NPP Projection Report 11/22 Admin, Alec


Presentation Issues: No issues.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: We are now scheduling a "first round bumper" which a four-minute playlist scheduled 5 minutes before the first show of the day in each theater. Since we are scheduling a separate playlist, there is about 45 seconds with nothing on screen as the server switches the playlists. We are trying to figure out a more seamless way of executing this, but this is how it will be for now, just in case there are any questions.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Went through the NSF Vimeo playlist with the mic setup in Theater 3. Should be all set for tomorrow. I wasn't able to fully resolve the masking issue, however. My first instinct was to get the ladder and move the masking by hand and reset the pre-sets (which was probably wrong). I spent a while playing with it but no matter what I did I either could not get it to come in all the way to 1.33 with the motor or it would not open enough for even 1.85 with the motor. When I tried pressing #4 the curtain started coming off of the tracking and I had to fix it. As it is now, the 1.85 and scope presets are working, with the third preset as far in as I could get it with the motor (not quite 1.33 but a little past 1.66). By the time I had the curtain all back up and the main two presets correct the theater was about to open. I think I can figure this out once and for all during my next admin.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordered posters for Little Women.

Ordering/Receiving (content): Drives for Queen & Slim, Christmas Vacation, and Krisha arrived. I have NOT ingested these as we are being more conscientious about using up space on the server. I tested all the drives in the drive bay and they all mounted properly.

-Since it's no longer the protocol to ingest features as soon as we receive them, I labelled each drive with the date it should be ingested on or if it is already on the TMS.

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

NPP Projection 11/17 Close

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.
