Friday 12/16/2022 CLOSE -Chris-



To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: I think you guys may have weak speaker in T2, hard overdrive buzz heard during a typically bombastic scene in Avatar: WoW! in which the villain-type space cats are firing grenades at the hero-type space cats. This scene really shows off the issue as they're firing screen-left-to-right so when the grenade hits the 7.1 surround plays it mostly off the rear right corner of the room and the problem child is one of the units up there. Couldn't quite discern which it was from behind the last row. The scene in question is roughly contained within the 1hr 22min-26min marks in the feature should anyone want to give it a listen. Sorry for the wasted read if you're already aware of this.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Modified the PG_122122 trailer pack to include a 4.5 vol cue for the Spiderverse trailer I saw the current SPLs were using. Don't know if you guys have tech'd the Barbie teaser yet but I have it currently set to switch back to the standard Vol 4.0 for Barb after Spiderverse's trailer.

-Alec mentioned he thought the volume cue for Avatar: WoW! was too low at 5.5 and that he'd manually taken the show currently playing when I arrived to 5.8, after listening to both I think he was correct and have set the feature volume cue for 5.8 across all 4 Avatar SPLs. I took the last round in T1 to 6.0  and thought it sounded great so you may want to set it even higher if y'all concur.

-Built A1_Pinocchio_122222 (and it's OCAP equivalent) according to the trailer list

-Did the same for Strange World. Would've built the R-rated SPLs but we lack the Skinamarink trailer.

-Built a bare-bones SPL for Puss In Boots 2 (that one looks... bad italicized), still needs preshow content and feature cues.

-Checked the PG13 122222 feature SPLs agains the trailer doc, looks good.

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.
