NPP Projection Close 8/4

To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Spider-Man 7/31 show playlists were missing a volume cue change following the 3.3 dip for the book advertisement/trailer; MOD radioed and I raised the volume and adjusted the playlists accordingly

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Finished setting up for trivia at Trees

WTO/99 screening and Q&A went well; John Woods assisted with chairs and mics and had the panel wrap on schedule

The Odyssey in 35mm played without issue; cleaned the projector and platter and covered the print after the show (notes below about damage to the platter brain)

As I was cleaning up after the 35mm show in theater 4, I accidentally dropped the brain while moving between platters and, unfortunately, the column at its base beneath the rollers took on some damage that kept me from placing it back in its normal place at the center of the platter. I grabbed the spare from booth 1 and tested this in 4 to make sure it was functional. Thankfully the brain sits flush on the platter and its sensor is also working, allowing for the platters to spin normally. I took some photos of the damage. The rest of the piece is intact, no rollers took on any damage, and hopefully we can make the most of the spare for the time being

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...

NPP Projection Report 11/23 Open

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Checked the Home Alone DCP ahead of the private event this morning, no issues. The party was a bit late seating, so the movie start was a little bit delayed. Overall it ran smoothly. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Kat will be making a DCP of Guardians of the Galaxy tomorrow for the private event in T1 on Tuesday morning. Chenelle will get the blu-ray sent over here for us to have as backup. I set up the blu-ray player so it's connected to both the monitor and the projector, in case we end up needing to use the blu-ray. I sent Lillian and McKegg an email about this separately. I checked the scope blu-ray projector channel in Theater 1 and it's good to go should we need to screen the blu-ray. I started the DCP of Death Race 2000 on the T1 Mac. Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking d...

NPP Projection Close 9/6

To do this evening/ was completed: Built more SE playlists: Godfather III, Triplets of Belville, Tropic Thunder (SAT), Mimic, Sundays on Fire, Thelma and Louise.  Made a DCP of Ramona Slick's song for the Thelma show. I couldn't locate the Curtain Call/Breakdown DCP Alec made when searching for "curtain call", so I went through the transfer history and saw that it had been ingested. Nevertheless when I searched for it it wouldn't appear. So I dragged into the Share folder and didn't receive any message about the file already existing there. Re-ingested. Went to inspect Vicious Lips but it turns out that we were sent a different print inside of cans labeled "Vicious Lips". The print is a movie called The Vampire Lovers. I looked at the first two reels while I watched Vampire Lovers on Dailymotion and it's for sure the same film. Emailed Cristina. Rain continued on this evening so I was not able to change the marquee back on the brunch side. I did...
