Projection report 8/27 (close)



Presentation Issues: None. A few manual starts but otherwise a fairly uneventful night.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: TMS went into a kind of trance around 10:30 where it seemed to think that all of the projectors (and the scheduler ... and the playlist builder ...) were offline. None of the projectors were actually off and no shows were affected. I do not know why this would have happened. (see my e-mail)
.... however towards the end of the night I rebooted the computer in the rack and everything seems to be working normally again.

** deleted Midsommar from projectors 4 and 5 towards the end of the night ... before realizing that we are bringing back Midsommar on Friday. My mistake, apologies. This will need to be sent back out before Friday.

*** left the Midsommar preshow to download from EVO to our portable drive overnight — if it goes through, it should be good to ingest to TMS tomorrow morning

Trailer Updates: Grabbed the Ad Astra trailer from Trailmix, sent it to all projectors. Still waiting on the latest Sept Card update to load to EVO for playlist updates. (no new Star Wars trailer on our current Trailmix)

** built an '083019' Adult Trailer Pack. (The All Ages pack has no changes for this coming week — feel free to copy and rename it if you prefer) This can be added into the new playlists.

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): still waiting on Dirty Dancing for the weekend

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Checked

Maintenance/cleaning: at the end of the night I noticed a 'critical error' on projector 2 (related to LampLOC). Error was acknowledged, projector has been powered down.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): there was a small problem on the cue sheet for tonight that we fixed soon after I came in. I did not have a chance to check tomorrow's cue sheet before the scheduler went blank (see above)

Marquee updated?: up to date

Posters updated?: I noticed that the Ready Or Not poster was a little lopsided so I went up on the ladder and fixed it (also put in a less-melted Now Showing snipe)

Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes

Projectors off for the night?: Yes

Projection cart by TH5?: Yes

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.
