To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: The house lights issue in theater 4 continues to provide its share of trouble as the light control switches inside the booth are still malfunctioning (the switch to trigger cleaning lights brings them down and vice versa) and only the two middle fixtures turn on during the pre-show (pictured below) + we need to bring up the lights manually at the end of each round since the cleaning lights cues are not being triggered in the SPLs/functional in this room 

Ran some tests this morning and show playlist content is unhindered but we are still gambling with the rogue ceiling panel at the rear of the auditorium (Paul said an electrician was coming in to disconnect the light but there has been no update on this as of yet) **update: two electricians arrived just before the start of the first round, disconnected the bulb, and asked to bring up the cleaning lights to see if it worked but for obvious reasons we could not, no flicker as of this writing)



**update: the ceiling light in 4 began flickering during the first round...it turned off after a few moments but I seriously do not understand what is causing this and have no means of fixing it

T6 went offline again with an hour remaining in the first round (feature playback was unaffected by this but there was a negative flip between rounds which only added to the delay from the reboot...MODs were made aware...) but after rebooting the projector I was able to start the following round manually via the IMS page and skip ahead in the pre-show

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Tech'd Spider-Man: Far From Home in theater 2 this morning and it looks and sounds fine (not a very large crowd for this tonight so, if anything, the volume could probably be lowered slightly once the feature gets underway)

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.
