NPP Projection Open 3/12



To do this evening/ was completed: Started the day by troubleshooting the cable box connectivity issues Will mentioned last night. Eventually reconfigured the HDMI connections in 4/6 per Alec's description, which gave me an image on screen. However, the image quickly froze and I ran through an extensive troubleshoot that ultimately did not resolve the the cable box issues. The box was essentially powercycling itself over and over endlessly. After speaking with Verizon Tech Support, they determined that the box was experiencing total failure and that it needed to be replaced. Luckily Matthew was on hand and promptly retrieved the new box from a pickup center. After some more time on the phone with tech support, the new box started to work properly. I ran a quick test on screen before round two in T1 and also tested the floater laptop directly connected to the projector via HDMI. Both methods worked well so we should be good to go. 

Changed the Verizon password during this process, and that has been updated in the notes app. Also created a new secret question "Who is your childhood best friend?" The answer is "Sam", also in the notes app.

The old cable box is inside of the packaging for the new one--we need to hold on to this for now as we'll be returning the defective box very soon.

Presentation Issues: Animated Shorts were scheduled for round two in T6 when it should've been Live Action. Ejected the playlist three minutes into the feature presentation and quickly loaded the right CPL.

T4 Christie had lost connection to PIB when I got in this morning. Power cycled the projector and everything went green. Tested some content to be sure it was functioning properly.

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.
