NPP Projection Report 7/30 Open


To do this evening/ was completed: T4 lamp was on this morning, since it was turned back on for the Oppenheimer DCP last night. Remember there is no shutdown playlist scheduled after the last 35mm Oppenheimer playlists, since there is a cue to shut the lamp off after the trailers.

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: E.T. went well again today. The motor start issue on the CP500 is affecting changeovers to projector 1, too. The opposite thing happens where sound switches to projector 1 before you changeover. So I switched to SR before starting the motor to changeover and then switched back to Digital after killing the motor on the projector that just finished a reel for all changeovers and that worked. Do this for The Mist tomorrow night!

The first Oppenheimer 35mm show went well. After it finished I added a washer to the guide roller for the bottom deck (which guides the film onto the deck when being rewound/taken up) as it was a tiny bit too low. Only enough for the edge to brush against the deck occasionally, not damaging anything but a little too close for comfort. The washer raised it a tiny bit so it should be good now. The film edge brushing against the deck could have affected the uniformity of the wind, which might have been why there was a brain wrap last night. Will threaded the next show when he got in and I stayed until he had motored the first countdown and the protection leader through. No problems, going to be a great show!

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.
