NPP projection report Friday, 1/17 CLOSE Chris

Presentation Issues:
-As mentioned by Karen, there was that issue with JOJO in T7. At the risk of sounding insane, I'm kind of glad it happened so as to have a sense of what to do in emergency scenarios of this type. Aside from the lack of preshow or trailers, the presentation of the feature itself went smoothly and according to plan, in-theatre staff adapted with ease.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:
-101 Dalmatians only barely got past the halfway mark coming off of EVO, and so I couldn't move DCP II over to TMS to ingest that slide for the LTROI film feast intro.

-Tech'd VIVA THE UNDERDOGS, but due to the peculiarities of this event relative to my experience (music-only intro, no representation on the trailer sched) I built only a very bare bones SPL for it, lacking most cues and devoid of all content aside from the feature itself. This has been added to the sched for reference. Put a 40 minute "Black" element at the beginning as a placeholder for preshow.

Trailer Updates:N/A

Special Events/ AV set up:N/A

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):N/A

Ordering/Receiving (content):
-DCP of THE GENTLEMEN arrived, didn't know when we wanted it ingested so I shelved it, orange shipping box.

-Poster for *Call of the Wild* arrived, left it in it's tube.

Outgoing/Shipping (content):N/A

Print/video Inspection:
-Tech'd VIVA THE UNDERDOGS in T1 where it will be shown, so it is currently in the correct server.

-Setting volume cue at 5.0, this is a documentary about an Australian metal band so it veers between fairly quiet off-the-cuff dialogue and pounding death metal pretty regularly. T1 sound system plays it all beautifully, ditto visuals. Event memo says crowd is expected to be mostly fans so I'm erring on the LOUD side of things here, don't think we'll have noise complaints from a crowd of metal heads. 5.5 sounds good, but shakes the floor  during concert footage.

-The credits are very short, less than three mins and are interspersed with footage throughout so I've added a 90 second "Black" bumper at the end to stave off the harsh reality of the cleaning lights.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:
-Added stats for VIVA THE UNDERDOGS and made an entry for THE GENTLEMEN.

Maintenance/cleaning:N/A

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):
Scheduled out thru Thursday 1/23 in TMS, red flagged maual stars as necessary.

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.
