NPP Projection Blog OPEN 1/5 Karen



Presentation Issues:
-There were no presentation issues. The curtains in TH1 were open to scope when I came in this morning (which they shouldn't be. I made some changes to the playlists before we opened which are detailed below to see if that would help. So far today, everything has automated properly. I was in the theater for the start of ET and they closed to flat and then I was there for the start of Frozen 2 and they opened to scope.
-Started Little Women and made some adjustments together with Alec. We still need to adjust the masking plate into Reel 2. Print looks beautiful, and exactly the way it did on the first run. Those occasional dust marks have been there since the very first screening.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:
-I made some timing changes to when the masking cues fire within the following playlist packs: SCOPE lens/masking change, DCP_Show end, and SCOPE_feature. I am allowing a buffer on either side of the masking cues now. I did notice that the lens change and dowser close cues were firing out of order from which they were programmed so I spaced them out further as well. Hopefully this helps. I have asked Alec to be watching TH1 at the start of the rest of the pre shows and trailers tonight.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:
-I tested streaming NBC live today, we are good to go for presenting the Golden Globes.
-FYI: We still have not yet connected our cable box to the projector in high-res.

Chris came in to train today. He wore the walkie and took care of handling all calls for manual starts, etc. We went over some TMS stuff. He helped set-up and test for streaming the Golden Globes in high-res tonight, and rode shotgun while I cleaned the projector and platter, and set up for Little Women.

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.
