Love the rippled aluminum effect...typical 80s futuristic

I love the anti-vandal panelling and doors you find on 1960s tower block lifts. So period.

The old lift looks like it is wrapped in aluminium foil......

This is not a Cable lift. This is a Cable CO lift. Cable started in the 1990's. Cable CO started in the 1960's.

Why are the buttons so high up on the second elevator? How is anyone in a wheelchair going to reach those??

There was a old multi-storey car park in Corby that had lifts that had doors like that but they had 90’s Dewhurst and then recently the car park got knocked down but the lift tower is still there ??? But the added a new stair way and a new lift shaft at the other end of the car park which are some Kone Ecodiscs. I don’t know if the old lifts exist or not as there’s a metal locked door in the way.

Flats. The 1st floor is the entrance to the flats, the 2nd floor is the first floor of the flats (the bedrooms i guess), then 3rd are the flats on the next level up.

Well at least the 2nd one even though it doesn’t have the safety sensors on the doors it still has the safety bumper on it

Cool, yeah I'd like that. I haven't been to Poland. The other places I've been to have been connected with the work I do, and they are free (my company pays for the flight, I do the work and find some lifts in the process!) I wouldn't really want to travel to Poland and pay for the flights, hotels, etc, just so that I can film some lifts. Also there are so many people in Poland that have probably already filmed the sort of things that I film. Surprisingly large community. The Coal mines sound interesting.

I believe so - just in case kids pressed the alarm button. But what if they were actually stuck in the lift??! I suppose it was thought that kids would use the lifts with their parents. Most lifts from this era had the 'do not press during normal operation' buttons up high.

+Telfuke Yes, well when this lift was designed it probably wasn't envisaged that kids would ride in lifts without an adult. The alarm button was high to prevent kids playing around with it and to stop it being pressed in error. Also, bear in mind that in the 60s/70s there were no intercoms in the lift, so it was difficult to prove whether the alarm bell was pressed by accident or it's a real situation - if the alarm bell rang then the fire brigade were probably called.

That was the thought, back in the 60s/70s. Alarm buttons activated bells, and without auto-dialler (this was the 60s/70s) the caretaker would have to be called to investigate. So the button was placed high up. Of course, if a kid was in the lift alone, how would he/she get attention!!

@mrmattandmrchay

2 жыл бұрын

They were originally fitted so high to stop kids "mucking around" with them. Back then, it was just a bell on the ground floor and it relied on members of the public to call the caretaker if there was a problem. I suppose that every time the bell was pressed the caretaker would be called. Didn't have diallers and companies that monitored the lifts remotely back then.

How is modernization a bad thing?

This is my last response to this as I'm getting bored. This was 06:45 in the morning - no-one else was around. If there was an emergency then I would have heard it and I would have stayed out of the way. I rode it from G to 3. Went to motor room where it was free for someone else to use, and did this about 3 times. The lift isn't an "emergency" lift, your argument would have been more relevant. Next time I'll have a shout around and make sure no-one is having/ or is expecting to have an emergency before I use a lift. "Playing around pushing buttons" - I don't know what your problem is? So when I see someone driving a claasic car around the streets for no reason, is this person "Playing around in a car and using up road space and might block an ambulance?". Some people like classic cars, I happen to like classic lifts. Life is full of risks, but complaining at me for using a lift (which is what I lift is for) at 06:45 in the morning, then giving me a scenario of someone has a heart attack which you think I would fail to notice, and besides, when I'm out of the lift it's free for someone to use anyhow. I'm thinking that maybe there is something else that's bothering you instead? I don't know, but it remains a very weak argument.

Hiya Adam, It's a block of flats, so "I THINK", on the GROUND FLOOR are one/two bedroom flats on one floor. FIRST FLOOR are lots of three bedroom flats (houses) with 2 floors. THIRD FLOOR these might also be three bedroom flats with 2 floors. So why no second floor? The second floor is missed because the houses on the first floor have stairs to go upstairs. This is really the 2nd level. Hope that makes sense :)

@mrmattandmrchay

9 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comments. Yeah, I think what you mean is the "shaky" effect rather than the camera work? My camera work and angles are well thought out, and if I'm not happy then I go back and film it again. I'm very fussy that the camera is pointing the right way, film-pause-move-pause, far back enough, etc. I've been uploading since 2008 and this is my first comment regarding bad camera work. Hence here comes a long response :) 1:08 pause 1:12 - 1:16 pause so audience can focus on the subject 1:19 - again, pausing 1:23 pan back to overview shot and holding as steady as I can until 1:31 2:20 steady and pan back 2:49 slow panning shots 2:56 walking whilst filming, cant get much more steady without gimbal 2:58 until 3:07 this is very steady for a hand held camera Camera shake, yes, I can see what you mean, nothing I can do though as this was as steady as my hand would go. However, my new camera has much better image stabilisation which works a lot better when held in the hand. The camera used here is about 3 years old. It's very difficult to use a tripod, gimbal or other kit to perfect this, especially in public when I am not a resident in that block and my intention is to "film then leave asap"

mrmattandmrchay I understand. My criticism about the "camera work" didn't imply any of the editing work, both on site and in post-production, which is pretty good actually. The camera work in this video still might induce some "motion sickness" though, when panning too fast, changing angles too quickly, and "hunting" for the best angle. But, hey, who am I to complain. We're lucky that you're willing to share your "elevator hunting" with us, and I thank you for that. As I said, the content is still very interesting nonetheless ! Cheers.

AlainHubert I try and film so that the audience is inside my camera, part of the experience. For example, when I consider the motor room visit, my eyes (or lens) pan up to the ladder then back down so the audience can see my intention both in text and visually though the camera lens. I try not to keep the camera too still else I may as well just take photos. But I know what you mean and thanks for your comments. You're always under pressure to "get going before someone comes". I don't know why, but I really like to be on my own when filming else my mind isn't on what I'm doing (or I feel a bit geeky!!!).
