NPP Projection Report 7/24 Close

To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: The HVAC system broke down in theater 1 right before the last round which forced the MODs to place three fans throughout the auditorium; this created a considerable amount of white noise throughout so I turned up the feature volume to 6.7 (as opposed to the usual 5.5) to compensate for the additional sound

Around 9:23PM I noticed a "LampLOC board communication failure/LampLOC state sensor failure" read out in theater 1 during the middle of the 9:00PM screening of Nope; fortunately this did not immediately affect the light and the picture remained on screen but I could not get through to Jerry to query him about how best to troubleshoot the alarm (I reached out to Alec who said he would look at it tomorrow morning if the scheduled shutdown/restart doesn't fix the issue)

Additional Notes: Continued beeping from the backup battery in theater 6's sound rack between the fourth and fifth round of shows; I lent the server in theater 5 a flashlight from the 4/6 office in order to help with visibility in the auditorium (I've marked this with some gaff tape and asked them to leave it in the station for the other servers to use until the part to fix the table lights arrives -- hopefully by tomorrow morning)

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.
