NPP Projection Report 8/18 Close

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content):

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Left Mo Better Blues print on the cart by the entrance for pickup tomorrow.

Print/video Inspection: Finished reinspecting Mo Better Blues and packed it up for return.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: Added some oil to the intermittent sprocket valve on projector 2 in Theater 1.

I also repositioned the gate, comparing it to the one on projector 1, there was a tiny bit more distance between the gate pad and trap on projector 2. I think this should help with films printed on thinner stock (usually newer prints are like this) that jitter up and down slightly on screen. Since increasing gate tension had helped when this happened (but compromised even focus), I think repositioning the gate should help without us having to increase gate tension excessively. No Way Out looked good from projector 2 tonight, though this was on thicker stock so we’ll have to keep an eye on it.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):

Marquee updated?: Removed Minions and Mo Better Blues from the front, put up Out of Bounds.

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?: Yes

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.
