NPP Projection Blog

To do this evening/ was completed: Crash went smoothly. Rewound it for staff screening. Volume sounded good to me. Coyote V. Acme drive arrived, ingested feature to LMS. Downloaded zip file for Litany For Survival DCP to Share drive. Unzipping at the end of the night. Inspected all of the other SoF print, Eternal Evil of Asia. Back on shipping reels for now. Presentation Issues: Guest mentioned to MOD that the left side of the image was touching the curtain in T4 ( Dagger of Kamui). Indeed it was, by about two inches. I did not adjust the lens file during the film. Maybe the projector got bumped recently.  Another guest said the volume was too low in T5 ( End of Oak Street ). I bumped it to 6.0 and it sounded fine to me. Did not update playlists.

To do this evening/ was completed: Finished inspecting New York New York. Built playlists for Dog Stars. Still waiting on Coyote feature. Scheduled upcoming week in LMS, excluding Coyote and SE shows. Bound went smoothly. Broke down all equipment afterward. Malice did comment about the mic being really hot during the show, it sounded fine to me when I got things ready. We only used the last ten minutes of the forty minute gap between shows to tech, so definitely something that could've been caught during tech had we gone through everything. Desmond brought down mixer volume during performance. Just thought I'd mention because there's another show coming up in a few weeks.

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...
