Projection Report 7/4 Close


Presentation Issues: None tonight

*Responding to Dylan's note from Tuesday (7/2) about Theater 2's server cueing up the playlist but getting stuck on pause; I've seen this happen a few times and only in theater 2. This started happening after Billy added a GPI to all the servers which I believe was to make it so the multiple automation cues at the start of shows fired in succession instead of all at once or too close together, and a part of this function (I believe) was pausing the playlist at the start before the cues fired. This doesn't prevent the playlist from starting properly (the vast majority of the time), so I'm not sure why the playlist sometimes doesn't start itself in 2. It seems to happen completely randomly and after long intervals. I mentioned this in a blog all the way back in January (1/17) and March (3/13).

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.
