NPP Projection Report 11/17 Admin

To do this evening/ was completed: I tested the show playlist for Minions before showtime in theater 2 this morning and the picture/sound were fine. The DCP backup for Desperately Seeking Susan looks/sounds great. The mono soundtrack was a bit low so it needed to be played even louder than the print version. I made notes for volume and credit/crawl offset times for Jack to use later if needed. I also ran some alignment loops through both projectors in theater 6 to check how much shadow was cast on screen from each aperture plate; projector 2's is barely noticeable once its pushed in but projector 1's plate definitely needs filing down as it sticks out on the right hand side of the screen -- this isn't exactly a hindrance but is definitely cutting off some of the picture. Gaff tape on the port glass only makes the shadow look fuzzier so I left it untouched to give the shadow a more refined edge beside the curtain

Ingested Moonstruck, FebLove, Fun, KillSisterKill 20min/40min, Lovecraft 10min/20min preshow content to the TMS

Presentation Issues: There were no serious alarms in theater 2 this morning (the "light half life exceeded" alarm has been yellow for some time) but the "ballast communication/ballast power locked out" alarms in theater 5 are still glowing red, however, the bulb did not need to be struck manually today and the first round preshow started normally without any issues

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

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.
