FAQ | The Rising Salamander Showdown Series

Lift Galore FAQ   

What is a trailer?

A trailer is an introduction to the lift galores to follow. A trailer can be up to 3 minutes long & offers a brief glimpse of each lift which will be featured on a LIVE premiere. These trailers premiere 24 hours before said specific corresponding part of the lift galore premieres. Magisto is used to create this type of premiere.

What is a lift galore?

A lift galore is a lift tour premiere that is 3-15 minutes long. This is the basic lift galore showcasing all lifts filmed during a regular, single-day lift filming excursion where up to 10 lifts are filmed. A lift galore can be broken up into multiple parts if over 10 lifts were filmed during the same day or to conserve technological resources during editing. Clipchamp is used to create lift galore videos, with the Clipchamp watermark & 480 P export quality (for now).

What is an extended urbex lift galore?

An extended urbex lift galore is a lift galore that is 15-30 minutes long. This lift galore usually happens to premiere the top 10 lifts from a larger or overnight excursion if over 10 lifts are filmed. Clipchamp is used to create lift galore videos, with the Clipchamp watermark & 480 P export quality (for now).

Readcast FAQ

What is a short readcast?

A short readcast is a quick summary of a lift galore containing a single lift, or a summary of a trailer/preview to ready viewers for a future lift galore. This type of readcast usually contains 200 words or fewer & is 1 to a few paragraphs long at most. This type of readcast has free access.

What is a medium-length readcast?

A medium-length readcast is a decent-length summary of a lift galore containing a couple lifts from the same building & is usually published a few hours before the trailer/preview to the lift galore is premiered on the channel. This type of readcast usually contains 200-300 words & can be up to a few paragraphs long depending on how many details of the lifts were noted during filming. This type of readcast has free access.

What is a full-length readcast?

A full-length readcast is a full-length summary of a lift galore containing the average number of lifts (4-5) filmed in a lift galore from 1-2 buildings & is usually published the day of the lift galore premiere. This type of readcast usually contains 300-400 words & can be several paragraphs long depending on how many lifts were filmed in a lift galore & how much detail was noted during the filming process. This type of readcast has free access.

What is an extended-length readcast?

An extended-length readcast is a very long & detailed transcribed overview of a longer lift galore, e.g. urbex lift galore where other portions of film outside of the lift (general building photography, fire alarm tours, stairwell tours or other architectural pictures) are included inside the lift galore along with clips of the lifts. These types of readcasts usually vary in length from 400-500 words & can be several paragraphs long depending on how much detail was noted during the filming process. This type of readcast has free access.

Premium Readcasts FAQ

What is a premium readcast?

A premium readcast is the longest & most detailed transcribed overview of an extended urbex lift galore (in most situations) or during extended lift galores where a lot of footage from a few lifts, or some footage from many lifts (10+ lifts) were recorded during the filming process. These types of readcasts usually vary greatly in length & are over 500 words long with the potential to have up to 1,200 words depending upon the magnitude of detail noted during the filming process. These readcasts are usually a subscription-based service, but will remain a free service through June 2022. OVERNIGHT LIFT GALORES WILL BE PARTIALLY FUNDED BY PROCEEDS FROM THE PREMIUM READCAST SUBSCRIPTION PLANS.

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...
