The Premise
Welcome to "Snap City," a South Park-inspired series where the boys become professional photographers at San Francisco City Hall, navigating the cutthroat world of wedding photography, political events, and tourist photobombers while getting tangled in absurd SF politics. Set beneath the tallest dome in America (yes, taller than the U.S. Capitol!), our protagonists deal with pretentious Instagram influencers, neurotic couples, corrupt officials, and the never-ending battle for the perfect shot on the Grand Staircase.

Stan takes his photography seriously and constantly tries to balance artistic integrity with paying the bills. Often the voice of reason, he's frequently horrified by SF politics and the ridiculous demands of clients.
Kyle knows all the City Hall photography regulations by heart and gets stressed when others break them. He's constantly researching new equipment and techniques while lecturing others about proper flash usage.
Cartman is always looking for a way to make easy money with minimal effort. He sells counterfeit photo permits, steals other photographers' shots, and manipulates clients with outlandish promises.
Kenny constantly dies in photography-related accidents while trying to get the perfect shot. He dangles from the 307-foot dome, gets trampled by wedding parties, and electrocutes himself with lighting equipment.
Butters carries everyone's equipment, gets sent on impossible errands, and somehow manages to remain cheerful despite being blamed whenever a photo is out of focus.
Randy believes he's creating groundbreaking art with his blurry, poorly composed shots of City Hall architecture. He constantly enters photography contests and is devastated when he loses.
Based on various SF political figures, Mayor McDome constantly hires photographers to make her look good while implementing ridiculous policies. She's terrified of looking bad on social media.
A parody of SF's progressive politics, PC Photography Principal enforces increasingly absurd rules about "ethical" photography, forcing the boys to attend his mandatory "photographic consent" workshops.
Kenny dies in a different photography-related accident in every episode: crushed by falling lighting equipment, electrocuted by flash units, falling from drone shots, attacked by angry wedding parties, etc.
Cartman always has a new photography-related scam: selling fake photo permits, claiming to be a celebrity photographer, photoshopping clients into fake City Hall access areas, selling "dome energy crystals," etc.
Every episode features Mayor McDome announcing a new ridiculous City Hall initiative or rule: "No photography on Tuesdays to respect the building's emotional needs," "Mandatory dome worship ceremonies," "All City Hall photos must feature at least 3 tech entrepreneurs," etc.
Different historical figures associated with City Hall make ghost appearances: Harvey Milk offers photography advice, Joe DiMaggio searches for Marilyn Monroe, and earthquake victims from 1906 photobomb important shots.
Every episode includes a random fact about the City Hall dome (taller than the US Capitol, survived the 1906 earthquake, etc.), usually delivered by Kyle at inappropriate moments during intense scenes.
