Northern & Western New Jersey Lift Filming Journal

Because of the Omicron variant, coupled with a substantial increase in COVID transmission throughout the United States, all lift filming events will continue to take place virtually  using Bandicam & Skyscrapersim until further notice. Additionally, the Stamford & NYC trips in January & February 2022 have been replaced with virtual lift filming days. These safety precautions are being taken despite me being triple vaccinated & dual-masked.  Further Notice Policy The further notice policy implies that there is a 14-day average of 49,999 cases or fewer, 21-day average of 74,999 cases or fewer, or a 28-day average of 99,999 cases or fewer throughout the United States. In-person lift filming will then resume as long as the 28-day average of the daily U.S. cases does not rise above 100,000. Should it rise above 100,000 at any point in time, the further notice policy will be reapplied & will not be switched back for 28 days. Changes since the December 19 COVID Al...

Because of the Omicron variant, coupled with a substantial increase in COVID transmission throughout the Northeastern United States, all lift filming events will now take place virtually  using Bandicam & Skyscrapersim until further notice, with the exception of the following: January 28-29 trip to Stamford, CT (Stamford Marriott Hotel & Spa) February 18 trip to Staten Island NYC These safety precautions are being taken despite me being triple-vaccinated & dual-masked. When I know more about the severity of the Omicron variant, I will use the available science & data to make temporary decisions on whether to go back to in-person lift filming or remain virtual. ALL DECISIONS ARE SCIENCE & DATA-DRIVEN!

 Here are some of the benefits of filming lifts virtually using Skyscrapersim during the pandemic. Reduce/avoid exposure to COVID-19 By filming lifts virtually using Skyscrapersim & a screen recorder on your computer, you do not face the same risks as filming lifts in person. You do not bump into other people or contract germs which reduces or eliminates your chances of being exposed to COVID-19. Convenience & assurance All you need is a computer, a working build of Skyscrapersim 2.0 Alpha compatible with your computer & a screen recorder to film lifts virtually. This computer can be a Windows or Mac computer. You can film as much as you like, at anytime. You do not have to drive your car around to different buildings film lifts. Additionally, you won't have to worry about negative encounters with security because security "does not exist" in a Skyscrapersim building. No limit to how much you can film Because you can build your own buildings using Sky...

I am writing to announce the successful completion of my fall semester of my junior year at Kean University. I am immensely grateful for how the semester played out & was able to film a tone of lifts throughout the process. Over the next couple of weeks, plans for 2022 will be discussed in full length, which will be subject to revision at any point in 2022 where a revision is deemed fit.
