NPP Projection Blog, OPEN 12/20 Michael



Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Finalized It's a Wonderful Life for brunches this weekend. I added 10 minutes of generic preshow to the beginning to give it an even 40 minutes before the feature starts, just for continuity.

* I made a scope version of "Hey Kids" PSA, and dropped it into the all ages playlists. I removed all redundant scope lens/masking cues from every playlist with a scope feature.

** Made trailer packs for 12/25 (scope/flat, adults/all ages). Will need to tech those for volume cues at some point.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Set 1.33 masking in theater 3 for brunch shows this weekend.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested Little Women to TMS. Began copying LW preshow files to the external drive from EVO. We appear to have everything else we need for the next two weeks.

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Checked IaWL in TH3. Looks great, 1.33 with mono soundtrack.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: yes

Maintenance/cleaning: Started cleaning out projector 2 in theater 6.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Checked cue sheets for today through Sunday. Had a few booboos here and there, but everything looks good now. Bombshell playlist is also a few minutes longer than the cue sheets had it, so I went through the sheets through Tuesday and adjusted end times to compensate.

* Started cue sheets for 12/28-1/2, added titles and showtimes.

Marquee updated?: n/a

Posters updated?: n/a

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projectors off for the night?:

Projection cart by TH5?:

Nest:

Additional Notes: Scheduled shows through 12/24.

* Dan from DMS will be at the theater tomorrow morning to work on the 35mm projectors in 4 and 6.

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.
