NPP Projection Report, 12/25 xmas open + close, Michael



Presentation Issues: None

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Finalized Little Women playlist with volume and lighting cues. Deleted old playlists and pack from the multiplex.

*Made a playlist for Hook. I added some things to the preshow to give it roughly 40 minutes before feature. This will obviously need to be teched on Friday and have volume/light cues added.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Uploaded keys for Knives Out and Hook. Ingested Hook to TMS/Th2, keys open Friday at 6pm.

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Deleted Parasite and Queen and Slim from the multiplex, including preshows.

Print/video Inspection: Teched Little Women DCP first thing. LW 35mm platter is ready to go, added foil cues to the start of credits and end of show. Added some blank leader to the end.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: yes

Maintenance/cleaning: Straightened up booth 1 once I was done plattering.

*Worked for a long while on the new platter system in 4. It's functioning now, but there are some serious kinks to work out. Feel free to play with it but don't run anything through there you really care about. It operates a little differently than the one downstairs. You can find the manual here: http://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/manuals/POTTS.pdf. I moved some things around in 4/6 to accommodate the makeup table.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Updated through next Thursday w/ LW credit times, except for 35mm screenings, in case there is a difference. Double checked sheet for tomorrow.

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projectors off for the night?:

Projection cart by TH5?:

Nest: Put the yule log up on the projection screen. Because it's Christmas, damnit.

Additional Notes: Filed the sides of the 1.85 aperture plate for projector 1 in booth 1. Sides look good now, top and bottom still have spillage but the window tape corrects for that. It's a good habit to take those things out and blow any dust off before each show - seems like dust has a tendency to stick to the inside edges of those plates. Shutter timing looked okay to me.

*Cleaned the Splycemar splicer in booth 1. It's still a little sticky but has a bit more pep now. The one in 4/6 works much better.

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.
