Projection Report 1/31 (Dylan P.)



Presentation Issues: The fire alarm went off towards the end of the first round. Did my tour of the building and manually re-started all the shows (for the most part — see below). This slowed things down a bit, but, we were able to get the second round running without much hassle.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: still waiting on Capernaum feature before we can building and schedule the playlists

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): received updated keys for Vice, which I have ingested. All shows should be good to run for the week.

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection:

Distro Doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: theater 2 does not seem to be accepting macro execution cues from any TMS program. When the fire alarm was triggered, it continually failed to run the Fire Alarm Clear executable. This prevented me from doing any of the other steps necessary to get the show running ("fortunately," there were no audience members in that theater). I was able to get Sam on the phone, and he was able to walk me through doing a hard reset of the circuit breaker on the theater #2 rack that runs into the panel. After this, I could clear the fire alarm lock on the light dimmers and get everything going again.
      However, it should be noted that the theater would not receive or run any other macro cues — all lighting/masking/etc cues had to either scheduled or run manually in booth #2 for the rest of the night (including end of night powering down of the lamp). Does anybody know what could be causing this?

Cue sheets updated (only if needed):

Showtime boards & recording updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes

Additional Notes: R.I.P. Aquaman

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey all! Well, we're just about there! Barbenheimer starts tomorrow. Alec and I ran the print this morning as a dress rehearsal to check image/sound and to give our lovely staff a first look. The print looks really beautiful and I'm very excited for this run. We'll get our eyes on the DCP tomorrow to compare sound, though we're almost certain the loud, static noises that occur during scenes of explosions or closeups of nuclear particles are intentional.  I want to share with everyone a document I've whipped up called Housekeeping Notes for the Projectionist: Plattering Oppenheimer. This document details everything from notes on threading procedures--to cleaning--to examples of common situations and how to respond/communicate with colleagues and, of course, staying on top of other duties. Whilst Alec and I will be there for the first couple of screenings and to assist with each projectionists' first time running the platter--pl

NPP Projection 11/17 Close

To do this evening/ was completed:v Mandy ingested to T1. Reached out to Vision for new posters. Was placed on hold, which was more an unending cycle of pressing 1 for hold and then being told to press 0 for voicemail or 1 for hold. Point being I left a voicemail requesting new posters. Gave them our account number, location and my cell. Outgoing marquee letters taken down. 11/10 playlists and forecasts deleted, Chicken Run V2 and Christmas Action trailers downloaded and ingested, 11/24 A1 playlists and packs built. Inspected Raising Cain print. It's in good condition, minimal scratching, no splices. Inspection sheet filled out. Transferred Marvels content to T6, as it was missing from the server due to the 1:20 tomorrow being a manual start.
