Projection Admin 3/23

To do this evening/ was completed: This morning I changed the lamp in T6 since it was time. Cleaned the lamp house whilst it was vacant. New lamp is nice and bright, no issues. Swapped the power sources and ran many image tests in T4 for analog as per my discussion with Alec yesterday after going over the issues with Projector 2. I sent the rundown to Roger, Alec and Matthew. While everything is, at the moment, visually stable, there is still a bit of a mystery issue with Projector 2 that we need to weed out. We will keep you updated. - LH Ran house checks this morning in all theaters except 6 as Lillian was busy completing maintenance on its projector -WB Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Double checked the show playlist for  The Headless Woman in theater 4 for this evening's show and lowered the feature volume/added a house lights up cue -WB Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Just a fr...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Ran into the same issue today that Alec experienced yesterday morning during The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance as the power source to projector 2 in theater four was acting up. Halfway through the first reel of the print the bulb began to flicker violently, raising and lowering the brightness of the picture on screen quite quickly, causing a stir in the crowd as it was more noticeable than usual. Fortunately Alec was watching the film and graciously came up to the booth to assess the problem as I switched to the second reel. He tried disconnecting  and reconnecting a few things from the machine but nothing alleviated the issue of the lack of consistent amperage/voltage powering the bulb. Ultimately we ran the print off the functional projector after asking Wyatt to make an announcement to the guests and the show ran smoothly albeit with minor interruptions between each reel.  Preshow Clips/Playlist: The Headless Woman ...

Projection Close 3/21

To do this evening/ was completed: The event in Trees went well! Video stalled twice, but got it to stable out.  Presentation Issues: No issues in the screening rooms. Made the rounds.  Preshow Clips/Playlist: Got volume complaints in T7 for preshow/trailers, (just for The Bride) but all playlists in there and in general are the correct volume and nothing seemed out of the ordinary when I went down there, but then again, my ears might be a little busted.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Matthew brought in an Art House Cinema week poster, which I put up in the lobby. We'll keep it til the week is through.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested the DCP for the private event on 3/26.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes.  Marquee updated?: Added birthday letters to the brunch marquee...

NPP Projection Report 3/21 Open

Bit of a long one but everything was pretty smooth today! To do this evening/ was completed: End credits time for Labyrinth was an entire hour off on the cue sheet. I fixed it for tomorrow, but come on, guys... isn't this why we check them the night before? FYI - I took the damper out of the exhaust duct for P2 in T4, so it can't be closed at the moment. There's a piece that's loose on it which makes it close partially when exposed to airflow from above, which is what I thought had been the cause of the occasional problem where the lamp brightness dips (more on that below). I put some glue on it which is drying on top of the lens cabinet in 4/6, please don't touch. Thanks! Presentation Issues: Cleaning lights didn't go down in T2 when preshow for Labyrinth started. The normal show start pack was in the playlist so they should've. I hit the lights up cue from the booth to make sure the lighting automations were working, and it worked. Lighting cues worked ...
