NPP Projection Report 8/23 Admin


To do this evening/ was completed: Had our cinema meeting. Got a couple techs and meetings setup for Friday. We're on track with NewFest happenings. 

Filed down both 1.85 plates for the T6 projectors, they look good now. Ran loops for tonight and checked the soundtrack on the first reel of Fearless. It’s definitely Dolby A and it sounded really good, including the dialogue. All set for tonight!

Checked the motor casing for P2 in T6 again, still looking really good!


Started converting Marie Antoinette to DCP, it’s for a private event in T6 on 9/11.


Got a warning on the T6 Christie that the IMB battery is low. The Doremi IMB for the ShowVault server uses a circular lithium battery. I tried finding a nearby store which had it but it didn’t look very promising so I ordered one on Amazon. There were none with Prime shipping so I chose expedited and it said 28th/29th for the delivery. Chris said it will be fine for us to wait until then to replace it.


Scheduled Gran Turismo staff screenings.


The supplemental packages for Gran Turismo (FTR-3) still needed to be ingested. We won’t be getting keys for the version that was delivered first. Ingested both the CCAP and OCAP version and added it to the playlists.


Chris at DMS heard back from Christie in response to the logs he and Gabe sent from the T3 projector. Chris’s suspicion was right, the logs confirmed the backplane PCB is having problems. The logs showed that all boards connecting to it were having connection issues. I gave him the OK to order a replacement.

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Cleared up some mistakes on the TMS for today and a few days ahead (mostly T6) where the wrong playlist was scheduled. 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Double checked to make sure that Fearless playlist had the proper triggers set up for T6. 

Karaoke set up with Will-- please see notes about the DJ key below!

Adjusted the volume for the Cat Video Fest feature since it's the same file as last time and needed to be wayyy lower. I'll double check this tomorrow along with Grand Turismo to make sure volume's fine. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received posters for The Creator. In T3/7. 

Ordering/Receiving (content): Keys for Bonnie n Clyde open up on Friday - we can tech then. 

John looped us in to the booking thread for In The Line Of Fire. Delivery was requested for the 24th of August, but there's no estimated delivery info anywhere (on Deluxe). Forwarded an email I got from Deluxe to the folks in the thread (as well as Jeffrey) since the keys are ostensibly on hold and I'm not sure what's going on with the feature, too. We've got time, we should be okay. 

Keys for Talk to Me will arrive this evening. 

This evening, John is bringing the drive for The First Slam Dunk. 

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Viva got brought down. Made the shipping labels. Going directly to Anna Biller. Cristina has the tracking info. 

Print/video Inspection: 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: Please, everyone, if you work a shift that involves using the panel in Trees--make sure you set yourself a reminder on your phone to put it back in the box. We found a spare with MOD. I'm going to make another copy this week that we can keep in a special spot so that there's another on hand, but we need to get into the habit of making sure it stays put. Thanks! 

Got some references for the (potentially) replaceable parts of the bad power supply we took out of T4 recently. They're just really expensive and getting harder and harder to come by, so at least we've got leads on what to order and how to fix them should we ever need it. 

Ordered some canned air. We're fine on them at the moment, just want to have them on hand and keep at least one can in the booths we don't run film in so that we're ready to clean when we're there, doing maintenance. 

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes. Checked today, checked tomorrow. Some notes above...

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

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.
