NPP Projection Close 9/19



To do this evening/ was completed: Double events didn't slow me down tonight, but Death Becomes Her needs to be built and scheduled first thing

Presentation Issues: During The Nun II in Theater 3 during the last round, the masking didn't adjust to scope through automation. I was in the midst of ending the Industrial Musicals event so I couldn't get down there immediately. I tried to walk Jared through it, but ultimately went down there myself. When I first went ot the manual controls, they didn't work and noticed that the power strip had been turned off.  Once I turned that back on, I was able to adjust the masking. 

Automation in Theater 7 didn't start so I had to do manual starts for the last two rounds

Preshow Clips/Playlist: I was looking at the automation for tomorrow and noticed that not only has Death Becomes Her hasn't been scheduled, the playlist hasn't been built. We were missing the Queer Camp preshow clips to match the trailer list so I started downloading those. Unfortunately this was at the end of the night so I wasn't able to ingest them before I had to go. I started building as much of the playlist as I could with what was already ingested. 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: The Industrial Musicals event went perfectly! I checked in with Cristina beforehand, we had a good tech (despite needing to call Alec with some spotlight setup), but once we got going, I was keeping an eye on everything throughout! There were a few technical cues like pausing and volume that didn't go off, but I was there to manually stop and start to play it safe. Everything is broken down. 

Trivia also went smoothly! Thankfully Shay got here early so I wasn't rushing between that and starting the Industrial Musicals event. Everything down there is also broken down.

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.
