NPP Projection Close 10/15

To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: Carly radioed this evening that the screen was white in between rounds of The Exorcist: Believer in theater 3 (this occurred around 8:15PM) 

I checked on it, noted that the dowser was closed but that light was still getting through, opened and closed it again and, after a few moments of darkness, saw the light pop up

After experimenting with a couple test patterns, trying and failing to close the dowser while these were on screen, stopping them, then trying again to open and close the dowser without any image up but still seeing the light, I concluded that it is probably the dowser itself that needs to be serviced and/or replaced

Note: this was not having any effect on the pre-show or the feature, according to the server in the theater during the prior round (who also mentioned he'd seen something similar happen in between rounds in theater 2 the other day), but I stayed in the auditorium after the start of the next round's pre show to see if there was any light bleeding or distortion to the picture, but could not see anything out of the ordinary



Preshow Clips/Playlist: Downloaded and ingested all "Generic_Scorsese" pre-show content (update: the "25 min" file failed to ingest; reached out to Kat about it) + built Killers of the Flower Moon SPLs for next week (used a generic 5min NPP welcome slide to fill time at the top of the pre-show)

Trailer Updates:

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.
