NPP Projection Blog

To do this evening/ was completed: Both Odyssey shows went smoothly. Lightly cleaned projector at end of the night but maybe another once over tomorrow before first show. Built A1 9/4 R-rated playlists with the specified HowTo/Policy for each. Also built a few special events playlists.  Ingested Three Amigos and Merrily We Go to Hell. Not sure why the latter was uploaded via Deluxe, maybe a request miscommunication. Regardless, it's ingested to LMS, just to have a backup. New 35mm letters are up on the marquee. Started Do The Right Thing DCP in T1, won't be done until Sunday looks like. Inspected the first three reels of Gang Related. It's in very nice condition. The leaders are labeled DTS/Digital, but there's no Dolby Digital soundtrack printed between the perforations, so I put down SR on the inspection report.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (con...

To do this evening/ was completed: Tech'd Coyote and Dog Stars. Will be teching special event shows tomorrow morning.  Sent out info for Coyote vs Acme staff screening tomorrow.  Took a chair out in T3 and put it back after first round.  Presentation Issues: None.  Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the rest of the playlist for both CCAP and OCAP Coyote vs Acme playlists. Scheduled shows for this feature on the LMS for the rest of the week.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ran loops for Escape from LA and ran a reel for sound. I checked this in the theatre and it's pretty hot at 7.5, so I rote down 7.0 for both processors. Looks and sounds great! We haven't sold too many tickets, so I think that volume level should be just fine.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Started ingested content for the 9/4 playlists: forecasts, trailers, new generic action V2 preshow content, Tupac preshow, etc.  Received the fe...

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.
