NPP Projection Close 8/17

To do this evening/ was completed: Odyssey 35mm went smoothly. Cleaned projector afterward. Blind Fury went mostly smoothly but there seemed to be some issues with the sound. Cristina asked me to turn up the volume during the first reel even though I was already at 9.0. Bumped it to 9.5 and it still sounded odd to her ear. Switched over to reel two (P1) and it sounded better. I inspected a few of the reels' leaders and I didn't see anything indicating an SR track (was running the print with SR selected, inspection report and tech said SR). Seemed like it was a Dolby A print. I told Cristina I could switch over to A or leave it in SR if that sounded good to her, but didn't get a response during the film, so I left it as is. Afterward she told me the sound was different from each projector. Also, I thought it was just the way the Belly print was printed, but I saw it tonight too: top left corner of screen when P1 is running 1.85, there's a bit of black. Looks like maybe t...

NPP Projection Open 8/16

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ran the first reel of Blind Fury for Cristina this morning and logged volumes for the feature and the trailer that precedes reel 1 First Strike screening was exhausting (splitting up an hour and forty seven minutes across eleven reels was certainly a choice) but went flawlessly save for the final changeover which I botched; missed the motor cue and the crowd saw some leader ladies on screen for a split second. Got things back under control and the film ended without any further issues. Cleaned both projectors afterwards and switched lenses and plates back to 1.85 for the print tomorrow night The Odyssey  is all set for tonight; Jack will be handling the two shows this evening Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Put First Strike back on its shipping reels after the show ...
