NPP Projection Report 9/8


To do this evening/ was completed: Dolby CaptiView in Theater 2 is working again. I didn't realize this but the CaptiView devices connect to a USB plugin (looks like a flash drive) that plugs into the side of the projector. We used to have trouble getting them to connect from inside Theater 2 (we would have to take them up to the booth to get them to connect), so someone (guessing Michael back before we closed) used a USB cable to extend the plugin through an opening by the port glass into the theater. Long story short, the cable got disconnected from the projector, but I plugged it back. Be careful since the cable doesn't have much slack and can easily come unplugged (its the only USB plugged into the side of the projector), if CaptiView stops working in Theater 2 check this first.

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built/scheduled staff screening playlists for The Card Counter and Prisoners of the Ghostland.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Still waiting on a slideshow and house music playlist from the hosts of the event tomorrow. I'll keep an eye on my email and share any content that needs to be saved.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Called Vision Media to see if they have posters for Prisoners of the Ghostland and Language Lessons, they said we have one sheets for Prisoners incoming and that they do not handle Language Lessons. Language Lessons posters aren't available through IMoxie either, I'll see if DCU can help once they get me the tracking.

Ordering/Receiving (content): Fellowship of the Ring DCP drive should be coming from UPS this evening. Let's hold off on ingesting until we can delete the first run features that close on Friday, it's a big file and the TMS is getting pretty full.

Language Lessons is coming from Digital Cinema United. Apparently they only received this DCP last night so they are shipping our drive overnight today. I'm supposed to be getting tracking at some point but as of now I still haven't received it from my contact at DCU. I'll add it to the Asset Tracking doc once it comes through.

Outgoing/Shipping (content): There are four drives on the shelf ready to be returned, try and hand them off to UPS when they deliver the Fellowship drive.

Print/video Inspection: Teched the Prisoners of the Ghostland playlist and added lighting cues for the credits. It's all set.

Ingested keys for The Card Counter, which activate at midnight tonight.

I tested the 1.66 Lens/Masking change in the houses where Card Counter will be playing. Other than a screen file and masking adjustment I made in Theater 2, they were already good to go.

Built and teched a playlist for the private event in Theater 1 tomorrow. It's all set.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes, updated with credit timing for Prisoners of the Ghostland.

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.
