NPP Projection Blog ADMIN/OPEN 1/8 Karen


Presentation Issues:
-There were no presentation issues

Preshow Clips/Playlist:
- I had Chris build the "Just Mercy" playlist. It is currently missing the Jan B card and the feature.

Trailer Updates:
-We got a new trailmix today so I pulled the latest 'A Quiet Place 2' trailer.

Special Events/ AV set up:
-Teched TH1 for Spoons, Toons, & Booze tomorrow. Our poor little projection laptop is indeed on its way out. We noticed a lot of white crackle on the screen and we would intermittently lose picture. I replaced our laptop with an MOD's laptop and that worked fine.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):
-We received Dolittle posters today but it has been unbooked, officially.

Ordering/Receiving (content):
-Pulled the 1917 preshow from EVO and left it for Erin to ingest and tech. Pulled the Jan B card as well.
-Ingested keys for Parasite (good until 2/13) and Matilda (live on 1/10 @ 1800, good until 5/2)
-We received the Selena and the Matilda DCP's (Please keep the Matilda DCP drive after the weekend, I have had several staff ask to screen it and the keys don't open in time for this week's staff screening, but stay good for a while)

*As soon as Citizen Kane comes off, ingest 1917, Just Mercy, and Matilda. After the weekend (and we lose Matilda) ingest Selena.
**We are only on the lookout for 'Just Mercy' keys now.

Additional Notes:
-Chris was in today to train. I showed him every aspect of setting up for Spoons, Toons, & Booze: light board, laptop set up and mini-mixer/mic set up. We also went over how to build a playlist, how to make changes within a playlist already built, how to read the trailer assignment, and how to do cue sheets, also how to look for and pull content from EVO and ingest content into the TMS. I also had him download kdm from the email account and ingest it into TMS. He did the pre-opening theater checks and opened the theater. Then I had him shadow on setting up Little Women 35 mm again.

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.
