Print/video Inspection: I checked the cues on reel 6 and 7 of Jackie Brown, and rewound reel 8. The cues on 6 were alright, but were drawn on both sides of the film--grease cues should only be drawn on the base side. Reel 7 had no cues, neither motor nor changeover, so I added them. Another thing to be aware of is placing the cue within the frame for 1.85 prints (if they are printed full frame). The cues on Jackie would have absolutely been visible on screen (except the one on reel 2), but it's best to draw the cue roughly one sprocket down on the right side of the frame, so it appears right at the top right corner of the screen.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Added events for the month of January.

Maintenance/cleaning: I checked out all four changeover mechanisms, they all looked fine. No wiring loose or out of place, nor were any in a position where they could be moved by the shutter opening/closing. Strange that one didn't open today, I hit the buttons several times and they never got stuck. Has anyone else had issues with changeover shutters lately?

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Checked the cues and schedule for tomorrow, they're all good.

On the template, I added something at the bottom of each sheet for us to initial and date when the cues and TMS schedule have been checked the night before. We used to have something like this on the cue sheets, and I think it's a good idea to bring it back.

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

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.
