NPP Projection Report 1/26 Close

To do this evening/ was completed: RRR with Dolby Atmos sound files was ingested to theater 3 this afternoon. This CPL was tested in between rounds and there is no crackling or static coming from the speakers. I removed the 5.1 files from the TMS and updated the show playlists with Atmos CPLs which were also transferred to theater 1 from theater 3

Presentation Issues: Quite a few technical issues with the film and digital projectors in theater 1 this evening; the lamp in projector 1 was not striking which forced us to turn the breaker inside the machine on and off again (after having inspected the lamp house for other potential fixes) in order to get it back in working order. There was no picture at the start of the second round in this auditorium due to a "ballast communication" failure. Lillian would be better equipped to explain this in detail since she was able to troubleshoot the issue after a few hard reboots and reconfiguring some wires on the panel on the side of the machine. For whatever reason the microphone did not work at all during Cristina's introduction of Action Jackson despite the cues being triggered in the show playlist and my manually switching between sound formats in order to establish some connection between the mic and the processor; she was able to finish without the mic and I tested each one individually after the show to no avail -- I wonder if a hard reboot of the processor would fix this

Preshow Clips/Playlist: 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Action Jackson screening went smoothly despite my needing to raise the volume from 7 to 10 in order to compensate for how muted the mono soundtrack was with guests present; the print was left tails out beneath the make up table in theater 1 and is ready for re-inspection

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.
