Projection Report 9/19 (close)



Presentation Issues: The fire alarm went off this evening, so I had to go from booth to booth resetting the lighting panels. There was an issue with the panel in 3/7, which wouldn't allow me to turn off the lighting override. Finally I called Michael, who was incredibly helpful as always, and advised me to flip all the breakers labeled "rack." I did this, and regained control of the lighting panel without interrupting playback (which was my fear). We cut significantly into the following preshows, and I ran trailers with the lights up.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Night Gallery finished copying over.

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): I added new credits/end times to the cue sheets after the fire alarm. Also double checked everything for tomorrow - all set.

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:

Additional Notes: I spent some time creating a step-by-step description for exactly what to do when the fire alarm is triggered. Something like this might already exist, but I couldn't find it in the projection manual and thought it would be a helpful thing to have (if only to solidify this information for myself). I noticed tonight that the process was slightly different from last time, so I noted what to do if certain things don't work right away. The document is called "Fire Alarm Instructions" and saved on the desktop in 4/6. Feel free to modify/add to it if anybody has any other information that could be helpful.

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

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.
