Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Panic Room print arrived.

Started downloading the DCP of The Reverend for 8/30 to our hard drive. It went all day and still had 10 hours to go when I left. Unless it somehow finishes before Jack leaves, I’ll ingest to Theater 1 and tech it tomorrow.

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Printed and attached return labels for Out of Bounds, scheduled a FedEx pickup for tomorrow and left it on the cart.

Print/video Inspection: Began inspecting Panic Room, looks good overall. Some base scratches which get fairly heavy at certain points, minor dirt/emulsion scratches near changeovers, and intermittent creases accompanied by light emulsion scratches throughout the first half of reel 5. Box was packed with reel 6 at the top and 1 at the bottom, so inspected 6-3. Will finish up the last two reels (1 and 2) before teching it with Desmond tomorrow.

Teched Redline and Sign O’ the Times DCPs for volume and credit offsets, both of which are noted in the asset doc. They both looked and sounded great.

Ran one reel of The Iron Giant on projector 2 to check the effect my repositioning of the gate last week on different film stocks (The Iron Giant is thinner like most newer prints are). It looked really good. Did not check volume, will properly tech it with Desmond tomorrow.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Added special events for the month of October. Left off some TBC events later in the month.

Maintenance/cleaning: I tried adjusting the scope lenses on the Century projectors in Theater 1. We got an email from a customer at the Sunday Point Break show that the image was cut off at the top. I was able to adjust them slightly, the most I could while still being able to get the image in focus. Looking at the RP-40 test loop on screen, there really is not much cut off at the top and bottom, the line marking the edges of the anamorphic frame is just covered by the top and bottom masking.

Cleaned the surface of the rewind table in booth 1, it was getting pretty dirty. If anyone wants to clean it, the best thing to use is the green Clorox spray bottle. Just made sure to clear everything off it before spraying the cleaner, and let it dry off for a good 5-10 minutes before putting anything back on, especially film.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

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.
