Projection Report 11/21 Close



Presentation Issues: There were no presentation issues.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: 
*Built a "lights up" Lighthouse playlist for the weekend to accommodate tight turnaround times. It is named A2_LTSUP_Lighthouse112219  The times to use this playlist are written on the whiteboard, and was emailed out to everyone by Ryan.
*Finished building the vimeo playlist with all cues and interstitials. Alec, you will need to manually advance/maybe pause the second half of this show between every element.
*Made playlists for Krisha, Celebration, Christmas Vacation

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: 
*Depeche Mode and the Video DJ in high-res afterwards all went very smoothly. Also made me feel pretty old.
*For the Vimeo NSF Awards event, I am assuming that we are bringing in the portable PA speakers (and stands) that live in the mezz closet and we will run all wired mics/mini mixer to those?

Alec, do you want to look over the event memo tomorrow and through the playlist? While this certainly won't be difficult for you, it will require all your attention throughout. Would you like some projection support through this event? I could probably come by for a couple of hours on Sat morning. Also, when comparing the event memo to the playlist, keep in mind that the macro names are different at Williamsburg, and they are using Williamsburg terms, so, for instance "lights mid" throughout the live commentary is equivalent to our "lights up".
**Also, "End of Tunnel" is 1.33. Tomorrow is the day to figure out that weird masking issue that Alec reported of it not even going past 1.78 anymore

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content):
I did NOT ingest the new TMS keys tonight.

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection:
*Inspected the entire NSFAwards Vimeo playlist, ran all cues and played all shorts all the way through. I think 3.0 is an ok volume for the live commentary portion of the program. The volume will have to be manually turned down from the booth if they think that it is too loud during the event.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning:
I took Knives Out, Nightmare on Elm St, and Depeche Mode off the server in the interest of freeing up some space (only got us down to 87%). After Vimeo on Saturday morning, we can put these back on. Like-wise let's hold off on ingesting Queen and Krisha. I also took the features out of the playlists because when we took Depeche Mode off after building the playlist, I found I had to delete it and reattach it to the playlist after I re-ingested it.

A suggested ingest schedule over the weekend could be:
Saturday (after deleting all the shorts) ingest Elm St
Sunday (after deleting Hala) ingest Krisha
Monday night (after deleting Elm St) ingest Knives & Queen/Slim
-It's nice to have everything on but I feel we should be a little more thoughtful about it when we are pushing the space on our server and I have been noticing TMS being more sluggish and needing reboots more often. We will still have everything on even before we have live keys for them.
(Pre-building the playlists as soon as we have Kris' list and the content, is still a great idea, however)

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): 
*Finished the cue sheet review meeting with Ryan. The MOD has requested that we list our preshow start time at when they would expect the doors to open. So, if we are doing the 4 minute welcome bumper at the start of each day, we should list the pre-show start time at 5 minutes earlier than our actual movie playlist starts. I have already done this for tomorrow. We haven't scheduled out the first round 5 min bumper beyond friday yet, when we do, please be sure to update the cue sheets accordingly.

Marquee updated?: no need thanks to Michael :-)

Posters updated?: n/a

Cleaning lights on for the night?: yes

Projectors off for the night?: yes

Projection cart by TH5?: yes

Nest:

Additional Notes:
*Posted first week of December projection schedule. The rest of the year is in schedulefly and will be published as soon as I am given the green light.

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.
