NPP Projection Blog

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Theater 6 is down. The projector is unable to establish a connection with the server. I tried putting in our back up IMS, but the projector still could not establish a connection. After discussing with Jerry at length we think it's a Christie problem, so I pulled logs from the projector and sent them. Waiting to hear back. DMS is also checking if they can provide us with an emergency replacement for tomorrow. Preshow Clips/Playlist: McKegg ran through the NewFest playlists for tonight and made a few small adjustments. There was no babies playlist scheduled in T2 today. I noticed after it started so I adjusted things manually. I feel like this happens almost every week, so let's build this every Tuesday when the film schedule comes out and be sure to schedule it. We do these every week so it should be routine. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I set 2.00 masking back in T1 for the NewFest program tonight. Ordering...

To do this evening/ was completed: Jack has been having some medical hiccups today, so I stayed on to run the screenings (especially seeing as how Will called in sick, too). I let Jack go home a little early as he's got a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I've checked in with MOD to let them know that I'll be remoting in for the rest of the evening. Notes on New Fest below. I am heading out tonight at 10:15. Presentation Issues: ONE NOTE: I got a call for You Can See Everything last round in T3 tonight that the masking did not execute for 1.33 in T3. For the life of me, I cannot remember if we've got any other ratio programmed in there atm for either a previous first run or a New Fest show, but this should be a quick fix in the morning (I am little too sleepy to do this at the end of tonight). I'm assuming the masking preset just needs to be written again, or perhaps it was just a random hiccup. I manually adjusted it super fast, so it's fine for the rest of t...

To do this evening/ was completed: Several manual starts required this afternoon since playlists were stacked and rounds were beginning and ending back to back Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Vampire's Kiss screening this afternoon went well.

To do this evening/ was completed: I think it's time to come up with a different solution for ADA in T2 for that section of seats (which will hopefully result in being able to take out individual chairs, which I think we can do). Took the three out and Wyatt brought up chairs from the bar for the other patrons next to the folk that needed the seat out. We did this swiftly, all things considered, but it would be nice to finally have a more aesthetically pleasing/comfortable solution.  Closed captioning device taken out and put back.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: NF all set, but we'll go over things Monday.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Received the T4T mixer slide. I'll take a look on Monday.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Received and ingested Ginger Snaps to the LMS.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue shee...

To do this evening/ was completed: Vampire's Kiss went smoothly. Rewound for tomorrow. One note about the print, or projector one: had to refocus on projector one at least once during each reel. Just a heads up. Continued on with converting DarkRoom shorts to Share drive. Finished building 10/23 A1 playlists. Note about Fjord : The CCAP DCP subtitles the English dialogue on-screen.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Tried and failed to tech The Addams Family between rounds in theater 2 earlier this evening; keys were on a hold from Deluxe so I reached out to John and Jeffrey (update: Deluxe emailed the keys around 10:45PM. I tech'd the feature content after the final round ended and added a lights up cue at the start of the credits) Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Tossed a bunch of unused/unwanted trivia posters and first run titles we will not be opening + threw away a couple of foam board standees from past events this month and last Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Marquee updated?: Posters updated?: Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes Projection cart by entrance?: Additional Notes:
