Projection Open 12/29

Hey, everyone! First day back. I have some goodies I forgot to bring in today, so keep an eye out for them tomorrow. Thanks, y'all, for holding down the fort. Seems like things have been quiet around here...I've been reading the blogs and as far as T2 goes, I'll be changing the bulb tomorrow. The booth temperatures are good for now. Just to remind folks--the schedule for the month of January has been posted, so please plan accordingly for time off requests, shift swaps, etc. 


To do this evening/ was completed: I tried to organize myself a little bit more over the holiday break and found some old notes on resizing Scope letterboxed files within 1.78 in DCP-o-matic. I'll be adding this to the manual. 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Chair got taken out for accessibility. Put it back safe n sound. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): I checked out the new Shure mixer for T3 and the power plug it came with is a Euro-type, so I reached out to the seller contact to see if we could exchange the plug since working with adapters can make connections a little iffy. In the meantime, we can use part of the AC/DC power cord that we use for CRU drives!

Outgoing/Shipping (content): I'll be bringing the CRU drives of Bones & All and White Noise to the post office this evening. 

Print/video Inspection: Phantom Thread should be showing up either Sunday or Monday. I'll try to confirm with John. 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Tracking info is up to date. 

Maintenance/cleaning: 

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Couple of tight turnarounds today, but nothing huge. Keep an eye out for manual starts. 

Marquee updated?: Phantom Thread letters can go up tonight or tomorrow. 

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

Additional Notes:

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.
