NPP Projection Report 3/21 Close (McKegg)



To do this evening/ was completed: My first solo 35 outing went great! Outside of that, it was the usual Tuesday night business

Presentation Issues: During Breathless, Cristina and I noticed on Projector 2 that the focus was going in and out. I was doing my best to keep it consistent. It was not an issue on Projector 1 at all, so it didn't wholly seem like it was the print. I did notice that the film playing on Projector 2 would moving back and forth within the reels. 

It was more noticeable during the credits as I saw the text going in and out. I talked to Cristina about it afterwards and how it might be a combo of that projector, the print itself, and the house reels they were on. 

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Automation scheduled for next week apart from event playlists and Dungeons & Dragons

Trailer Updates: 

Special Events/ AV set up: Other than the Projector 2 focus issue, Breathless went great! Just one framing adjustment was made early in the show (top of Reel 2) and then it was smooth sailing from there. Transition from intro to the film back to the alternate ending was seamless. Everything's been broken down and in 4/6. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

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

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.
