Projection report (3/19/19)



Presentation Issues: the TMS rack computer was acting a little funky so I gave it a reboot. No problems now.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: scheduled shows for Saturday — Thursday where possible (excluding special events and The Aftermath)

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: see Hi-res

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Put in an order at Eclair for the BEACH BUM feature

* we also received THE AFTERMATH. Feature has been ingested to TMS (and sent out to theaters 6 and 7)

** downloaded the OVUM and FRESH BLOOD shorts for the Blood Bath program next week, ingested them to TMS, sent them out to server 3

*** also received a new Trailmix

**** still waiting on: BLOOD BATH, PULP FICTION, DOG DAY AFTERNOON, and the homebrew IN BRUGES file

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Michael took the In Bruges blu ray to make a DCP for Monday's private event

Print/video Inspection:

Distro Doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: downloaded a bunch of un-needed features from servers 3 and 4

Cue sheets updated (only if needed): filled in cue sheets for Saturday & Sunday. Also changed the Monday 7:00 round in theater 3 to the Private Event info.

Showtime boards & recording updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes

Hi-Res: Trivia! This was a pretty simple set-up, just two cables mics and laptop audio. I did not know laptop audio was part of the show until close to the start, however — so there was a bit of a goose chase to find the missing cable. It all worked out, though (it was back under the curtain in theater 1 where the mics were). The plastic tub with mics and XLR cables is now stored in the Hi-Res storage closet. (the fader settings under the bench are also in a good place for future Trivia Nights)

Additional Notes: Don't forget that on Thursday, Us becomes "Now Playing," and can probably come down from the north side of the marquee (replaced with the four titles Matthew mentioned in the schedule update email)

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.
