NPP Projection Admin 1/24 (Jack/Alec)



To do this evening/ was completed: Built playlists for Whale, Skinamarink, Escape from NY and Broker. Scheduled the week in the TMS. Ingested Dr Strangelove and sent it to T2. Re-inspected AI: Artificial Intelligence--ready for outgoing shipping. Just as a reminder: there is a significant dent on one of the shipping cans. Seems like the reels fit comfortably enough but just FYI. 

Not sure I ever officially mentioned this in a blog, but the moving spotlights in Theater 1 can be turned on from the booth. There is a breaker labeled “MOVING SPOTS,” just switch that on for any event we need to use them for, and remember to switch back off when the event is done. (Alec)

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Chenelle dropped off a blu-ray for a private event on 2/21--we'll DCP it soon.

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Bringing out the Dead was picked up.

Print/video Inspection: RRR sound remains a mystery. I tried playing around with a bunch of levels on the channel alignments, turning down the gain on the amps. The crackle was unchanged. Dylan from Variance has been asking around about this and had some general suggestions, most of which Id already tried. I explained everything I tried to DMS and that the distributor is convinced it’s not the DCP (they admit the mix is unusually loud, but doesn’t go into the red), so it’s possible it’s something with the auditorium calibration that we only hear with this film since it gets so loud. The Atmos version of the DCP will be here tomorrow, hopefully it is mixed a bit quieter. (Alec)

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes

Maintenance/cleaning: Looked into the Digital Soundhead in Theater 1 after projector 1 defaulted to SR during each reel which was run on it last night. After adjusting a few things with no luck I conferred with Roger, who from my description inferred the soundhead was broken and suggested I try switching it out. I pulled one of the digital heads off one of the T6 Simplexes and mounted and connected it to the T1 projector. Same exact issue. Will continue speaking with Roger, it must be the wiring. (Alec)

Projection Admin 7/19

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.
