NPP Projection Admin 1/26 Lillian/Jack



To do this evening/ was completed: 

Tech'd Infinity Pool and Escape from NY--volume and credit times are set. Adjusted set volume for Late Round 2/23 trailer. DCP'd Jack and Jill slide, ingested V4 version of Black Love trailer. Tech'd NoBudge shorts/playlist again--the masking motor does not respond to the 1.33 lens/mask playlist pack, maybe something to tech. Circumvented that by just adding individual masking cues to the beginning of 1.37/1.33 shorts. Strangelove keys active at midnight. 
 
Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Made the DCP slides for Love Jones and Cruel Intentions - these have been ingested to the TMS.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Seat out in T4! #4201. Needs to go back in after Avatar. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Got RRR and started ingesting Part 1 n 2 into T3 as fast as possible. These will need to be tested and in a timely manner before Action Jackson starts. AJ starts at 9:25~ and Avatar finishes in T3 a few minutes before 9. Keys have been ingested. The current playlist will need to be readjusted with the new files--swap the 5.1 files for the atmos versions. 

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Couple of DCPs are outbound! A.I. needs to be packaged up. Tried to fix one of the canisters a bit. They're more than a little wonky and jagged, so be careful when handling them! 

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes

Maintenance/cleaning: Cleaned out the Cp500 processor, checked the fans/airslots. Attempted another adjusted on the voltage control switch on projector 1. No such luck. As with yesterday, the light kept flickering back and forth between red, orange, and sometimes green, until it landed on orange. Cleaned in and around the lens area on the penthouse. Projector 2 is still running just fine. Dolby Alignment Software is, in fact, on Film Tech. Warehouse ~ Manuals ~ Software. Harder to find if you don't deep dive. 

Ran a load of test film to check out both projectors/ prep for this evening. All good to go for Action Jackson. 

McKegg came in for some training in T1 for threading practice, show-person-ship. We ran War of the Worlds. 

Bulb in T1 might've reached half its lifespan, but it looks like it was installed in August. 

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes. Offset for Jack and Jill has been added. 

Marquee updated?: Yes, Otto down, Infinity Pool up. 

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

Additional Notes:

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. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated
