Projection report, 3/24 PM



Presentation Issues: None. Nice work this weekend y'all! I think it was the busiest one yet for them.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Added "A1_Us_plus10mins" and "A1_Us_plus15mins" to screens 1-3. Dropped these in the schedule tomorrow wherever it made sense.

Created a playlist for In Bruges.

Updated playlist for Don't Break Down with credits lighting cue, added pause to Q+A slide.

Started a playlist for Bloodbath - still waiting on confirmation from Caryn about run of show. Made a Midnite trailer pack - not sure if this will get reused but there it is.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: I called in a favor to borrow a functional PA amp for STB this morning. The one we had for Saturday was barely able to get loud enough, and started clipping/cutting out toward the end of the show. Just couldn't get enough juice out of the old gal. We should definitely get something beefier for the future.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Pulp Fiction DCP is in the works, should be here by Tuesday.

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Spot checked "Bloodbath," "Ovum," and "Fresh Blood." Bloodbath has a 1.66 aspect ratio, FYI. Would be nice to make a masking setting in TH3 for this, if possible, but we'd need to get DMS to make us another cue.

QC'ed In Bruges DCP.

Distro Doc updated/checked?: yes

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated (only if needed): Updated credits start times for Don't Break Down and In Bruges tomorrow evening.

Showtime boards & recording updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night? :

Lo-Res :

Additional Notes: I fixed the automation cues for switching to bluray/HDMI input on the servers. They should work from the TMS macro execution now (proj HDMI 1.78/1.85/2.39 cues).

The Samsung blu ray players, as you may know, aren't great for presentation - some discs won't stay paused, others revert to a screen saver (and I can't see any way to turn this off), so transitioning to a bluray is hard to do cleanly in these theaters. Hopefully we don't have too many of them.

ALSO I made a spreadsheet for supply ordering, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ogx4GJssYFbk5chdrUccQcEB8lriDKF3uTyStCswDuA/edit#gid=0, please put things we need in here! Don't worry about a link too much if it's something basic.

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.
