Hello everyone! My name is SimValera and I like making beautiful videos based on SimCity. Even though the newest version of it has got some issues... I think it LOOKS awesome! And I aim to prove it!
 
MY LATEST CITY
 

Embrace the glow!

The Drive is irresistible when the night takes you away for the journey with this beauty of the jungle spontaneity!

 

______________________________________________________________________
 
 
The first one is called The City Of Sky Fields. It was inspired by the Cities of Tomorrow expansion pack. Hope you enjoy!
 
 
The comments are highly appreciated!

Very nice city and awesome video. I liked how you pieced together clips and how everything is nice and smooth. I also like how you did some scenes moving over the city and some of those close ups were really cool.

 

What software program do you use to put it all together?

 

I would like to make a video like this with my latest project orion city.

    Thank you! :D  To put it all together I use Adobe Premiere Pro

    I am not really a fan of SC2013 but this is really one good video. Great music and the way you stitched the clips together is good. I never understood anything related to Adobe Premiere, I'd stick to windows movie maker for simplicity.  :lol:

     

    I hope you add more videos soon and perhaps more details. :)

    What good would it bring if a man gains the whole world but loses his soul the one he loves?

    "If you try to please everybody, you often times end up pleasing nobody, especially yourself. When somebody offers to do a favor for free, like making a mod for SimCity 4, you shouldn't be overly critical of something generously given to you. In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." - Twilight Sparkle after playing SimCity

    "Being a mayor or a content creator for SimCity 4 is a heavy responsibility, Patrick. Each city and each custom content is like a child, and must be treated as such." - SpongeBob Squarepants after playing SimCity

    Another great video - this city has a great London feel - plus, love the tune you used.

    Thank you very much!

     

    Not all places out there are pretty. But that doesn't mean there's no hope... [Episode 1]

    I think you should try to be a bit more design centralized, instead of all griddy... Other than that I love it.

    Thank you! Stay tuned ;)

    Alright, thanks. I think the city represented down below might fit your tastes a bit more :)

     

    It's better together! The design idea of this city is about the union of different yet similar neighborhoods.

    Each neighborhood has it's own character:

    BrickStone Countryside - a small village with a central park that is surrounded by a few apartment buildings where people know practically everything about each other

    Downtown - business center of the whole city where you can find an extremely dynamic lifestyle
    The Holy Manors - luxurious shelter for the richest ones
    St. Val's University - prestigious educational institution named after one cool guy :D

    I'm so happy to know you like it! I was actually a bit nervous... Thanks!  :D

     

    Congratulations, your CJ was number one on Ben's Top Ten for the period 5 Sept - 16 October.

    That is amazing news! Thank you for telling me!

     

    Herzlich willkommen to the fascinating capital of Deutschland!

    The city of Berlin has a very rich history and a lot of gorgeous places to visit. In my miniature version you can find such famous spots and buildings as The Brandenburg Gate, Pariser Platz, the River Spree, the Berlin TV Tower (The Fernsehturm). Hope you enjoy!

    P.S. Thank you, Tobse, for the TV Tower! It has inspired me  :)

    Thanks! Yeah, I like making these hyperlapse scenes a lot (Though I haven't known a word "hyperlapse" until you told me  :D )

     

    Impressive work!

    Thank you!  ;)

    Thanks for saying it here! I would've never noticed because I'm such a Twitter newb!  :D

     

    cities are so great .Congratulations :D  :)

    Your words make me happy  ;)

     

    This week I've made a video showing off the city of an amazing (ex- (at that time))youtuber that I'm sure many of you're familiar with. It is Strictoaster's River Crossing! Because I wanted to commemorate his outstanding work somehow...

    BUT. River Crossing was created in SimCity 4. So I don't think it would be appropriate to post it in this City Journal.

    However, I will still leave a link for those of you who are interested - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l-kdFYxurc&list=UU4SmhlQcehrb2PcA3j74VUQ

    You should!  :yes:  Even though the game is not perfect it's still such fun to create something your own

     

    AMAZING cities! They are wonderful, I love them!

    Thank you!  :)  That's very kind of you

     

    Congratulations, your CJ was number one on Ben's Top Ten for the week ending 30 October.

    Great stuff - and you're number one on Ben's Top Ten again.

    Thanks, Benedict! Now it just gets kind of crazy with me holding number one again and again  :)

     
    This time I've taken on the "Mountain Men" challenge. The goal is to fit as many sims as possible into the most ridiculous map ever!
    I've managed to get a population of more than half a million people (505 000+). Which I guess is a pretty good number :D If you'd like to look through my city (or if you want the proof) than you can download it and have fun with it! ;) (in the description on youtube)
    Mountain Men Challenge was created by GameCaptain - http://www.youtube.com/user/FameCaptain
