NPP Projection Report 12/25 Admin

To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: Filtered air intake alarm in theater 2 (10:11:03 AM) + light half life exceeded alarm in this same auditorium -- these had no effect but is something we can be mindful of as it continues to get colder out/in booth 2; Jess alerted me that she had to turn off the A/C units in booths 4/6 to allow some heat to be redirected to the server station in theater 2 (these spaces are on the same cooling/heating system) but that she will make a note to turn them back on so our booths don't overheat -- it is warmer than usual in the 4/6 booth and all projectors are operating normally (update: the A/Cs were turned back on around 4:45PM)

I thought Babylon sounded too low in theater 2 this afternoon (I figured it was due to the larger than usual crowd soaking up the volume) but once I brought it up to 5.0 from 4.5 the speakers began crackling as the audio peaked so I turned it back down to 4.5 -- I think Alec or Lillian had mentioned this was a loud film but I underestimated how precariously balanced the mix was (some scenes sound like a whisper when put up against some of the more active/score driven ones)

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Downloaded and ingested new generic and custom pre-show content for M3gan, a trailer for Action Jackson, and updated forecasts for 12/30

Built show playlists for 12/30 for all first run PG and PG-13 titles (also made pre-show playlists for M3gan and A Man Called Otto which will both need feature content once it is available) and downloaded the Broker trailer from EclairPlay to be used in the "R" rated trailer packs (Skinamarink is tentatively listed in this pack but is unavailable on the EclairPlay server)

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.
