To do this evening/ was completed: Yes

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: The Cruel Intentions show went great! We only cut about 6 minutes into the preshow because of the tech, but the show itself was terrific. We had to make a little adjustment when the performers wanted to be on mic before the bow music, but it was handled swiftly! 

Apart from one really unfortunate thing that happened specifically to me during the tech. More on that below! 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content):

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: I was able to download With the Fishes short through my personal computer, Airdropped it to the Projection iMac, converted it to a DCP, and ingested it onto the server. 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes

Maintenance/cleaning: When I first came in today, I had trouble taking my key out of the Theater 4/6 door lock, but I eventually did. So I chalked it up to a hiccup with me opening the door. 

However, during the tech for Cruel Intentions, I had some trouble opening the Projection Booth door in Theater 2. In the process my key snapped off in the lock. Thankfully I was able to get the broken part out of the door. But I'm still going to need a new key. Sorry everyone! 

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Cue sheets for this week are filled out apart from Cocaine Bear and the other events.

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.
