NPP Projection 5/21 Close

To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: The lights issue in theater 4 was resolved(?) after Jack disconnected/connected the power from a circuit board at the rear of the sound rack -- the final rounds played without interruption and all lights stayed down during feature playback

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Added some missing masking/lights cues to the Kill Bill double feature and scheduled it on the TMS

Added missing SPLs to theater 2 on the TMS (not sure if the swapped IMS caused these to be deleted and/or if they were never scheduled to begin with) for the entirety of the day

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Tech'd Kill Bill Vol. 1 and added a lights up cue at the start of the credits to its solo show and double feature screening (not enough disk space to transfer Vol. 2 to theater 1 so the former will need to be deleted following its solo show on 5/25)

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested keys for Band of Outsiders, Hit Man, Furiosa, and Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2, in addition to the rest of our first run titles

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: A/C unit in booths 3/7 went down this afternoon and could not be successfully power cycled (switches were on + the door was left open beside the lobby bar to ventilate the warm air)

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Double checked + initialed

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

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. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey all. So McKegg had some issues with the masking last night and there's no issues with any of the cues, breakers, or wiring on the rack. What happened is that some of the ethernet cables on the IMB got rearranged by accident when DMS was in. Everything's working just fine.  Please see maintenance notes about 35mm trailers below.  Presentation Issues: First round in T6 paused about two seconds after it started to automate (when I checked the playlist). MOD called up to let me know and I fast forwarded 3 min in.  Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled staff screenings for Indiana Jones 5 . I tech'd volume/image/got a good look at credits to make sure everything's accurate--noted the missing preshow content from Jack/McKegg's blog, but the preshow part of the playlists had been built and some were scheduled.  Can I ask that we don't put another preshow in the playlist as filler before receiving accurate content? This reall
