Projection Close 6/8



To do this evening/ was completed: Jared radioed me around 11pm tonight because we got an email this evening (that I asked him to pass onto us) in which a customer detailed something strange they saw Friday night, during the dinner round of Furiosa in T3. "We saw Furiosa last night in Theater 3 (I think) and there was a big ol line vertical of burnt, or off looking pixels down the screen just right of center. Not sure if it was the projector or surface but it was distracting and bit frustrating to shell out for a ticket and have that happen." 
I went in there this evening to first check on the film that was already playing and then, despite the fact that they describe it as an issue with the image/projector lens, I had a look up in the landing area by the port glass to see if anything was out of place. After final round I went in there to test the DCP/test pattern and honestly, at one point I just thought "are they talking about the seam in the screen?" because yes, it is noticeable, and it is noticeable in other theatres where there's a shorter throw, but it's not burnt pixels and I'm certain this is what they were referring to as it's just right of center. Trying to upload a photo but my phone isn't allowing me to...
I let Jared know and he had the same theory.

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.
