NPP Projection Close 10/12

To do this evening/ was completed: Will inspected Devil and the Deep earlier. Scheduled coming week in LMS sans Fjord (still waiting on feature to arrive) and SE playlists. Built the playlists for You Can See Everything with generic preshow in place of the 5min YCSE preshow piece, which should be available on Wednesday. Re-started DCP for Edward Scissorhands on T1 Mac . It's going to the George Ivan drive, should be finished tomorrow evening. Urgh! print went pretty smoothly. For some reason the HDMI lens cue didn't fire properly so I had to hit it manually. Broke down equipment afterward. **A note about CP500: When I turned on the 500, the front display screen didn't really turn on, it wasn't showing anything. I turned the 500 off and back and on and for a while it was the same thing, nothing displayed on the screen. I left the booth to go work on something else and came back a few minutes later and finally the screen was with all of the soundtrack options displayed.**...

NPP Projection Close 10/11

To do this evening/ was completed: A few leaks in T2 booth along the brick wall, coming from cracks in the brick/sediment. Nothing too bad, I put a few towels down even though the water wasn't touching the ground mostly. Kept an eye on it throughout the night and both leaks have pretty much dried out. Projector equipment dry. Held off once again on scheduling outbound shipping for a print. Express Saver priced above $300 so waiting to hear back on what's preferred. It looks like the Edward Scissorhands DCP may have froze/glitched out in T1, because it says it's still going and will be done yesterday. Going to give it the night and restart it if it's indeed totally frozen.

Projection Admin 10/10

To do this evening/ was completed: FYI I updated the vacant cue section for the print report of Little Shop of Horrors. Please add more info for the first reel if and when you can.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist:  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Little Shop of Horrors went well (and to a large, large crowd of mostly kiddos), but please be aware that this print has been run through several times and likely not properly taken care of. Make your loop sizes ever so slightly larger tomorrow (this is what I do for acetate prints that are pretty beat up, just so it can breathe more).  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Received the preshow (sent as holding slide, but it is, in fact, preshow slides) for Death Spin 2 private event on 10/31. DCP'd. Please ingest once it's done.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Forwarded volume info to Rachel/Galen for Mickey and I Am Going To Miss You. ...

NPP Projection Report 10/9 Close

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up:  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested You Can See Everything to the LMS Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes, added November titles. Maintenance/cleaning: Started a new poster archive tube with the latest releases and added some posters to the trivia section. Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes, tomorrow is all set. Was able to get a head start on 10/16 cue sheets. You Can See Everything weekend shows are already on sale and with the feature in I made the formula and filled those out. Also filled in brunches and NewFest events during the week. Credit offset is missing for the NewFest features on this schedule without Q&As ( Tiger and I Am Going to Miss You ), and Addams Family is just preshow timing for now since we don't have the feature. ...
