NPP Projection Admin 4/11



To do this evening/ was completed: Set up the laptop/HDMI connection (on stage AJA connection) in T2 to look at the Shouting at the Screen slideshow. Connection worked just fine but our projection laptop doesn't have a Microsoft PowerPoint account. I tried to create one which caused the application to freeze repeatedly--I couldn't do anything with it. Cristina didn't have PowerPoint on her laptop and neither did MOD (floater) so we didn't really test the preshow. That said, the HDMI connection worked well and I was able to advance through the slides no problem (Dropbox slideshow). 

Tech'd Bring it On and White Chicks with Desmond--logged volume for both. Both prints are in great condition, look really good.

Also tech'd the first two reel of 2001--ran the first reel once on each projector in T1 to get a sense of the placement of image print on the reel. The image is significantly more pillarboxed on the right side of the screen, and looked the same on both projectors. I took videos for reference. To my eye reel two seemed to show a slightly more prominent asymmetrical pillaboxing. 2:20 masking causes some bleed on the left curtain. I rewound both reels onto show reels for more upcoming tech. Also: the introductory music sequence/black screen at the beginning of reel one features a lot of scratches/wear. Looks kind of like a Brakhage film.

Downloaded and ingested the Renfield preshow--playlist built.

Started scheduling the week in the TMS.

Started making the DCP for Modern Man (NoBudge), Corpo Celeste slide DCP'd.

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.
