NPP Projection Report 7/31 Admin

To do this evening/ was completed: The Odyssey looks and sounds fairly fantastic in T4. First show went super well.

Same threading system. - L Presentation Issues: None.  Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built more SE playlists, got rid of old content.  - L Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Odyssey print is built on the T4 platter and the first show is off to a good start.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built playlists for One Night Only and the rest of the run titles + built and scheduled an OCAP babies Spider-Man: Brand New Day  show playlist for the morning of 8/4 (we are still waiting on the pre-show for CatVideoFest so this is the only remaining first run playlist that needs to be built) Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Off the Rails private event in theater 3 played to a packed crowd and ran smoothly; brought the mixer back up to theater 4 (Chenelle may have also misplaced the spotlight remote for this auditorium. I'd handed it off to her at the start of the show to bring the lights up during the intro and she couldn't remember where it was after the screening ended...will update if it's found by the end of the night) Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): The Thomas Crown Affair and The Wrong Girls posters were delivered and stored behind 3/7 Ordering/Receiving (content...

To do this evening/ was completed: Happy (early) Birthday to Jack Keep an eye out for manual starts today! Broke down The Odyssey since we're screening it in T4 starting tomorrow, so (reels 3 and 2 are in their boxes) but the first reel is still on the make up table because the table's motor section was getting so stressed it started steaming/smoking a bit. Alec and I will be taking a look at this first thing in the morning. In addition to turning the table off, I unplugged it for good measure. We're gonna let it cool off this evening. There's only, essentially, the first five minutes of the feature left to put back on the reel, so hopefully tomorrow morning will be quick after it rests tonight.  Presentation Issues: Had a complaint about brightness in T2. I raised the brightness ever so slightly, but it's harder to make any real shift when we're open. It also looked good during the staff screening this morning. Will and I checked this out and whilst it looks pe...

To do this evening/ was completed: Stir of Echoes went smoothly. Equipment broken down afterward, print back on shipping reels. Odyssey shows went smoothly too, however MOD showed me an email from a guest who attended the 6pm show complaining about focus and strobing. I only looked at the 6pm show briefly but the image looked well-balanced to me. I forwarded the email to the projection account. Two manual starts tomorrow heads up.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built WTO/99 and filled in the timing on the cue sheet, save for the Q&As end time as this is not on the event memo yet. The feature has been teched; it's entirely in 1.33 except the opening logo, so I put a masking cue after that. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Set up a mic & stand for the Stir of Echoes intro tonight and ran loops for the film. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested One Night Only . Outgoing/Shipping (content): Deleted several features off the LMS and screen servers. Print/video Inspection: Looked at I Want Your Sex and updated the volume in the playlist. Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes, added the titles for August. Maintenance/cleaning: Since Obsession has its last show in T5 tonight, where it can't be masked, I've reset the masking presets everywhere. I pulled the test film off the T4 platter and ...

To do this evening/ was completed: 35mm Odyssey running smoothly. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: We got a complaint about the Twisted Romance preshow for Obsession so Kat asked us to swap it out with Generic_Romance, which I did for the two/three shows we got left.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: There was an "ILS board communication failure" on the T2 Christie this morning. Bit of a long story but I replaced the IMCB for the ILS and we're all good. I initially changed the LampLOC board (this is also an IMCB, they're identical), and adjusted lens files when I thought we'd need to replace something else, but Jerry told me where the correct board was located and I changed that and reset the lens files back to normal. TLDR we have a new LampLOC board in T2...
