Projection Close 5/25



To do this evening/ was completed: T4 gave us quite the headache tonight. 

Emailed everyone about this, but putting it here too. T4 light started flickering again in T4 during the penultimate round. Did quite a bit of troubleshooting from the booth to remedy the situation to no avail. Got the ladder and cut the LEDs as we previously did in T2, but I couldn't remember (neither could Alec) the exact protocol for the wires as there's loads of them ad each ceiling light has its own electrical box, essentially. Tried putting the port glass cloth up there as well as garbage bags but it was too tough, so we just left it and, to my delight, the light stayed put for a little while. I texted/called Vlad to make sure we can get him in here as soon as possible. Despite everything, a lot of folks chose to stay for the final screening, too, which turned out well. 

Presentation Issues: Other than what happened in T4 we had no issues. 

Kept an eye on the Williamsburg splashtop. Ariel and I checked in with one another.

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. Transferred Marvels content to T6, as it was missing from the server due to the 1:20 tomorrow being a manual start.
