NPP Projection Open 4/17



To do this evening/ was completed: Swept and mopped Booth 1 and Booth 4/6. Updated the maintenance log. Cleaned the gates of P1/P2 in T1 after 35mm screening.

Presentation Issues: One slight hiccup at the beginning of Deadful Melody. I started the show with trailer reel and that played smoothly but as I changed over to the first reel of the feature the loop above the gate was suddenly much larger than it had been when I threaded the reel. It was hitting the interior of the projector, so I stopped the motor and brought the house lights up. I rethreaded the reel and made sure everything was good to go. This delay lasted three minutes total. Hit the house lights and started the show. Smooth sailing from there. I was confused by this though, as this reel had been threaded exactly like the trailer reel that came before it, and I had advanced the reel with the flywheel by many turns and the loops along with the rest of the threading looked totally fine to me the whole time I was advancing.

T5 Round 2: Dumbledore preshow had apparently not been ingested to T5, delaying the beginning of Round 2. I rescheduled the playlist and waited for the preshow content to ingest. Got the show going fifteen minutes after its scheduled start time.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: 35mm Deadful Melody screening went smoothly. Reels have been rewound tails out and placed in their shipping box. 

One note: Right as the second reel of the feature got done rewinding for the first time, the head immediately became entangled in the take up spindle, causing the leader to snap. I spliced the severed piece back on to the rest of the leader and then rewound the reel again to leave it tails out.

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.
