NPP Projection Report 8/15 Admin

To do this evening/ was completed: Completed Dolby house checks in all auditoriums and noticed the left and right rear surround speakers in theater 3 are extremely crackly; I rebooted the processors in the room to see if that wouldn't fix the problem but I think it's strictly a speaker cone issue as the same thing occurred when I played the house check CPL a second time (it was difficult to notice when I put feature content on screen, it seems like the rest of the mix disguised how crackly those rear speakers sound)

Presentation Issues: 

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled the Men in Black show playlist for tomorrow's screening (had to reach out to Deluxe about sending us the keys to play it -- keys were apparently on hold so I've reached out to Desmond to try to resolve the matter with the booking); keys were uploaded and ingested

Trailer Updates: "BebesKids_V2" was transferred to theater 3 for the Men in Black screening

Special Events/ AV set up: 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Received two Men in Black DCPs in addition to drives for The Goonies and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Brought all outgoing DCP drives to the UPS store

Print/video Inspection: Cristina asked to take a look at No Way Out so I ran the first reel (the only one that has been inspected) and focused the image as sharply as I could but it still looks a little soft the way some older prints tend to; also took note of volume levels for both processors and wrote those on the index card attached to the print

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.
