Projection Report 8/23 (admin)



Presentation Issues: No issues. A few of our projectors are nearly at storage capacity (projector 2 was at 100% when I came in). Is it possible to delete a couple first run features from these servers to keep things running smoothly? (especially projector 3, which has a special event this week)

Preshow Clips/Playlist: changed Once Upon A Time from 35mm to DCP shows in the scheduler for the whole week (through Thursday), to account for our continuing circuit breaker troubles

** built and scheduled playlist for Tigers Are Not Afraid. We still need to grab the end credits offset.

*** deleted Hobbs & Shaw from our projectors

**** I did not realize that Angel Has Fallen has the generic action preshow assigned until after the first round began (playlist was built with generic horror). I made an 'Updated' playlist to fix this, and scheduled that through the week. Apologies for not catching this earlier in the day.

Trailer Updates: added the Adult trailer pack to Angel Has Fallen (it had the all ages pack built in)

Special Events/ AV set up: we had a staff screening of Angel Has Fallen in theater 3. I ran it from the A1 playlist — trailer pack looks good, feature runs fine. Volume sounded a little too loud, so I lowered it to 5.0.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): we received Blow-Up. Feature has been ingested to TMS. Still needs to be teched for end credits offset and volume.

** Brittany Runs A Marathon came through via Eclair. Feature has been ingested to TMS, also needs to be teched.

*** we were also able to successfully download the Brittany preshow from EVO. All three parts have been ingested to TMS.

**** left the "Art Seen" preshow to download from EVO to our portable drive

Outgoing/Shipping (content): carried our outgoing drives (including Hobbs & Shaw and The Kitchen) to the UPS drop

Print/video Inspection: both Blow-Up and Tigers Are Not Afraid are still locked. They will need to be QC'd once we get KDMs.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Checked and updated

Maintenance/cleaning: updated the dry erase board in booth 4/6

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): updated cue sheets for the weekend for the new Once Upon A Time format. Also checked cue sheets for tonight — did not spot any problems.

Marquee updated?: removed Hobbs & Shaw from the front side. Added Angel Has Fallen (thank you to whoever pulled those letters).

Posters updated?: outside I replaced Hobbs & Shaw with Angel Has Fallen, and removed The Kitchen (placed a coming soon Brittany Runs A Marathon in its spot). Put The Goldfinch up in the lobby as a coming soon,

Cleaning lights on for the night?: n/a

Projectors off for the night?: n/a

Projection cart by TH5?: Back in 3/7

Projection Admin 7/19

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.
