NPP Projection Close 7/23

To do this evening/ was completed: Made my rounds throughout the building after starting the Oppenheimer print; picture and sound have been fine all evening

Oppenheimer shows ran very smoothly despite the minor DCP hiccup (see below); the print remains in great condition and the platter/projector is running in tip top shape

Presentation Issues: There was a bit of a mixup with the manual start for the final round in T6; I thought the OCAP version of Past Lives  was meant to be playing but it was the CCAP instead (I had been looking at the cues for Monday by mistake) but I was in communication with Wyatt and got it sorted out quickly

The audience for the final round of Oppenheimer got a double dose of the Universal logo since the DCP show playlist had been mistakenly scheduled instead of the 35mm one and this began playing just as I was opening the dowser on the film projector; I quickly shut the dowser on the digital projector, switched the sound channel back to 35mm, and opened the masking to its proper scope setting, which resulted in about ten seconds worth of film going by before the print could properly get started (the show ran smoothly after this and I manually shut off the lamp on the digital projector, paused the playlist, then skipped ahead and ejected it after the print finished its run -- I also double checked the TMS for tomorrow night and the 35mm show playlist was/is properly scheduled)

Preshow Clips/Playlist: I scheduled shutdowns for all automated first run show playlists for tomorrow since these were missing

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Turned off the lamp/rectifiers and cleaned projector 1 following the final round of Oppenheimer in T1 (platter is also covered for the night)

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.
