Projection Close 9/13



To do this evening/ was completed: We received the print of The Godfather Part 3 this evening and, unfortunately, it suffers from pretty extreme vinegar syndrome--which normally wouldn't worry me too much (a blue image we can get away with)--but the print is structurally off to a large degree with intense warping. The print does not sit safely on reels, nor is it easy to transfer. I notified Desmond, John and sent information to the distro to see what we can do when we're this down to the wire. I wish we had received this print earlier in the week, but we'll figure it out! 

Decided to say 'goodbye' to that DCP of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants because that file was not looking hugely acceptable, at least to me. Impossible to fid a BluRay of it, but I did see that Park Circus distributed a new 35mm print for a screening at the AC this past June, which I notified Desmond/John of to see if it might be possible for us to get that print. 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Raised the volume for the Downton Abbey playlists. Film is a little quiet in some scenes. Hung around theatre 2 during a screening to make sure everything sounded good. 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Started DCPing NoBudge 47#. The short film Sweater has been DCPd and ingested to the LMS. No Rush is currently transcoding in 4/6. The short film Night Milk is transcoding in T1 to the George Ivan drive.

NPP Projection Open 12/28

To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled 1/3 - 1/9 in LMS. A few manual starts in there. I scheduled those shows just a minute or two after their real start time to get the content transferred, just FYI. Started building the cue sheets as well. Got the first three days done. SE screenings went smoothly.

NPP Projection Admin (Lillian/Will) 7/7

To do this evening/ was completed: Leon Chase for Hank's Saloon came by to tech his film today. He's super happy with the outcome of his DCP and is really, really excited about the screening.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Buena Vista Social Club is just about sorted for this evening -the hosts did not respond to our request for a good quality video of the Tony Awards performance that we could download, so I found it on YouTube and let them know. I made a DCP, which will likely sound good between 3.5 - 4.5, but we'll have 15min to tech it before we open doors for the show!  Superman playlists built - I swapped out the atmos file that was first ingested and got the regular 7.1 in there! Hanks Saloon playlist built Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received posters for Lurker and Pavements and placed them behind 3/7 Ordering/Receiving (content): Downloaded and ingested the Superman pre-show Sorry, Baby i...

Projection Admin 9/8 Lillian/Will

To do this evening/ was completed: Double confirmed with Chris and folks that the print of Vicious Lips is, in fact, Vampire Lovers. They are in the process of sending Cyborg. I took the Vicious Lips trailer out of the playlists that had them, which we'll replace with Cyborg once it's available.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the playlist for Higher Learning .  Trailer Updates: ^ as per the above, we'll be getting the Cyborg trailer and updated version of the Forecast_A for 9/12 sometime tonight.  Special Events/ AV set up: We got the PA system with wireless mics setup for the show tonight in T2. I went through all the pieces of content for the drag performance(s) and confirmed sound/adjusted a few levels for the music, some of which were way too loud. I double checked/techd the lighting cues and wrote the info into the event memo for easy access (not everything seems to be accurate on the sheet, which I will update on Wednesday). Additionally, I upda...
