LIFT FILMING PLANS FOR 12/17

Coronavirus Pandemic Standards

With the exception of the fifth anniversary lift filming plans, the standard for lift filming is as follows:

  • U.S. daily coronavirus cases must not exceed 55,000 for the 4 consecutive days before the planned in-person lift filming day & none of the four up to the planned lift filming day can have a 6% increase or more in daily cases from the day before.
  • New Jersey daily coronavirus cases must not exceed 1,000 cases for the 4 consecutive days before the planned in-person lift filming day & none of the four up to the planned lift filming day can have a 10% increase or more in daily cases from the day before.

If both requirements are met on each of the four days before a planned in-person lift filming day, the in-person lift filming plans will exist. If during any of the four days before a planned lift filming event are the requirements unmet, I will have a virtual alternative in place. This will be my new rule for the remainder of the pandemic until the following conditions are met on a consistent basis (13 weeks):

  • U.S. cases: 9,999 or fewer per day
  • New Jersey cases: 249 or fewer per day

Virtual Alternatives

If a lift filming day should be switched to virtual for any reason, I will prepare buildings using the Skyscraper Simulator to supplement before the lift filming day.

In-person Lift Filming

During the pandemic, live lift filming is off limits. However, a tik tok account at @clinton.township.lifts will be created for short lift filming skits.

In-Person Lift Filming Plans

The plan is to go to Short Hills Mall on December 17 at 5:15 PM.
Lifts to be filmed (In order of increase distance away from Nordstrom):

  1. Auxiliary Lift
  2. Nordstrom Lifts
  3. Macys Lift
  4. Yellow Carpark Lifts
  5. Crate and Barrel Lift

Virtual Lift Filming Plans

The plan is to film one building in Skyscrapersim at 5:30 PM should there be extenuating circumstances not allowing me to film lifts in-person on December 17. The current options are:

  • Guy’s Hospital
  • Spire Mod (Non-stop only from CL to 176)
  • Triton Center (Hotel Section)
  • Coalham Housing Estate (Skywalk Terrace only)

Regardless of which route I choose, the lift videos will be compiled into a movie to be uploaded to my YouTube Channel on the day of my fifth anniversary which is December 26 at 9:30 AM & 11:00 PM, respectively. Additionally, an Excel Spreadsheet will be used to track the percentage gain/loss of coronavirus cases from each of the 4 days leading up to December 17.

Found the source of the problems with my PC

I am proud to finally tell y’all that I believe I have found a definite source of the problems I have been experiencing with my Windows PC over the past few days. It was because of a faulty Windows 10 preview update which was affecting the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. Luckily, I have found a trustworthy program (free of malware) which I could use to debug errors in my PC at any time, minor or major. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s happened when I tried to fix windows PC’s in the past. I am still taking  every precaution possible to further decrease the chance of my Windows PC breaking down or crashing. As a matter of fact, my PC almost crashed  this morning , but luckily, I was able to hard-restart the PC to get it working again by holding the power button down for 15-20 seconds. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s h...

LIFT FILMING AGENDA UPDATE 1.25.2019 & WILL CHICAGO BE CROWNED THE NEW KING?

Chicago holds a high possibility of being crowned first place . What if I told you that Chicago has some rare and exotic lifts that you probably won’t find in many other places in the U.S.? That is an existence a lift filmer will be delighted with when they go to the city of Chicago. My four figures of reference were: WI Sirens and Elevators Elevators of Lake County CHI Elevators Windy City Elevators Because I have found so many outstanding Montgomery, Dover, SchindlerHaughton, Westinghouse and KONE lifts throughout the city of Chicago, it wouldn’t be sensible for me to write it all under one big blog post, because it would be a big waste of time for me to go into big, elaborate detail on what made each lift stand out. What I found on YouTube in terms of Chicago lifts Mitsubishi and Fujitec These lift filmers have walked around the city of Chicago filming some super nice lifts, and in the process of watching YouTube videos over the past few months, I have found that Ch...

QUICK RUNDOWN OF THE NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF A 700A

Tallest 700A’s I have been on Arguably, at 20 stories, these have been the tallest Schindler 700A’s I have EVER been on, and the first I’ve been on in a hotel. However, I have noticed some interesting characteristics of the Schindler 700A in mid to high rise applications. Epic lifts indeed To start off, these lifts had absolutely incredible acceleration, deceleration and leveling. They take off like rockets and travel at a mindblowing speed of 120 meters per minute, despite serving a travel distance of 55-60 meters. The deceleration is similar to the Schindler 700A’s at the Nordstrom store at the Mall at Short Hills, as it smoothly phases into its full deceleration mode. In terms of character, these lifts do tend to make a little bit of noise and shake on the way up and down the tower. Car 3 makes a very loud screeching noise as it accelerates towards level 17 going down, which I find to make the ride even more fun. These lifts were installed in 1993, which gives them even more 199...
