NPP Projection Close 11/5

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Noticed the house lights were up at pre-show levels as the feature was starting during the second round in theater 6. I caught sight of this about two minutes into the film as I was bringing a guest a closed captioning device. Brought the lights down manually. Later realized the show was ending ten minutes ahead of schedule which led me find the trailer pack had been skipped over. Earlier round this afternoon did not have this issue but it is something I will continue to keep an eye on (update: there was no further issue with trailer pack playback during the final round in this auditorium) Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Set up 1.66 lenses and plates for the American Movie screening tomorrow afternoon + left the 1.37 lenses beside the projectors on microfiber cloths so they can be swapped out for Seven Samurai later in the evening Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received a poster fo

NPP Projection Close 11/4

To do this evening/ was completed: All events went smoothly this evening. T2 mics brought back to the booth. Village of the Damned print went well. A Searchlight rep/point of contact person asked that I delete the Nightbitch keys even though they expired shortly after the screening, so I did that. One slight note about T2 nonsync connection when using the rack PC: the wifi connection goes in and out so sometimes your music won't load if you're using Spotify or Youtube. Just an fyi. Ingested Commandant's Shadow, To Sleep With Anger and La Strada to TMS. T3 filtered air intake warning, T4 light change recommended warning at the end of the night.

To do this evening/ was completed: Shows all set for tonight. See notes below.  *Sent out an email for a staff screening of American Movie , this Wednesday.* Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Since we apparently only received an evening KDM for Nightbitch tonight, I asked if they could send an earlier one for tech check today just to make sure everything looks good. I brought the chairs for the Q&A into T2. 3 chairs, 3 wireless mics needed. Chenelle and I looked at the slide and feature once we received the tech KDM. Everything looks and sounds good and for the intro and Q&A, I programmed over the spots setting I had down for the HBO event during NewFest, just to tailer it to this new slide and its features. Just made little tweaks. We took photos of everything to send to their people and the settings i've added to the event memo, but for what it's worth - INTRO spots are 603 and Q&A spots are 703. . xlr for

NPP Projection Close 11/3

To do this evening/ was completed: Took down outgoing marquee letters, put up new brunch letters. All NoBudge42 shorts ingested and transferred to T1. Credit times for Gods of Time Square were off, listed as ending a lot earlier than they should actually occur. The film is 115 minutes and if it starts at 7:15 should conclude at 9:10, which will necessitate a manual start for the next round.

To do this evening/ was completed: Spent part of the morning rescheduling all the show playlists on the TMS for the rest of the week since daylight savings threw off the system + double checked times on the cue sheets to make sure everything lined up Presentation Issues: A few shows started an hour early this morning due to the daylight savings shift so I had to stop everything before pulling these playlists back an hour for the remainder of the day (the theater was closed so only the servers and MODs were taken aback by the sudden start) Preshow Clips/Playlist: Continued converting NoBudge shorts to DCP (converted  Grey Day and It's All Happening ) and saved them to the Almodovar drive Built a show playlist for the private Nightbitch event tomorrow (note: the slide is only 20 seconds so it will have to remain paused for the duration of the preshow as the music plays on Spotify and up until the hosts are ready for their intro at 7PM -- after the slide fades out the film will begin)
