NPP Projection Report 12/1 Admin


To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled The Holiday and The Secret Life of Plants playlists.

Trailer Updates: Removed the Nitehawk Shorts Fest call for submissions from all playlists. Did my best to preserve the timing for current playlists by swapping in other trailers, timings for 12/3 playlists updated on cue sheets.

Special Events/ AV set up: When you break down the mic set up in a theater, please return the cables, mics, and mixer to the appropriate bins in 4/6.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested keys for Benedetta and The Holiday, loaded new keys for Dune, Belfast, Spencer, and C'mon C'mon, all of which were imminently expiring.

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Teched the Benedetta playlist, it's good to go.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: I played with the trap and gate on projector #2 in theater 1-- I tried, reseating the trap (it seemed a hair loose), cleaning the spring loaded disc at the top, adding intermittent oil, but nothing fixed the jittery image, though after reseating the gate I'm pretty sure I noticed an improvement-- I ran the first reel of American Astronaut again and the titles looked a lot steadier to my eye than they did last night. I tried also repositioning the turret and removing the gate completely and repositioning it, but I will have to check tomorrow if this did anything since the theater opened and I couldn't look at anything on screen.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Filled in start credits for Benedetta, filled out missing cues for The Holiday, Secret Life of Plants, and Scrooged as well.

Marquee updated?: Put up "Scrooged w/ Book Signing and Special Menu Dec 6" on the 15th street side of the marquee.

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projectors off for the night?:

Projection cart by TH5?:

Nest:

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.
