Projection Admin 12/22 Lillian & Alec



To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Funny day wheelin n dealin with aspect ratio business (see notes below) but I spent a good amount of time resetting some of our main (but not often used) automation cues for the masking in T1 since some had been swapped since It's A Wonderful Life was not entirely flush. This looks a helluva lot better now and should be an excellent show. I went through the playlist and each automation cue for the masking and everything's looking real good. I also wound up adjusting the lamp's axis ever so slightly to make it more center. This helped a lot. 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): When Harry Met Sally ingested! 

Today we received the following prints: Sundays on Fire feature & The Godfather Pt.II

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Cobra got picked up today. 

Print/video Inspection: Ran The Wizard of Oz and Mean Streets with Desmond. Everything looked good. Volume noted. Note: Alec provided some info about this print in a previous blog, but just make sure that if you're projecting this you're using the 1.85 lenses. He put this info on the white card, so you shouldn't miss it, but it's one of those re-issued prints that's 1.37 in 1.85, so if you use the 1.37 lens, I can pretty much guarantee that you're gonna get a tiny lil box in the middle of the screen, so use 1.85. If you're curious as to why this is a thing, years n years ago (think 1980s) they started re-issuing prints like Wizard of Oz and Fantasia because multiplexes stopped using Academy lenses/plates. Bummer. I am going to spend a little more time making sure that the image looks super flush before the screening.  

I put the Wizard of Oz on house reels so it's ready to go when the time comes. 

I started inspecting The Godfather Pt.II. This can be worked on tonight. There's a lot of reels, so take your time. I've taken photos, which are on the drive, but we should take some more seeing as how there's still reels to inspect! 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes

Maintenance/cleaning: Alec came in this morning to change the out the speakers in T3! Thanks, Alec! 

I cleaned the projectors in T1 and am still working on this (spent time today cleaning all the lenses. 

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes! Double checked. 

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

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

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.
