Projection Admin 8/24

To do this evening/ was completed: Ran house checks. Over the weekend we had a brief complaint during what wound up being the trailers section (in T5) in which a patron said no sound was coming from one of the left side speakers, but I'm assuming it was a centre channel trailer. I went through the playlist that was running at the time, today, and everything sounded normal to me.  Looks like we've got no more Odyssey shows for the rest of the week, but I'm standing by until we receive the new film schedule. I haven't heard anything from Brad at Film Tech just yet.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Bound playlist all set.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Setup the PA - speakers all set, yamaha mixer, wireless mixer for Bound tonight. Few things - I DCP'd the Jennifer Tilly video and added it to the playlist, took out Vigor's performance since they can't make it. Event memo updated. I went through the entire playlist, double checked volu...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Fargo went nicely. Cleaned T4 platter and projector, ran a loop and threaded Odyssey for the first show tonight. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Fargo is packed up and on the cart. Pickup scheduled for tomorrow. Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: I decided to leave the levels for the T1 35mm projectors as Roger set them the other day. P2 is turned all the way up, while P1 is lowered a bit to match, so it makes sense. Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Marquee updated?: Yes, I updated the 35mm and brunch sides. Posters updated?: Cleaning lights on for the night?: Projection cart by entrance?: Additional Notes:

NPP Projection Report 8/22 Open

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: 7.5 was super quiet for Fargo . I think after the adjustments Roger made yesterday, we'll have to crank volumes on prints pretty high until we get a new sound reader for P2. Played this at 10 on the 500 and 9.0 on the 750 today, would suggest doing the same for Crash . Other than the first couple minutes being pretty quiet, Fargo ran smoothly. Ran a loop, cleaned the platter and projector in T4. Threaded up Odyssey for 5pm. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: I checked thru all the lenses in T1 Jack mentioned in his blog yesterday. After some minor (re)adjustments, they are all fine. Make sure you put the right plates in each projector, all of this would've been avoided if they hadn't been swapped. I r...

NPP Projection 8/20 Close + 8/21 Admin

To do this evening/ was completed: 8/20 Odyssey 35mm went smoothly. Cleaned projector after show. Trees Lounge T1 and T2 went smoothly, recorded the Q&A if anyone wants it. Mics back in booths. Removed old playlists/content, built 8/28 A1 playlists (excluding Coyote v. Acme and Dog Stars ). Tech'd Fargo and Crash with Cristina, volumes logged, good to go. Dear Mama download seemed to fail shortly after it was started. I tried to reinitiate it, which sent a new download code to Desmond but I didn't hear back about it in time. All to say we need to try to download again. Tech'd CatVideoFest and Is God Is. Because the maintenance with Roger took a while I wasn't able to look at Is God Is in T4, so I sent it to T3 and looked at it there. Looks and sounds good, lowered volume to 5.2.

NPP Projection Admin 8/20

To do this evening/ was completed: We are all set for both Trees Lounge shows tonight. I reached out to Cristina to see what she wanted for the spots/wash situation since it's a big event (and I didn't want the QR code to get blurred out, particularly in T2). I made a preset with a multicolored wash with spots and ran a few sets past her. We're using the same sequence for both the intro and Q&A in T1, which is on a white card up in the booth. There's also only one setting we'll need in T2 since it's just an intro, which is taped up in the booth. I ran through the playlists to double check everything. Good to go. There are two chairs off to the side in T1, but I put a few pieces of tape down to mark them for where they should be during the Q&S. Should be a breeze. Ran through this with Jack. - Lillian  Platter/projector are clean for The Odyssey in T4. Ran a loop. - Lillian Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist:  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV ...
