NPP Projection Admin 2/13

To do this evening/ was completed: Juan, Vlad and co. installed two switches in T2, inside the booth, one to control the spotlights. They also brought the big ladder into T1 to check on the ceiling light we've been having issues with. We ran through several tests, bringing the lights up and down, from cleaning to "up" to "mid" to completely off and were unable to replicate the issue. They told me that the light had been changed very recently and didn't seem to know about a potential systems issue. We then went to T7 and replaced the dead bulb in the ceiling. They also installed an outlet box in 4/6 next to the desk, so we have a good amount of brand new outlets to plug into.

Michael Thorpe stopped by to hand off a drive with his DCP for the private event on Thursday. I tried to locally ingest but the TMS didn't recognize the drive. When I connected it to the desktop I was prompted with a re-format query, which I ignored. Ended up putting the DCP files onto the desktop but couldn't transfer them to DCPII as there wasn't enough space.

Tech'd Decision to Leave--house lights came up too early so I updated the playlist. Also brought the volume down to 4.0 on the Playing Themselves trailer--too loud at 4.2 in T3.

Playlists built for The Best Man and Wings of Desire.

Keys uploaded for the intro and Q&A elements of Fire of Love, and Puss in Boots as well.

Will ran test loops for Love Witch tonight--projectors all set.

Started downloading the remaining film files for the NoBudge program of NSF. 

Presentation Issues: "Override All" button was selected on the T2 processor this afternoon which prevented house lights from triggering at the start of the first round; not sure who/what caused this but the issue was fixed quickly once I got up to the booth to bring the lights down manually (Will)

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Removed the intro slide from the Fire of Love show playlist after corresponding with Cristina about whether or not it was necessary -- sent her a photo of the slide to confirm; the one they sent was for live intros so there was no information on it mentioning staying after the feature for the Q&A -- cue sheets have been updated accordingly (Will)

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

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.
