NPP Projection Close 1/20



To do this evening/ was completed: Uploaded keys for Train to Busan. Transferred the OCAP version of Babylon to T7. Built preshow playlists for upcoming 35mms.

Presentation Issues: Round 3 in T7, Otto, did not start as automated. I looked at the feature on the IMS and it was showing that keys were not active, even though new keys had been uploaded for both versions of the film. I reuploaded the keys in the IMS, which did not resolve the issue. Uploaded all new keys to the TMS, which did the trick. Theater opening was delayed by about 15 minutes, as I did not realize the automated start had failed for a little while.

No issues with RRR.

Additional Notes: Someone came by with a poster for a new Willem Dafoe film, stating that he needed to install the poster and take a picture of it, and then take it down again. I questioned him a bit about this, explaining this isn't how we receive posters, but he was pretty adamant and basically kept repeating himself. Ultimately we put the poster up in one of the cases inside of the front entrance. He took the picture, I took the poster down, then he asked if we could put the poster up outside. I told him no and that was that. Probably some sort of scam/quota fulfillment but he was adamant to the point that I didn't feel like turning him away. The company he represented was called DASH.

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.
