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 (right). 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 near to 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 3 & 4 Türkiye " on Facebook, gave their positive thoughts and reactions to the series.
Story, Script and Scenario Steps
After "A Victim's Story" 's faliure in the first season, Berk Sezen and Buballs have decided to make another series while A Victim's Story was premiering its second season. This lead 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 plain 3 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.
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. 2 or 3 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 to editing. There are simply 3 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 nessecary, 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 (as mentioned, english episodes will be released in Summer 2018)
He uses Sony Vegas Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Audition to edit the series.
