NPP Projection Report 1/16 Admin

To do this evening/ was completed: I checked reels 3-5 of Casper in theater 6 to try to recreate the sound issue from yesterday and could not hear any buzzing or droning in the speakers. I tried letting the film run with and without the analog sound reader loop secured to it but that didn't have any effect either aside from the usual dip in volume when that clasp is undone; Alec asked that I also try turning on the CNA-200 console to reselect the Dolby-SR sound setting as the film played -- just to see if using it would have any effect on soundtrack playback -- but there was none

I screened reel 1 of Desperately Seeking Susan in theater 6 following the Casper sound check; switched the audio over to mono from the CNA-200 and picture/sound playback was fine -- some slight scratching and crackling throughout but these did not hinder the quality of the projection

Presentation Issues: There were various temperature alarms in theater 2 (air intake, card cage exhaust, integrator temperature, light exhaust temperature, prism, blue/green/red DMD). A hard reboot seemed to fix the error but I will monitor the start of the next round of shows to make sure the image is appearing without any issues -- I called Jerry and he said to complete a log pull from the touchscreen for him to look over the projector data as he thought the EVP board might have gone bad (Update: I pulled interrogator logs from the projectors in 2 and 5 onto a USB and emailed the files to Jerry for review)

Ballast communication failure/ballast power control locked out alarms in theater 5 during the first round preshow (I had to re-strike the lamp in order to get the picture on screen). Again, I will monitor the start of the next round of shows to make sure the light doesn't fail at the start of/during the preshow -- Jerry said to run a log pull on this server too in order to better assess the issue

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.
