NPP Production Blog CLOSE, 12/20 Karen



Presentation Issues:
-At the beginning of the dinner round Star Wars movie, there was a lighting cue misfire where the house lights came up a few minutes into the feature but they were brought back down quickly and the cue was fixed in the playlist before any other showings.
-During the last round of Knives Out in TH4, the lamp went out on the projector. I cycled power through the VNC and turned the lamp back on and opened the dowser. This solved it. The playlist was still playing and there was still sound coming through, once I got the lamp back on, I backed up the playlist a few minutes and restarted it. This all took about 2 minutes.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:
-Made the Little Women DCP playlist and scheduled it.

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.
