Projection Admin 7/27



To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled all of the TMS (apart from The Meg) for the week of 7/28 - 8/3. 

Presentation Issues: Spent almost the entire morning figuring out why the hdmi connection wouldn't work in T2 for Shouting at the Screen this morning. I tried just about everything under the sun, including different settings on the projector, adapters, Ajas, cables, etc. Eventually, when I finally got both T1 Aja's situated in the T2 booth/auditorium, we were already opening., so I wasn't able to try that last option. I decided to make a video (that is now a DCP) of the PowerPoint presentation, exporting it out with each slide getting 6 seconds of time before it advances to the next, so we'll be able to pause on each slide. Hosts can still cue us as we'll be able to hear them in the booth. DCP is in the playlist. Will and Cristina are aware. 

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Got volume and double checked credits info for Talk To Me, which sounds much louder at 5.0 in a smaller auditorium, but some of the overall dialogue is quiet. Loud music/not as loud dialogue. 
Staff screening was a good test run today. 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Set up the PA ~ external speakers/tripod stands, mixer. Set up the xlrs, leaving the cables connected to the mixer and strung along the bannister. Microphones are off to the side on the stage, ready to get plugged in once the hosts are ready. 
I set the volume of Black Samson to 4.0, which seems like a good volume for the event. 

Threaded up and started the run of our last 35mm show of Oppenheimer in T1. I'll miss having it in there.

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

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.
