NPP Projection Report 11/9 Close, Daniel

Presentation Issues: During the end credits of the 3:30 Marriage Story, the tail came loose and caused the film to spaghetti on the platter. I was able to keep it going through most of the credits without any problem, but eventually the film got caught in the gate. I immediately closed the dowser and brought up the lights, ending the show about 20 seconds early. (Most of the audience had already left.) But because of this, the last 20 seconds of film got a bit damaged.

I watched the credits closely for the next two rounds, and both times these last 20 seconds again got caught in the gate. It seems to me that we may need to cut out a few frames at the end so the film can run smoothly from now on.

Based on what I saw tonight, I just want to mention that the tail does not finish running through the gate, so immediately after muting the processor, I would run back and close the dowser.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: I noticed one of the large green guide rollers (right above projector 1) was at an odd angle that was causing the film to slip out. I don't think this had anything to do with the issue above, but I re-positioned it so the film can run a little smoother now. Also wiped down the film path and all the guide rollers at the end of the night.

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. Transferred Marvels content to T6, as it was missing from the server due to the 1:20 tomorrow being a manual start.
