NPP Projection Report 11/23 Close


To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: Audio issue with the Tenet screening in Theater 1 which led to the screening being interrupted and most of the 6th reel going unshown, see below.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: I noticed during the first show that C'mon C'mon is 1.66, so I added the lens/masking change for that ratio to the playlist.

Built and scheduled the Love Actually playlist.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Tenet 35mm screening in Theater 1. when I changed over to reel 6 of the film, I got a call from the servers in the theater that only the music on the soundtrack was playing, no dialogue. I thought it was just a glitch with the changeover as I heard the dialogue fine through the booth monitor, but when I checked in the theater I could barely hear anything, even music. I tried switching to the SR soundtrack, checked the connections to/from the film audio processor, restarted everything, switched between projectors, but nothing worked. I was so stumped that I stopped the movie, and after emailing DMS in a panic I figured out the main amps had shut off. Turns out the movie was so loud it tripped the breakers for the main amps. I got them back on and projected the 7th (last reel) for the remaining audience.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordered posters for Benedetta, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and The Matrix Resurrections through IMoxie.

Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested new keys for Dune.

I noticed that the Universal Holiday Combo drive, with Love Actually and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, also contains The Best Man Holiday, screening 12/8.

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Cleared Last Night in Soho feature and playlist from all servers.

Scheduled a FedEx pickup for the Tenet print.

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Added tracking for The Holiday, The Secret Life of Plants, and Scrooged drives. All three are due to arrive on Friday 11/26.

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

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.
