NPP Projection Admin 9/28



To do this evening/ was completed: Tech'd all new first runs and changed the feature volumes slightly: Dumb Money and The Creator at 5.5, Stop Making Sense at 5.8. I listened to the latter at various sections and I think 5.8 is where it should be. It sounds full but not too loud--given that it's a concert film I think it should play at slightly higher volume than regular features. I'll let Will know to keep an ear on it tonight.

Tech'd the Wake and Bake shorts program and some T3 features (This Place, Almamula and Cora Bora) with Desmond and Dustin. All volumes and aspect ratios have been logged, as well as lights up for the features. It looks like we might have to slightly adjust our 1.33 masking in T1 as there was just a little bit of pillarboxing with all of the shorts in that aspect ratio.

Dustin often wanted to know if the content was CCAP compatible, and I could only confirm yes for those with CCAP written in the DCP file name. If there's more info I can observe please let me know.

He also often asked if the sound mix was stereo or 5.1. For some of the shorts, though they were listed as 5.1 they did not sound like surround and I didn't catch any movement on the Dolby app.

Ran loops for Death Wish 3--framing and focus set.

Inspected the rest of Hausu. Decent condition overall. Some of the reels' CO cues come ten frames from end of reel. Don't know if it's preferable to add grease cues or just trust reaction times. I would opt for the latter but that's just me. Stills uploaded to Drive.

Uploaded keys for Rear Window.

New Jack City was picked up, and I scheduled a Ground pickup for Benjamin Button tomorrow 10-6, print is by the side entrance.

Received posters for Radical and The Royal Hotel.

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.
