NPP Projection Report 4/17 Admin

To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Made an intro DCP slide for the Just Cruise 2 event (this was ingested and transferred to theater 3 via the TMS) and began downloading the feature file from the WeTransfer link provided by Chenelle

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received additional posters for Blue Beetle and a one sheet for Book Club: The Next Chapter

Ordering/Receiving (content): Downloaded and uploaded new KDMs for The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Chenelle reached out to projection/MOD about a hard drive drop off at 2:30PM (this was delayed due to a technical difficulty); the Just Cruise 2 filmmaker brought by a LaCie hard drive containing the "warm up" file and this was downloaded to the P&T drive in the 4/6 office

Just Cruise 2 DCP was ingested locally to theater 3; began converting the "warm up" file to DCP (this is setup for 30FPS playback ... not sure if it will create technical difficulties with out projectors)

Dazed and Confused slide was downloaded and ingested to the TMS  and added to the show playlist 

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Quality checked Serial Mom in theater 1 and raised the volume on the show playlist; ran house checks in all theaters except 1, 6, and 7 (the latter two do not have the "House Check" SPL loaded to their servers)

I teched the first reel of Melancholia in theater 1 this afternoon; the picture is a bit scratched (cosmetic damage was noted in the inspection report) but the sound is rather finicky as the film opens with a slow motion sequence set to a booming orchestral number and, at 9.0 on both processors, had the speakers crackling -- I lowered it to 8.0 and that seemed to calm the rumbling -- the film is largely quiet otherwise

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.
