WHAT’S NEW: MAY 29

Made a trip to Millburn Township, New Jersey In Millburn, I filmed around 9 lifts, all at the mall at Short Hills. Disappointment at Neiman Marcus As I was waking into Neiman Marcus on the morning of May 25, I was expecting an original Montgomery Twinkie-M from the 1990’s, but when I got to the lift lobby, I arrived only to find out that the call buttons have been replaced with brand new Innovation Prestige buttons from the past 6 months!!! This was an utter disappointment as I have been wanting to film the original Montgomery lift for ages upon ages!!! Even though the lift appeared to have been modernised, I decided to take a look inside the lift to see if it actually got modernised. Upon entering the lift, turns out that it DID get modernised with a brand new set of Innovation Prestige buttons (pretty good buttons, some of my favorite from Innovation), so I decided to take a ride in it to find out if the machinery have been replaced with new machinery. Turns out, the machinery w...

SPRING BREAK IN SUMMARY WHAT TO EXPECT FROM NOW UNTIL JUNE 17

Lifts I filmed over my week off from school: Schindler 400A MRL glass lift in a 9-story courthouse carpark in Elizabeth NJ near KEAN University KONE MCE glass lift (Embassy Suites in Secaucus) KONE HORNRTDISC MonoSpace lift (Embassy Suites in Berkeley Heights Township) Schindler M-Series lift (Nordstrom, short hills mall) OTIS Elevonic 411 lift from 1991 (Nordstrom, Menlo Park Mall) All lifts were filmed OUTSIDE of Clinton Township unless otherwise noted! What will I do with all of these lift videos? Since I have FINALLY found a viable movie maker on my android phone complete with an intro maker app, I am now able to create the same types of videos on my Android which meet the same expectations as I have for the kinds of videos that I create on my Windows PC. At the price of less time needed to spruce up the videos and automatic upload to the cloud, all I simply need to do is upload the videos from Google Photos to YouTube, saving many steps along the way.
