A Huge Shout Out to Otis Elevators From TJElevatorfan
I would like to thank Otis Elevators for giving me some really neat items when I was invited and given the chance by John Carpenter who is the General Manager of the Hampton Inn & Suites in Fort Jackson / Columbia SC to come and see a close up look at their special Otis elevator. Here's a salute to the Otis Gen2 Gearless Roomless System with RenGen Drive. There are only 2 pairs of this type in the world at this time. First pair is located at Hampton Inn & Suites in SC and the 2nd pair is located at another Hampton Inn in NC. What an honor it was for me to be invited up to see the elevator and be given all of these special items. Check out this link for more info on this neat elevator. www.otis.com/site/us/ pages/Gen2Elevator.aspx?menuID=2 and you can check out Hampton Inn & Suites FB page at www.facebook.com/HamptonInnColumbiaSE2012-12-10 23:55:10

Christmas 2012 Countdown from the Past or the Present: 16 Days to go
Almost forgot to upload Christmas Countdown video for today. Time's running short so this will be a short clip of some Christmas trees we saw today in SC at a few of the hotels we stopped by on our way home. Not the video I was planning on uploading today but we got back later than what I thought we would so don't really have time to upload the one planned for today, that one will be uploaded tomorrow. :)2012-12-10 05:14:12

Christmas 2012 Countdown from the Past or the Present: 17 Days to go
Today's upload is the Dancing Snowmen and Carol of the Trees of the Smokey Mountain Christmas celebration at Dollywood. My favorite part of this video clip I think would be the Christmas Story/Little Drummer Boy segment of the Christmas Tree Light Show. This was taken during Winterfest of 1999. Mom was about 6 and 1/2 months pregnant with me at the time. We end the video clip with a passing glance of the Southern Gospel Music Museum windows&parts of Dollywood all lit up including the Robert F. Thomas Chapel outlined in lights. Hope you enjoy it.2012-12-08 18:56:38

Park Elevator at Queens University in Charlotte, NC
I wished I had felt better today so I could have enjoyed this more. I was a bit under the weather but did not want to call off the scheduled meeting with Joli McClelland and Rebecca Anderson who was very nice in not only letting me ride the Southern Elevator in the library (which I will upload that video soon) but showing me several other elevators on campus. Thanks to Ms. Jan for letting us ride this one with her. :) I posted pictures of the elevators and some of the photos we took the other day on school field trip that we took to Queens. For more info on Queens University, Check out their Facebook Page, Website & YT Channel. queens.edu & www.youtube.com/user/queensuofcharlotte & www.facebook.com/ QueensUniversityofCharlotte2012-12-08 03:04:56

Christmas 2012 Countdown from the Past or the Present: 18 Days to go
This is another try to upload this video clip. The last time I tried it took over 8 hours to upload and over 12 hours to process only to give an error message. I reformatted&edited the file so hopefully this one will upload right. It is taken from a 21 year old VHS tape and it is the last Family Christmas Party that my Grandmother Medlin planned and hosted. She loved Christmas and knew how to celebrate. Her theme for this Christmas party was "Christmas around the World" and she did a lot of research of how Christmas is celebrated in different parts of the world for this event. She made take home programs of the different traditions including the various ways Santa is portrayed by different countries. She incorporated some of those traditions into her party such as the yule log and caroling plus family skits, etc. Some of you who know my dad may get a kick out of seeing what he looked like 21 years ago. I never got to meet my Grandmother Medlin here on Earth but videos like these are very special as it gives me a glimpse of what she was like and how her voice sounded. This video is for my Pop-Pop, aunt Brenda&uncle Wendell as well as my cousins Chris, Amy&Jolie.2012-12-07 23:53:53

Thyssenkrupp Elevator at the Hampton Inn on Clemson Frontage Rd, Columbia, SC

Making the Doughnuts: Anybody Hungry for a Snack?
Here's a short little clip that mom took on our last stop of our photography field trip last Friday. My teacher surprised my classmates&I with a special treat after we had finished taking photos outside at Queens University for our upcoming Christmas Program's scenery project. I normally do not like to eat sweets but when I am in the mood to eat a doughnut, I will eat one of these simple plain glazed doughnuts. Side note: while at Queens, we stopped in at the library there and I discovered they have a Southern Elevator which is for staff only so I didn't get a chance to ride it but since then mom has contacted the library and we are now in the process of scheduling a time for me to go ride their elevator with permission so stay tuned for that upcoming event. :) We only had the silver camera with us on the field trip so that's why this is not in HD.2012-12-05 00:43:35

Christmas 2012 Countdown from the Past or Present Series: 21 Days to go
Today's upload takes us back into the Past. This is from 2005 and we are at Dollywood Theme Park in Pigeon Forge, TN. It's towards the end of the night's festivities and since there is not a whole lot of people around, mom and dad let me walk instead of riding in the wagon they had for me. We also stop to watch the Christmas Parade. At the end of this clip we are at the Southern Gospel Music Museum which we show the tribute brick on the museum walkway that has my name and one of my former Sunday School Teachers' son's name engraved on it. We also include the segment where I sing Jesus Loves Me in the hall of fame area. I had started singing and clapping because I like the echo that area makes (mom had told me off camera that we needed to be a little more quiet but the staff in the store said that since there was hardly anybody there as it was almost closing time to go ahead and let me "belt one out" so I did. :) I will upload more of the Dollywood Christmas Decorations in another video at some point in this countdown series. I have had trouble with the processing of the last couple of videos that I have uploaded to YT so I'm making today's installment shorter to see if that helps with the uploading and processing issues.2012-12-04 17:09:28

Christmas 2012 Countdown from the Past or Present Series: 23 Days to go
This was requested by Dieselducy so I hope you enjoy it. It is an HD retake of the Christmas Countdown Snowman Decoration from the video that I uploaded back in 2010. I have gotten several emails about this particular item. Most want to know who makes its and where to buy one. It was sold by Avon years ago. There are several of these out on ebay now for sale.2012-12-03 00:21:39

Thought it would be fun to start a countdown to Christmas Video series where everyday from now until Christmas, I will upload a video dealing with a Christmas theme that can be from the past or the present. Hope you enjoy this series. :) Today is a video from the present of some Christmas lights we saw over Thanksgiving Break on our way home from Fayetteville, NC. We had gone up there to visit my Pop-Pop and put some flowers on my Grandmother Medlin's grave.2012-12-01 20:01:12

My 3rd Year Anniversary Celebration Video Being on YouTube
This is a video to celebrate my 3rd year anniversary being on YouTube. It was November 30th 2009 when I uploaded my first video which was filmed at the Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke, Virginia. First up in this celebration video is a vintage movie reel photo slide show of some major highlights from this year ranging from Elevated Hamptonality, Thyssenkrupp Elevators, Home2 Suites, getting stuck in the elevator with Garren to my meet up with Dieselducy&Cannycart :) then we get back to colorized video of the Springhill Suites in downtown Memphis, TN with the Thyssenkrupp Dover Elevator which seemed to have a controller gltich as it skipped on floor 4 going up. The floor light didn't light up and there was no dover buzz when passing floor 4 but both floor light and dover buzz work on the way back down for the 4th floor.2012-12-01 02:48:44

Schindler Elevator at the Upscale Sleep Inn in Downtown Memphis, TN
Here's yet another video clip from Memphis taken back in late August :) I keep thinking we have pretty much uploaded all of those videos (from that trip) but then I will find another clip we have not uploaded when sorting through my files. In this clip when riding the Schindler elevator at the Sleep Inn, I refer to the Hampton Brand Team Meeting we were at earlier in the day so at the start of the video, I share some photo highlights from that neat experience so ya'll can get a little taste of what I was referring to. :)2012-11-28 18:39:17

Here are the HD retakes we did of the elevators at this very nice resort.2012-11-26 07:53:53

Special thanks to General Manager, Juan Torres&Toni Buffey (Sales Manager) for inviting me to participate in the Grand Opening Event of Home2 Suites in Charlotte, NC. I got to help hold the Ribbon for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony which was a great honor and neat experience for me. I also got a kick out of "Elevated Hamptonality" being shown in the Conference Room. The food was tasty and we got a tour of another room type that we hadn't previously seen before which was the King Suite. Hope you enjoy this video clip of highlights.

Requested Seperate Video of Kone Elevator w/ Dewhurst Fixtures in MS
I had several people asking me to upload this clip and any additional footage I had of this elevator in a seperate video upload. This is one of the clips that was featured in my thank you video of 2 Million Views. It is is the elevator with Dewhurst fixtures located at the Holiday Inn Express in Olive Branch, MS. This is the footage I have of this elevator - maybe a bit more than what was already uploaded but not much. By the time we did this elevator, it was getting late and I was running out of steam. I am glad we found this one though. BCElevators has filmed this one too. I hope you enjoy it. :)2012-11-11 18:12:07

Schindler Elevator at the Holiday Inn Express in Shelby, NC
Didn't get it on camera but from the highway as you are passing by this hotel - there is a sloping bank that has a billboard right in front of the Holiday Inn Express that adverstises for the Hampton Inn that is located just down the street. I thought that was kind of funny. This Schindler seemed to be a bit noiser than normal but otherwise nice.2012-11-01 18:21:01

Otis Elevator at the Extended Stay America in Charlotte, NC
2 things to notice about this video clip: at 0:39 the directional indicator and also at 1:42 watch what happens with the phone door. Not a bad elevator although it did smell like smoke but that has nothing to do with the actual elevator itself. :) Liked the message on the bullentin board in employee break area (we didn't go in there - just took picture as door was open as we were passing by it)2012-10-25 05:43:55

Smiling can be Hard Work when You are on a Film Production Shoot...
One More Time...Big Smile...Big Smile...One More Time.. Big Smile...Big Smile... Did you know Smiling so much can make your face muscles feel like they have had a work out? :) Smiling can be HARD WORK! Mr. Ken Hamm was our director and Garye Costner was our camera man. Here's a little sniplet of behind the scenes of having to pose for the still and fade in and fade out shots of Elevated Hamptonality...

Hotel Room Time: Behind the Scenes Look at Being Filmed for "Elevated Hamptonality"
Clem - your mom has told me that you enjoy watching my videos so I thought I would surprise you and do a shout out to you. I appreciate you watching my videos and keeping up with me on Facebook. This is a behind the scenes look at some of the things we did for the filming of "Elevated Hamptonality" video that the great guys from icrossing filmed for Hampton. These scenes are the ones filmed actually in our room with me brushing teeth, Bear Story time&me using my computer. For more info on the film production company, check out their website at www.icrossing.com Some may think I might be too old for a Bear story but it is a tradition that dad&I do on weekend nights and special nights like when we are in a hotel. I enjoy hearing all the different voices dad comes up with for each of the bears and sometimes I even help come up with the plot of the story. We use different bears on different nights so that's another reason why I like to collect the TY bears because I look forward to dad making up a voice&personality for each one. :)2012-10-18 08:20:04

Otis Elevator at the Residence Inn in Southaven, MS
This is another requested shout out. This is to Caponecostello131 Thanks for watching my videos. Mom&I were talking about the trip in the video being some business and some pleasure (vacation) but in our honest opinions after the fact - it was all pleasure! The part of the trip with the Hampton Brand Team Meeting turned out to be the best part of the trip, to us anyway. I enjoyed it and am so glad they gave me the chance to come and be a part of the festivities. :) I also enjoyed the free time we had to go to Tupelo, MS and into Arkansas :)2012-10-15 23:37:54

Otis Elevator Modded by ? at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Memphis, TN
Not sure who modded these? I was thinking these were Kone until I saw bcelevators version and saw the classic Oits leveling. Looks similar to US elevators also in my opinion. Any ideas or thoughts from Elevator Community?2012-10-11 17:08:26

Westinghouse Elevators @ the Comfort Inn in Downtown Memphis, TN
This is a shout out to TotallyTechStuff. Thanks for watching my videos. BCElevators has filmed these also. These were kind of busy when we were there so we had to put several clips together to make a video of these but I am happy with the way it came out. At one point in the video you can see a string on the back of my hair that we didn't realize was there. I had taken off my hat in the car and I guess somehow there had been a string inside of it that stayed on my hair.2012-10-08 02:16:51

This video also covers 3 states: Tennessee, Arkansas & Mississippi. Hope you enjoy it.

For EMS318&Any Elvis Fans:Video Clip of Elvis' Birthplace in Tupelo&an Otis Elevator
EMS318 I decided to do a shout out to you since you have done several dedication videos to me. I hope you enjoy it. First up is a video clip (&also some photos) of the birthplace of Elvis Presley and the church building his family attended. 2nd is the Otis Series 1 elevator at the Staybridge Suites in Memphis, Tennessee which I am thinking used to be something else and Staybridge bought it because it is not your typical Staybridge design.2012-09-27 17:54:12

Kone Monospace Elevators at the Westin in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee
This is another shout out video. This one is to YT user 55466244. Thanks for watching my videos. We found the same set up as bcelevators when he filmed these. One elevator gave full access even though it had a card reader up to the 9th floor while the other elevator was locked out except to 2nd floor. Gluse has also filmed these.2012-09-27 15:19:38

Thyssenkrupp Elevator at the Memphis East 4 Points by Sheraton
When bcelevators filmed these (who got a better video of these then we did) elevator number 2 was having a door issue but it seems to have been fixed as it really didn't have a problem with us. These were really busy when we stopped by but we managed to get enough clips to put a video together. Elevator number one never did come down. The elevator bank in lobby had mirror doors. We used one of the video clips that we filmed here of the mirror doors in the birthday video for codownsonwii so I didn't include that one in this clip. Overall a very nice elevator.2012-09-26 14:01:26

Bonus - it went into nudge mode so we got a little bit of that in this clip.
