Projection Report 10/22 Admin/Open



Presentation Issues: No presentation issues first round.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: n/a

Trailer Updates: n/a

Special Events/ AV set up: I walked Erin and Dylan through setting up the mini-mixer in TH3 since I had already set it up yesterday before BHFF and we left it set up for tonight. Mics are tested and they are good to go.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): We got more Marriage Story posters.

Ordering/Receiving (content): The Lighthouse has come in and been ingested. FYI, apparently, Eclair has a handy fail-safe that doesn't let you see any of your content if you don't take all the files. Originally, I ingested only the CC file since it was the OV file and left the OC (VF file) and the movie wasn't showing up in TMS until we went back and grabbed all the files.


Outgoing/Shipping (content): n/a

Print/video Inspection: Teched and did the run of show of Vincent Price with Caryn. Teched 5.1 playlists with Kris, he is going to tweak them a bit so for now we are to keep using all old playlists until we hear differently.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: yes for Usher and Lighthouse

Maintenance/cleaning:n/a

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): today's scheduler and cue sheet double checked. Erin is going to build Fri-Sun cue sheets tonight.

Marquee updated?: n/a

Posters updated?: n/a

Cleaning lights on for the night?: n/a

Projectors off for the night?: n/a

Projection cart by TH5?: back in 3/7 There is a large dolby box and UPS envelope for John Woods.
Nest:

Additional Notes: We had a lot of problems with the network today. TMS froze up again and needed a hard reboot from the main frame in booth 4/6. By my count that is 3 times in a week that TMS needed a hard reboot. Should we investigate? Also google was down (emails, drive access, etc) for most of the day. Splashtop also went down and I had to reboot the streamer on the projection mac.

From the FOH management staff: from now on, when we get a customer complaint about volume, we are to check it out for ourselves and make the call on whether or not we should adjust it. In other words, the projectionist has final say on volume and we are not to willy nilly change it blindly at every customer request.

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.
