NPP Projection Sunday - 3/7 - Jim



To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: TH2 gave me an "AC Interlock" warning when I turned it on, but this was easily fixed by opening up the projector door and repositioning the interlock. Then the lamp turned on just fine. TH7 projector's VNC/Christie screen is locked & needs an Administrator's password. I was able to turn the lamp on by loading a playlist and playing the first 10 seconds. Because I'm still getting used to the huge yet sometimes subtle differences between interfaces at both locations, I must have accidentally loaded a playlist onto TH1 instead of TH7 while working things out. At NWB you quickly fix this by simply setting it back from manual to schedule, but at NPP you must eject what you loaded before doing so. So at opening when TH1 was scheduled to play "Raya" it played "Judas" instead. I called Alec and he walked me through the very simple fix. Just one of those tiny details that you don't realize are so crucially different from NWB & NPP until you experience it.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: I played the "Chaos Walking NO TRAILERS" playlist ahead of the private screening of "Pee Wee's Big Adventure". There was no "Lights down" cue at the start of "Chaos", so I brought them down manually. The event ran simple & smooth. The party had a great time. The blu-ray is back behind the Lobby bar. Alec, thank you for your notes & assistance!

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.
