Projection Admin 7/17



To do this evening/ was completed: (I'm here late to get my eyes on Twister) 

Hey projectionists. Tomorrow morning, Oppenheimer will be delivered. Safe to say, this is going to be an insanely busy time. The next few weeks are going to be pretty mad, but we're going to do great. Matthew sent out the film schedule today, detailing the changes Oppenheimer will bring. As back up, we will be running a DCP of Oppenheimer whilst the print runs. We'll detail this more formally in a separate email (along with other housekeeping notes on Oppenheimer 35 shows ~ I'm writing up some of this in a doc. i.e before and after cleaning procedures plus how to take care of ourselves and respond to others whilst working). 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Tech'd all of the Oppenheimer/Barbie preshow content. UPDATE: I reached out to Kat this morning with a few q's about the Oppenheimer preshow, turns out she was uploading a new set. I have downloaded and ingested both! Thanks, Kat. We will need to properly tech these tomorrow. 

I rebuilt the Oppenheimer playlists for Digital Shows and built the playlist for 35mm (preshow/trailers) - I might update this tomorrow after some tests with cues. Stay tuned. Everything is updated with new preshow/forecasts. 

Trailer packs have been double checked and adjusted with the correct volume. 

Made and ingested the DCP for the Runaway slide for Cristina. 

Downloaded and ingested the following:
TLR_NPP_FORECAST_0721A 
TLR_NPP_FORECAST_0721B 
TLR_NPP_TheIsland
TLR_NPP_Lethal Weapon 4

Trailer Updates: Tech'd a lot of trailers today, double checked volume for: Poor Things, Paw Patrol, Trolls, Bottoms, The Meg 2. 

Special Events/ AV set up: Desmond and I went over the last short film for NoBudge (A Folded Ocean, the one we previously had issues with) and I adjusted the volume for it. We looked over the slide, too. Everything's set for this evening. I went through the playlist this morning to make sure it all looked right and tested all wireless microphones to make sure they're working properly. 

Before changing the lens/plate to Scope in T1 for this evening, I ran a bit of the Truman Show for Desmond, got volume. It's on the white card attached to the first reel, as per usual. I'd like to go over masking this week since I noticed a few bits n bobs needed to be adjusted. 
Changed back to scope, ran lops after teching Truman. We're all set for Twister tonight. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content):

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: See notes above for Truman Show. 

Put the Time Cop trailer on a house reel for next week. Ran it and got a volume I think is rather reasonable, but this can get tech'd again with someone actually in the room since I was using my booth ears to judge by way of the monitor. This is in 4/6. 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes. Added info for The Mist (not yet live). 

Maintenance/cleaning: Will is cleaning the projectors and making the rounds. 

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes. Adjusted NoBudge before opening today. 

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

Projection Admin 7/19

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.
