Checking In - Round 1

Your first mission is to come up with a new chat show. This could be a general chat show, or a hobby specific one (such as fishing or music, as examples)

The Set:
You only need to make as much as the set as you would see on camera, and you don’t need seating for the audience (although this can be added if you want.) You will need somewhere for the host to sit, and at least a two tile sofa/couch for the guest(s) to sit on. You can add any other decorations you want to the set. You should aim to post around 3-5 pictures of the set, showing possible shots the cameramen may use, and an overview of the set (this does not mean an overhead view, it means a shot of the whole set.)

The Host:
The Sim you need to make for this round is the host of your show. They can be young adult, adult or elder and can be either gender. You should show us a picture of them in their interviewer seat, and provide a short bio (between 2 - 5 sentences) about them; their presenting style, hobbies, personal details etc… You can post a maximum of one other picture of the host, if you would like.

Notes:
You are not required to (i.e. do not) write an example interview, however you may have pictures of an interview between your host and a created "guest" in your "The Set” pictures to illustrate the camera shots that could be used.

This round will close on Wednesday 8th July 2009.

Flora McDermott grew up in a family of gardeners. Her parents even had her gardening as a baby, and Flora took a natural liking to it. Throughout high school, she became more and more sociable and charismatic, and started a web show about different plants. Her dream has now come true, now that SimStation has offered her her very own talk show.

Side Notes:
This is my first contest, so I'm pretty excited. And second, sorry if the pictures are a little grainy =/ I don't want to down load a screen cap program

Kustirider2, Round 1

The set







Interview

Resistance!
Hosted by Agent GSW


Who is Agent GSW?
Only those part of the Resistance really know her real identity, but what we see on the remains of our televisions is a young female survivor with one heck of an attitude. Before the apocalypse hit, it was believed she was a politician of some sort, ex-intelligence officer, perhaps. It is well-known however, she is an expert markswoman and has inflicted severe damage on the new Government's troops, with the aid of her fellow 'freedom fighters'. She is quite fond of making a mockery of the new leader, and everything he says and does, she's also very, very good at it.
She works for the only station the Government has not located the base for, and therefore hasn't destroyed it - SimStation.

The set, and the show.








Of course, this isn't quite how you'd see it on your TV, it'd be more like this:

round 1-happyasabunny

Music Talk Show
This show is all about the music and the people who sing/play it.

Kelly Wilson
The host of the music talk show (All About the Music)
She was a singer in the group Sims of America when she was 10. Ever since then she has wanted to involve herself in everything music. She loves to get dressed up and have fun with all of her friends and have a good time. She is 25 years old and this is her first time as a talk show host.




The Set
The set is kind of small but gets the job done. It's girly with a small hint of masculinity.



Notes: I made it more like a set placed outdoors rather than in a building...I hope thats ok.

The Interview
She interviewed Selena Newell a big pop singer for teens.





Selena Newell
A fun loving teen that has a lot ahead of her. She just made it big in the music industry. She loves to write when she is not singing. She came from a large family that she is now supporting with her new found fame.

Round 1 4eversims100

Round 2

Your next assignment is to create a new cookery programme that focuses on a host and their particular style of cooking.

The Set:
You only need to make as much as the set as you would see on camera, and as the show is prerecorded you don’t need seating for the audience. You will need somewhere for the prepare food, so you must have a fridge, sink, oven and at least two tiles of surfaces. You can add any other decorations and appliances you want to the set. You should aim to post around 3-5 pictures of the set, showing possible shots the cameramen may use, and an overview of the set (this does not mean an overhead view, it means a shot of the whole set.)

The Host:
The Sim you need to make for this round is the host of your show. They can be young adult, adult or elder and can be either gender. You should show us a picture of them in preparing food in their kitchen, and provide a short bio (between 2 - 5 sentences) about them; their presenting style, their favourite type of food, how they got into food, personal details etc… You can post a maximum of two other pictures of the host, if you would like.

Notes:
Try and come up with a unique idea for your cook's personality; they could be a sweet old lady who loves baking or a young man who teaches food that's quick and easy.

This round will close on Wednesday 15th July 2009.
