NPP Projection Close 8/13



To do this evening/ was completed: Updated all first run playlists for 8/19. The PG-13 and R playlists ran about a minute and a half too long in the preshow, so I removed the TIP_Hot element. Made a preshow playlist for Point Break that can be reused for Demolition Man. 

Successfully locally ingested BebesKids V2 trailer to T1.

Finished inspecting Days of Thunder, reels 5-7 are pretty beat up, with reel six featuring 39 sprocket repairs. I added two of my own. Reel seven also has 30+ sprocket repairs. Added additional leader to reel seven for a smooth changeover. Reels five through seven all had scribed cues placed too late in the reel, possibly due to the last frames having been removed from the print. Added new grease cues for motor and changeover.

Took pictures of the DoT print without using the magnifier, and I think this is the way to photograph prints for social media going forward. The images are sharper and you can show 4-5 frames at a time, which is a bit more visually striking, in my opinion. Uploaded the stills to Google Drive and notified Conrad.

Additional Notes: During print inspection tonight communication on the walkie was pretty active. I found it a little bit distracting and I'm wondering if we could think more about having projection switch over to a different channel.

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.
