NPP Projection Report 9/20 Close

To do this evening/ was completed: I sent an email to everyone, but part of the agreement we have with Sony is that we will send them an inspection report of any of their prints before we screen them. This has been a requirement for a while, but we've started missing them again. I sent Ghosts of Mars tonight. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled Bullet for tomorrow. Built 9/25 A1 playlists. I did not make new versions of Odyssey , Miasma , Tony , or Paw Patrol . It looks like these will final on Wednesday. Also, preshow and trailers have not been assigned yet for the three movies opening on the 25th, so those playlists can get built once that comes through. I went back to the usual lights down placement for these, on the Welcome snipe, just FYI. I also built Forbidden Planet and Juice . Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Perfume is on house reels. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): One of the Gotham sh...

To do this evening/ was completed: There is another marquee rental that needs to go up tonight and remain up through Monday. I got the letters out minus one "Y." The current rental is using two "Y"s, so one of those can be used. The current one needs to stay up until 10pm. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Above the Rim went nicely. I rewound it back onto the shipping reels and packed it away. Scope lenses and plates are in for tomorrow. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): I downloaded Lithium Rising (private event 9/23) from YouTube and converted to DCP. Ingested to the LMS and Theater 3. Host for the 10/3 private event dropped off their blu-ray of Newsies which is currently converting down in T1, finishing onto George Ivan.

Projection Admin 9/17***

To do this evening/ was completed: Childhood Delusions tonight! Went over the game plan with Will and Cristina. Info below.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Resident Evil has been teched.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Noticed when setting up for the DJ tonight (doesn't happen until much later though) that the mixer was gone, so I reached out to John and they brought it over. Will is gonna hook up the rest of it but I got everything else setup down there, so it's just the mixer.  Both playlists were adjusted and tested, cue sheets updated too and made sure that MOD was aware and printed out the correct version. We pushed back the intro time in T2 so Will has more wiggle room to get there. The spots/wash info are written on white cards and taped above the port glass in both projection booths. The laptop is hooked up to T2 for the Spotify playlist (which I tested in both theatres). The cord in T1 for Spotify is hooked up to the iMac, all ready to ...
