This screenshot has been sitting on my computer for almost four months now. I might get back to my Angel City save and make a full tour at some point, I really like this lot. Things were strange in my life when I was building it, but I remember showing it to my mom and she was so proud of me. Well, it is a game but she was happy for my accomplishments and has always been - whether they're academic, professional, or personal. It reminded me personal projects do matter, and I have the most loving and supportive parents.
Anyway, I thought it would be nice to create a film studio. Never been the biggest fan of the Plumbob Pictures Backlot in Bridgeport. Originally, I was gonna do it on one 64x64 lot but I eventually redesigned it to annex the lot beside it, so it's basically a 64x128 now - there's a North Gate and a South Gate. It's also built so you could dismember it and pick a stand-alone part you rather place in your town, without having it feel incomplete.
I decided to go more in the TS1 Superstar direction of Old Hollywood glamour and that kind of vibe. While I was doing the research, I learned that the little shuttle sims took to Studio Town was based on Universal Studios' GlamorTrams, in operation from 1964 to 1983. They have a few entries on IMCDB also on IGCD as minibusses.
Naturally, I was obsessed with this ad. One of the goals was to capture some of that essence with the lot lol I was also very entertained by this 1984 studio tour, Yesterworld's video on Universal's Abandoned Tram Tour Attractions, and Warner Bros.'s Virtual Tour.
I was also happy to come across You Must Remember This, which does an awesome job on going through the history of the US movie industry. One of the founders of Paramount Pictures ended being a source of inspiration for my version of Fairchild Films. I imagine W.W. Fairchild as a big name W. W. Hodkinson type.
That sorta ties in with the story I came up with to pay homage to the original TS1 Fairchild Film Studios. That building looks more like a mansion and is said to contain their "primary studios and corporate headquarters" and I don't really buy that. So in my head, there is a house by the soundstages, which was part of their corporate activities at some point, and that is now a museum.
"He held so many meetings at the Villa he ended up converting it into studio offices when the Fairchilds moved to Rockford Hills. And so it remained our corporate headquarters for decades." (I had scrapped this out of my original post because I thought it was already too long but who cares, there's people that are dying Kim)
I decided to go with a Spanish colonial revival style instead of being completely faithful to the source material.
