NPP Projection Admin 1/23



To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled the coming week in TMS and built the cue sheets. Please double-check if you have time.

Double-checked Analyze This playlist, all good.

Uploaded new keys for Wonka, Poor Things and Mean Girls. Wasn't able to upload T7-specific keys, so if someone could do that soon much appreciated.

**We don't have new Iron Claw keys yet. Current ones expiring after Thursday night screenings, the 5.1 keys I mean. 7.1 expire after Friday night.

Tech'd all 2/5 NoBudge shorts with Desmond and built a playlist with all cues included (SE_NoBudge_020524). Reset our 1.78 masking in T1 afterward as it was a bit too tight.

Just a few notes about the NoBudge shorts: The DCP for Normal Guys is listed at 1.78 but it's actually about a 1.60 ratio, so there will be some pillarboxing. The first Telling George short is letterboxed in 1.78. Also our 1.37/1.33 masking leaves a small amount of pillarboxing on each side of the frame. I did not have time to investigate it today as the theater was soon to open up for the first round. Could be something to look into before the program.

Also throughout the tech there was a sporadic popping noise coming from multiple speakers, but mostly in the front of house. These pops occurred during different shorts at different times We rewound the content to see if we could replicate the noises but they were not synced to sound mixes, instead occurring randomly.

Chenelle dropped off two Blu-rays for private events, one of them being Paddington 2, which we still have our DCP of. This can get ingested to T6 tonight or sometime later this week. The other blu-ray is Airplane.

Downloaded and ingested all content for Hudson's Birthday (private event 1/28) to T6. When downloading the feature, Teen Titans, the download paused itself a few times, saying the internet connection went out. I just clicked resume download when this happened, and the content ingested without issue. I only mention this to be thorough, and we should check out many segments of the film during tech.

Here's a recap for everyone of all our current technical issues and pending solutions:
Theater 2: Schedules not showing up on TMS, auto-ingests not being triggered ahead of scheduled shows.*
Theater 3: Schedules not showing up on TMS, auto-ingests not being triggered ahead of scheduled shows.*Chris from DMS was supposed to have checked on these two (and Th7) remotely, waiting to hear what he found if anyhting.
-Reinstallation of our 2215 projector.
Theater 4: Replacement douser still not working. If you have any suggestions I would take another crack at it, but I'm sure I put it in correctly and the douser open/close commands on the touch panel still did nothing.
-LampLOC sensor is broken, cannot run light change wizard when lamp is eventually changed.
Theater 6: New IMS3 to be installed. This is on it's way to us
Theater 7: Schedules not showing up on TMS, auto-ingests not being triggered ahead of scheduled shows.
-New IMS3 to be installed. Also on it's way.

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.
