Profiteer (original Turkish title: Vurgun) is a "The Sims™ 4" Drama Series, which was created by a team called "Buballs" on Youtube. The series premiered in January 22nd, 2018. Originally, it was supposed to take place in Late-November (2017), but because of some reasons, it got premiered in January 22nd, 2018. The series takes place in two main different places: "Hazancı Neighborhood" and "Atay Mansion" (Brindleton Bay & Widenburg).
- The series narrates that a woman who left her three children 20 years ago for a rich life. After years of being silence, she opened her mouth and wanted to meet her children. This series narrates the intrigues around those two families.
This series has not received so many reactions (positive or negative), but the creator Buballs said that Profiteer's English subtitled episodes, trailers and extra videos will be added to its channel in Summer 2018. They are hoping to reach so many people with that. It is said that second season will have Turkish Dubbing so English subtitles will be added.
Production[]
The series' graphics and its teaser have done in October 2017. But because of uncertain reasons the premiere of the series delayed. The logo of the series contains a flourish design and the series title. Because of not getting attraction in youtube by the watchers, Buballs also thought about deleting the content and closing the channel forever. But after the first episode got nearly 1000 viewers, this thought have been cancelled. Due to this situation, the date that fourth episode got published is delayed. After all, Berk Sezen (founder of Buballs, Editing Director, Director, Producer) announced that Profiteer will have second season whenever first season ends. He also announced that first season's end will take place after the story can be understandable. Series also has Facebook and Instagram pages.
- Also a group called "The Sims Three & Four Türkiye " on Facebook, gave their positive thoughts and reactions to the series.
Story, Script and Scenario Steps[]
After "A Victim's Story" 's failure in the first season, Berk Sezen and Buballs have decided to make another series while A Victim's Story
Profiteer Logo
was premiering its second season. This led Berk Sezen and Gökdeniz Babadağ (who also wrote A Victim's Story's scenario) to find a new story to make a new series on Youtube. Finally in October 2017, Berk Sezen announced Profiteer on the group we mentioned above. After all, the sims and places got made by Buballs. A teaser got published, which doesn't contain anything from episodes, to make people think and wonder what this series will narrate. After three plain episodes, finally new casts announced in the 4th Episode. (Kamile Uyaran, Beliz Karakoçak, Hamza & Didem Atik) In the first episodes, Buballs tried to let viewers understand who is who and what its story, but after many people not understanding anything, Berk Sezen who is also editing the episodes made an opening for the series and Scenario Group (Hazar Barış Öz & Gökdeniz Babadağ) started to explain who is who and their own stories.
Season Two[]
It is said that second season will have very different stories than season one. As we talked with Berk Sezen, who was the main scenario writer for season one, won't be writing the scenario for second season. As we get this information we also get to know that Hazar Barış Öz will be the main director alongside Gökdeniz Babadağ. After this information, let's get into second season's backstory!
"Happiness, wasn't won easily for them. Story of past's dark clouds that will always be on top for Elveren family, won't ever stop raining under Elveren's. The days that they dig with their nails, will always be the number one targets of the rainy days if they don't give any victims for it. Abandoning her children behind her is the worst thing that a mother could do. This time, Nur has another child to make her forgive in her eyes. Life will show its brutal side again and again to the ones who want to live in prosperity. Because each one of them will always have something to explain, and remorse to deal with."
After these, we learned that there are two new actresses and one new actor! And those are Beste Atay (Nur and Önder's daughter), Zerrin Aksel (Necip's sister) and Kıvanç Aksel (Zerrin's son). There are also some speculations that says the series will focus on the intrigues inside the Atay Mansion.
Season Three[]
Season Three is written by Berk Sezen and Hazar B. Öz.
After Kıvanç was killed everything is on thin ice now. New season begins with Peri injuring herself with headbutting to a mirror in Neslişah's house. It's revealed that Didem recorded Kıvanç and Peri and is now in an alliance with Ilkay!
Filming & Editing[]
Nice programs and nice team makes the editing and filming of the series. Hasan Çetkin who is the Art Director of the series, sets the place up and clothes the sims. After all with various programs, the scene and audio gets recorded. Two or three days of a week is enough for making a 20-minute episode for the team. But sometimes it delays because of some of the employee's school problems or private problems etc. After the recording ends, Berk Sezen opens the programs and starts editing. There are simply three techniques he always does; dragging the recorded angles of a scene, cutting them and mixing audio in the same time, and putting the correct lightning effects and correcting the color of the scene. After that if necessary, he adds some sound effects (SFX) to emphasize the scene. Sims are talking Simlish in the series, but in editing they add Turkish subtitles to the episodes
He uses Sony Vegas Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Audition to edit the series.
Season 2 & 3[]
Premiere Pro and After Effects will be used in editing of second and third. season.
