THE COVID PANDEMIC AND LIFT FILMING SCHEDULE DISRUPTION

COVID pandemic and lift filming cancellation Q&A

The COVID pandemic has gone rampant. Therefore, I will not be filming lifts until the COVID pandemic has come to a close.

What does this mean for my lift filming career?

I will have no real-life oriented lift videos going up on my YouTube Channel for the next several weeks to months, nor will I be able to go out and film lifts for the time-being. Simply put, my lift filming days have temporarily come to a close. However, I will be able to make Skyscrapersim-oriented lift videos using Skyscrapersim BN edition & the WIN+G screen recorder software on my PC.

How often will there be updates to the journal?

Updates about the COVID pandemic and future tentative plans for lift filming will be discussed once every 1 to 2 weeks during the course of the COVID pandemic.

What is the plan for when I can go lift filming again?

At the close of the COVID pandemic, the tentative plans are to go lift filming at the Mall at Short Hills along with filming lifts at the following buildings at Kean University:

  • Kean Hall
  • Hynes Hall
  • Harwood Arena

Other lift filming events will be discussed on a weekly to bi-weekly basis.

Will COVID impact my 5th anniversary filming lifts?

COVID will hopefully be over by the time my 5th anniversary comes around this December. If this is the case, I plan to go to Nantucket, Connecticut and other parts of Connecticut to go lift filming, but this is not a promise. Plan B is to go to Charlotte to film lifts anywhere I can, plan C is to go to Atlantic City to film lifts wherever I can, plan D is to go to LA as a family trip (probably may not happen) & Plan E is to film lifts in detail at Freehold Raceway Mall, followed by the Mall at Short Hills. This year, December 26 falls on a Saturday so I might film lifts instead on December 24 IF THE COVID IS OVER BY THEN.

What if COVID is not over?

If COVID is still rampant by December 2020 (will hopefully not be the case), then I will work on a very big project in Skyscrapersim and create a Skyscrapersim-oriented lift galore in place of a detailed lift galore at Short Hills Mall.

Will COVID affect the graduation trip?

At this point, I really do not have an answer, but I hope COVID will not affect the graduation trip. So far, the goal is to get a solo flight to Los Angeles, rent out a Ford Expedition and film lifts in LA’s top 10 tallest buildings. Please bear in mind details will be added to the journal every 2 weeks.

Why Schindler & KONE make the best traction lifts

Over the past 2 & a half years of filming lifts at different buildings all over the Eastern Seaboard, I have managed to film a handful of OTIS, Schindler, ThyssenKrupp & KONE traction lifts. Here is my assumption: Schindler & KONE make the best traction & MRL traction lifts of any of the 4 major lift brands. Of course, this could be based on personal bias, but it doesn’t go without knowledge that Schindler lifts, are in fact, more efficient time-based than let’s say, ThyssenKrupp lifts. Here are some things that I really love about Schindler & KONE traction lifts. Their fast acceleration / leveling It is no surprise that Schindler & KONE have some of the fastest average accelerating rates of any major lift brand. This is because Schindler & KONE have a perfect reference-tackle system, which is almost unbeatable by standards of other lift brands. One thing I have noticed when riding Schindler lifts is even at low speeds (200-400 FPM), you head feels like...

A QUICK ANALYSIS OF EACH OF THE LIFTS AT BRIDGEWATER MALL IN BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP

I do not have much time to elaborate on every single detail of the lifts at the Bridgewater Mall in Bridgewater Township, so I will try to narrow down my analyses as quick as possible. I have no time to include pictures as visuals either, so you’ll just have to refer to the attached YouTube video below. The Mall itself Bridgewater Commons Mall is a mall from the early 1980’s that has gone through quite a few renovations and expansions over the years. Inside the mall, the original anchors are Macy’s and Bloomingdales, which both have Westinghouse lifts, still fully original to the 1980’s construction project. The carpark was added in during the 1990’s and features the first lift I filmed which was the Dover glass hydraulic. Inside the mall, there is a food court on the third floor with three sets of escalators throughout the main part of the mall, with three more sets inside the multi-level stores (Bloomingdales, Macy’s, and Lord & Taylor). The majority of the escalators are Schin...

Written on behalf of the Rising Salamander Academy Lift Galore Date: June 17 Lift Galore Time: 5:00 PM EST It's been a long time since I've last filmed lifts in person, a whole whopping half a year to be exact. I'm excited to be back, but not for long, since I have to finish up my time at Kean University & focus on graduating on time. But for the mean time, let's enjoy our summer recess, film the best lifts we can film & make the most of it! Westinghouse Lift Where: Macy's, Garden State Plaza Time Filmed: 10:10 AM (June 10) Grade: B+ Speed to Height Ratio: 8.1:1 (Fast) Landings Served: 3 The first lift of this lift galore is a 1950's Westinghouse lift which was later modernised by a generic company between the 1980's & early 2000's with EPCO Flushline fixtures on the outside, EPCO Circleline fixtures on the inside. This lift has a speed to height ratio of 8.1:1 which makes it fast for the application & number of landings. This lift is loc...
