville Studio's new webpage! You will see that it was built on the same formula as Plumbob Picture's webpage, but there are still some unique content. Also, while Plumbob Pictures produce for the silver screen, Simmerville Studio focuses on TV productions, which are both drama series, documentary, talkshows, news and more. And, perhaps the most interesting difference: Most of Simmerville Studio's productions can be streamed anytime you like!

Simmerville Studio is well established in Gloomville.

It was fun building their catalog for the new webpage, because the new system is scripted to integrate their productions with the talent agencies, the actors and others who contributed.

Mazaloom NEWS - Year 231

Year 231 has closed, and Mazaloom NEWS is here with highlights (and some less lighted) news from Mazaloom kingdom and beyond.

Five minutes video with news, job openings and family notes, hosted by Simmerville Studio's news anchor, Paulo Caliente.

Region 12 NEWS Special - Year 230 Election

(Year 230, Election Day) 1st day of Spring is the big day in Mazaloom kingdom! Hood Contacts are found through election for hoods where minimum one active political party has a candidate. Even hoods with just one candidate will need the voting, because there is still the alternative of administratively assigned Hood Contact if the one political candidate on offer is not approved by local vote.

While Hood Contacts are very local, filling the 19 available seats of The People Chamber is national. Each of the 8 regions have a number of seats referring to the size of their population, and the number of Hood Contacts won, will decide how many of those seats each party shall fill. Detailed and complicated, but quite logical. Last period the LEFT party held majority including the President. Will Pepperstone get five more years?

Watch  the Region 12 NEWS special to find the results! Hosted by Simmerville Studio's news anchor, Paulo Caliente, assisted by Sabrina Grossing. Tomorrow there will be posted an article with reference to the political results.

Upcoming Election: 33 Candidates Introduced

(Current Year 224) Today the political parties LEFT, RIGHT and MIDDLE held a joint press conference at Hotel Roadstead (Magnolia Promenade, San Myshuno), where candidates for the upcoming Council election were introduced! Nomination Day was nearly a year ago (1 year before Election Day), and the lists of the 32 candidates went public on 1st day of Fall - but only with names, ages, hood and career. Now most candidates had 5 minutes on stage to share political plans and hopes.

This is the first time all 3 parties support a joint event. One should believe these candidates are rivals, as some are fighting for the same Hood Contact or Councilor position, but they all have a common mission of improving our community. Some candidates are aiming for the local Hood Contact position, and chose not to speech at today's event.

Region 12 NEWS - Election Y220 Special

Every 5th year there is a huge Election in my Region 12. First the 18 Hood Contacts are found, then each district (=world) decides which 2 Hood Contacts shall be Nominees for the district's Councilor, and finally those 5 Councilors have a last round of votes to rank the new Council and decide the Mayor for the new 5 years period.

This video is 18 minutes. Host Chad P. Mox takes you through the Election Day with the typical voting charts, street reporters and artists in studio. And - I did not know the final result until it was recorded.



This is an extra long edtion. Normally these TV news videos are less than 5 minutes and are posted on end of each sim year (= RL monthly).

Region 12 NEWS - Year 219

Just completed year 219, and I'm celebrating by starting a new series regional TV-news that will air after each year as a summary. It's not meant to be technically perfect, and might be of greater interest to myself. Still, you might find some inspiration and might even recognize a face or two if you watched any of my earlier series.

These clips will normally be max 5 minutes long, and they will contain standard rubrics like News, Finance, Showbiz, Job listings, and of course various family notes. The first two hosts to tie it all together are Chad P. Mox and Antoinette Morck.

Here's the first edition:
