Projection Report 7/25 Close


Presentation Issues: Our first 35mm show of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood started 5 minutes late because of a platter issue. We ran the print reel-to-reel and the show went mostly fine. Cleaning lights came up towards the end because Dan turned the automation console on. This was not intentional and I was right there to turn them back off immediately. For regular shows this console will always be on so the cleaning lights will not be triggered at any point during the film. The focus was tricky with projector #2. I was trying to get it to focus throughout the whole show but there was always a part of the screen that remained soft. I find that the best way to get a good focus with the scope lens on this projector is to run test film before the screening, which there was absolutely no time to do today. This will not present an issue for future screenings since we are running the whole film on one projector (Projector #1) which does not have the focusing issue. Second show ran on the platter without issue.

**Last two foil tape cues worked like a charm**

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates: None

Special Events/ AV set up: 35mm Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in theater 1. See above.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): None

Ordering/Receiving (content): None

Outgoing/Shipping (content): None

Print/video Inspection: None

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Up to date

Maintenance/cleaning: I poked my head into every theater and booth once the second 35mm show was well under way. Only thing I noticed was that the DCP scope macro is shifted to the left slightly in theater 4.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes, no updates tonight and checked for tomorrow against the TMS scheduler and Matthew's film schedule. Credit time for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is most likely going to change however. Right now it is only 1 minute (based on the timecode given by the studio) but the cue will be adjusted to bring the lights up earlier since the credits are actually longer.

Marquee updated?: Marquee needs to be updated, however I am not going to be able to leave booth 1 for long enough to change it. Dylan P, please see Dylan S's notes from today.

Posters updated?: Same as above

Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes

Projectors off for the night?: Yes

Projection cart by TH5?: Yes

Nest:

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

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.
