Projection Report 3/11 Close

To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: Final round in theater 7 began with sound, but no picture, at the start of the feature CPL (closing and reopening the dowser fixed this); MOD called and asked me to start the feature file over from the beginning -- roughly 8 minutes had elapsed in darkness

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Alec asked me to test the cable TV connection to theater 1 during a flip this evening and, despite my best efforts to troubleshoot the issue, I could not get picture or sound up on screen from the cable box in 4/6 (which was displaying programming from ABC with no issue); I cycled between the DCP Flat and Blu-Ray ZOOM lens macros to see if the image wasn't just delayed in getting to the projector through the HDMI/ethernet cables, disconnected and reconnected all inputs to the AJA and ethernet port in the booth, disconnected and reconnected power to the booth AJA device, and still could not get any image or sound to run through the projector in theater 1

DJ setup at trees Lounge was broken down and returned to its storage space beneath the mezzanine steps

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.
