Everyone was welcomed to our temporary meeting location.

The show reports for week 1 were discussed.


3. Technical Officer’s Report (absent)

a. Following tech session on Sunday, it has been suggested that the
flicker shutter may need to be replaced as it is quite bent.

b. Need a stethoscope or sacrificial small hands to check where
squeaking noise on P2 is coming from.


4. AllNighter Projection Arrangements

a. 1st and 3rd films to be played from platter, 2nd film to be played
from 6000s.

b. Tim G will put a table up on whiteboard in proj box to keep track
of who is projecting which film and the films statuses.

c. Nikita S has preliminarily signed up to project TTT on Friday,
Rachel and Matt B will proj TFotR and TRotK between them
(preferably in the correct order...)

d. Rob G will project TFotR on Saturday.

e. Tim G may fiddle with Ads + Trailers reel to make them more
interesting, may show some other random stuff during film.


5. Use of Film Tracker

a. It was suggested to projectionists to use this more (or to start
to use it) even if it just to say whether it has been returned to
the dump (for the Films Officer’s sake).


6. Training

a. Yeng’s Snaps test - not enough projs are free to do a snaps test
on weekend of 14th May. Nor are enough free to do a snaps test on
Wednesday 12th May.

b. We will try to organise Snaps tests at next meeting - but this is
generally not good considering we need to get through quite a few
Snaps tests this term.


7. Time and Date of next meeting

The next meeting will take place at 18:10 in SSL on Monday 9/5/11


8. AOB’s

a. Tim G inquired when “Uncle Boonmee” would be ready to be returned,
and the answer was later tonight!

b. Following the Chief Proj’s ranty email (which happened to be
directed at the wrong people by the way), it was pointed out to
him that he had forgotten to switch back to P1 after watching Dr.
Who on Saturday.

c. It was mentioned that some of the font used on some of the Data
projector slides is of poor choice (is not very clear) – however
this is an AllNighter slide and so will not be on for much longer.

d. The new marketing video has a poor frame rate, so Tim G will write
an email to the IT Officer requesting that he resolve this problem.

e. It was requested that we get NEW APERTURE PLATES CUT.

f. It was requested that we get the CLUTCH PLATES FIXED.

g. An Out Door Screening Tech Meeting will be happening at roughly
5pm tomorrow on Tocil Field.

a. Omar A has signed up to Proj The Next Three Days on Wednesday
4/5/11.

b. Rob G has signed up to Proj Somewhere on Thursday 5/5/11, but
