NPP Projection 1/28 Admin



To do this evening/ was completed: Removed Belle from TMS. Tech screened Speed Racer and Chicago with Desmond--presentation notes below. 

Presentation Issues: Scope aperture plates on both projectors in T1 are giving shadow on screen, more prominently from Projector 1. It's not egregious but it's there. Other than that, Speed Racer print looks and sounds great. Volume at 7.5 on both processors. 

Chicago 1.85 masking in T2 is too wide, black bars on both sides of screen. Switched masking to 1.78, which looks good. Updated playlist in TMS.

Got a call from Gerard saying that T7 had sound but no image on screen. The projector was displaying an "unexpected light off" warning and the lamp was off. I turned the lamp on, which gave me picture for a moment, then VNC displayed a "ballast communication failure" notification. The lamp turned off again, started to cool down, then a few minutes later turned itself back on. Show is running smoothly so far.

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.
