Projection Report 8/5 (close)



Presentation Issues: When I first came in, I turned on the breaker switch to the 35mm projector in theater 1 to start threading up the Hollywood print, which triggered the house lights to come on during The Lion King. This was due to my lack of familiarity with the start-up procedure for the 35mm machines, and I apologize. This was my first shift running public Hollywood shows, and I had never turned on the breaker switches myself (during a screening or otherwise) and did not fully understand the connection between the breaker and the cues. Regardless, I am sorry for disrupting the show, and will be more careful in the future.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates: none tonight — waiting on new trailer assignments for Friday onwards

Special Events/ AV set up: HOLLYWOOD 35mm screenings. Print ran great both times. That new bottom roller works like a charm.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): neither a poster or trailer, but we received a package from QSC (and a smaller one from Amazon) addressed to Michael. Both have been moved to booth 4/6.

Ordering/Receiving (content): do we have an eta on NEVER FEAR? We don't seem to have feature content for the show on Thursday yet.

Outgoing/Shipping (content): packed up the drive for West Side Story, put it on the outgoing shelf

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Checked

Maintenance/cleaning: Wiped down the projector and rollers after the 35mm shows. Projector has been powered down. note: I left the program button off to help prevent the cleaning lights being set off again.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Began building out the cue sheets for next week — filled in all start times through Thursday. Checked today's cues, too — all good for the night.

Marquee updated?: up to date

Posters updated?: up to date

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

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.
