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...

THE OTIS IN ANAHEIM

Before writing this report, let me quickly give you some background on the lifts and escalators that I have seen during my time at DisneyLand in Anaheim, California with my family. Brief Overview While I was at DisneyLand in Anaheim, I have encountered four sets of very tall MontgomeryKONE escalators, a set of two very fast MontgomeryKONE traction units (partially outdoor as the first landing had a rear door that opened on the outside of the building), this OTIS hydro here that I managed to ride and film & another OTIS hydro that I didn’t get to ride nor film. These lifts, regardless, were still very awesome lifts, but for now, I will be going into a description of this amazing lift. What made this lift so amazing? This particular lift is so amazing because it’s a full-blown commercial hydraulic lift installed fully outdoors , which is rather unusual for an outdoor lift. This alone made it amazing. Upon first glance, it looks like a pretty standard lift that you would typical...
