Without Name
Robert and Neil
Emergency lights came on for around 90s

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Early)
Rachel and Robert Maas
Emergency lights came on again

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Late)
Alex and Iain
Missed first cue dots on first c/o. Downed and muted, then panicked and changed over to the wrong projector multiple times. Final changeover had foot on screen, as Iain didn't know how to react to second cue dots.

Iain did all the changeovers as there were only four reels (12) (34) (56) and 7, and I wanted to give him the most practice I could. The Breeze has advised me to demonstrate the first changeover to the trainee in future, which sounds like a better plan as he had yet to see a cue dot before the film.

American Psycho
Fergus and Tim G.
Shutdown to allow large audience in
The arm for the bottom drive sprocket was not down enough causing a loud noise. Fergus fixed this by taking it apart and then reassembling it again.

Inception (Early)
Tim K Qualification show.
Tim passed.
No projection problems but centre sub was making a strange sound.

Inception (Late)
Mat Breeze and Tristan
Played at 5.9 instead of 6.0 to lessen the strange sound.
