NPP Projection Report 5/14 Close


To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: Jack reminded me about the lens offset on the 1.78 DCP projector channel in Theater 4. World’s Fair is in this ratio and is screening in this theater so I checked it between rounds. As Jack mentioned it was bleeding on the left side of the curtain. I used the alignment test to adjust the offset to the right on the 178 ILS before the film’s screening.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled a preshow playlist for the Watchmen screening.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content):

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Cleared features from theaters which they won’t be screening in, and got rid of some obsolete playlists.

Print/video Inspection: Timed the credits for Watchmen and updated the timing on the cue sheets.

Emailed projection about a change to the film inspection protocol, basically just inspecting the print twice, once before screenings and again after the last screening. I’ve made a new inspection form for this purpose, it’s two-sided, with a ore-screening form on one side and a post-screening form on the other. They also have some more info on them than the previous ones. I’ve made several copies and placed some in both 35mm booths. I also transferred the info from the reports for the three current prints, The Mask, Videodrome, and Watchmen for their post-screening inspection.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes, added all Cinema and private events for June, added in format, auditorium, distribution info from the event calendar and distro doc.

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Filled in timing for the Watchmen screening.

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

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.
