Additional Notes: Glad to finally be indoctrinated into the projectionist cult! Thanks for all the training and advice over the past week, guys.

I spent some time watching Bohemian Rhapsody in Theater 7 this evening,  and I think the audio could use an overhaul in that room - the left speaker is hissing like crazy, I suspect the amps are turned up a bit to high, and this might be the case in some of the other theaters as well. In my experience, CP750's are typically calibrated to run at or very close to 7.0, whereas all of the NPP 750's live in the 4.0 range. So, we could probably stand to turn the amps down and raise the 750 levels. I'll be hanging out with Billy tomorrow so maybe he can shed some light on why DMS set them up that way. Those guys do great work but it would be sweet to get a Dolby tech in to do a thorough tune and consultation. I know a couple guys who could do wonders with this place!

Also, the convergence on the projector in 7 is noticeably out on the left side of the screen. It's not horrible but it'd be good to get it tightened up at some point. I touched up the lens + screen files a little bit, I'll go through this week and firm up any others that have drifted.

Projection Admin 7/19

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey all! Well, we're just about there! Barbenheimer starts tomorrow. Alec and I ran the print this morning as a dress rehearsal to check image/sound and to give our lovely staff a first look. The print looks really beautiful and I'm very excited for this run. We'll get our eyes on the DCP tomorrow to compare sound, though we're almost certain the loud, static noises that occur during scenes of explosions or closeups of nuclear particles are intentional.  I want to share with everyone a document I've whipped up called Housekeeping Notes for the Projectionist: Plattering Oppenheimer. This document details everything from notes on threading procedures--to cleaning--to examples of common situations and how to respond/communicate with colleagues and, of course, staying on top of other duties. Whilst Alec and I will be there for the first couple of screenings and to assist with each projectionists' first time running the platter--pl

NPP Projection 11/17 Close

To do this evening/ was completed:v Mandy ingested to T1. Reached out to Vision for new posters. Was placed on hold, which was more an unending cycle of pressing 1 for hold and then being told to press 0 for voicemail or 1 for hold. Point being I left a voicemail requesting new posters. Gave them our account number, location and my cell. Outgoing marquee letters taken down. 11/10 playlists and forecasts deleted, Chicken Run V2 and Christmas Action trailers downloaded and ingested, 11/24 A1 playlists and packs built. Inspected Raising Cain print. It's in good condition, minimal scratching, no splices. Inspection sheet filled out. Transferred Marvels content to T6, as it was missing from the server due to the 1:20 tomorrow being a manual start.
