Projection Close 3/25



To do this evening/ was completed: Full house tonight, super busy. John Wick 4 is really drawing out a crowd.

I took a look around the projectors in 4/6, where Jack saw the flash/pop thing from last night. Didn't find anything out of the ordinary, but I'll continue to look. I did smell something toxic around P1 not long ago, so there could've been a fuse issue, or something that leaked and caused a reaction, but I haven't seen anything just yet.  The rectifiers are never on in T6, which is a good thing. 

As Alec mentioned, we've got a new bulb on the way. Neither of us heard back from Roger, who is pretty much swamped with work right now, so that makes sense! No harm though, I'm really grateful for that Interlight website. We pretty much matched it with the model in P2 (an Osram), since P1 had a Philips, which is an older model. Fingers crossed this comes Monday, but Tuesday would be fine. Alec got the fastest shipping possible...

Special Events/ AV set up: Took out one of those 3 attached seat sections in T2 for wheelchair access. Put it back after the show. 

Computer is running slow and acting up, but, I'm trying to copy Get It Back and Heaven Stood Still to the 4/6 desktop. Both are on the True Blue drive.

Print/video Inspection: Spent a good chunk of time inspecting Ronin. This was definitely plattered, most of the shipping reels it came on are quite dirty and sticky. The print itself is in pretty great condition, despite some residue, debris, dirt built up along the edges. There's a pretty nasty base scratch at the beginning of R1. It doesn't last terribly long. There's bits of what I think is just marker ( not grease pen) where the c/o cue is on R2 and the same on R3. Overall, this is a 1998 Kodak print (you guys know how I feel about late 90's/early 2000s prints...big heart eyes), which means the color is amazing and the overall image should look pretty nice.

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.
