Projection Admin 5/13



To do this evening/ was completed: Realized my blog didn't post from last night, so I'll also be recapping here. 
Last night, we almost had a presentation issue - the server went down towards the end of the fourth round in T6 as waitstaff radioed me for cleaning lights during credits. I restarted the projector, which as per usual did the trick, and got the final round back up and running for preshow (8 minutes into preshow, not a huge loss). Emailed DMS. Went down the Google/film tech forum rabbit hole for potential answers. 
*DMS emailed us back today - they've ordered a replacement part as per their theory of a failing OS disk/disk corruption, a procedure of which we recently had done in T2, if you recall. This all makes sense.  For the dowser issues in T1, I pulled logs/systems report(s) and passed them on to Chris. The log from the christie I haven't pulled yet, which I've shown Will how to do. If there's any issue, we can send this to them tomorrow. 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Deleted the Mamma Mia playlist (along with other content we don't need) from this weekend. 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Star Trek DCP is transcoding in T1. Will need another day to finish. 

Wedding video for the private rental on 5/18 looks/sounds great in T3. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested new KMDs for Carrie and Civil War

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Pope of Greenwich fully inspected - print report available/pics up on the drive for Conrad. 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: Noticed when running loops today that on P2, the light distribution was massively off, eclipsing the second half of the screen. Before adjusting the turret, I checked 1.85 to see if there was a change and the issue was still there, so I adjusted the turret and when that didn't help, I decided to peer inside the the lamp house and through to where the shutter is. The c/o mechanism hadn't fully opened the top bit of its shutter. Ran loops again after fixing and that did the trick. Amazing Spiderman 2 ready to go this eve. 

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

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

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.
