NPP Projection Close 12/18

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Tech'd the light cues and music with Desmond and the performers prior to the pre-show. The actual performance went just fine save for a few moments where I had to toggle the wash lights and/or spots on and off for dramatic effect. This seemed to cause a malfunction specifically with the wash lights where a red wash got stuck on screen between transitions. I also did not realize no spaces between the performances were built into the show to allow for the host to intro the next performers so I paused/played and skipped ahead manually. Batman Returns  feature content played without any issue and all gear used was put back in storage after the show  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Disclosure Day teaser posters were delivered and stored behind 3/7 Ordering/Receiving (content): Lost Highway and The Face of Another prints were delivered this aftern...

To do this evening/ was completed: The school screening for Avatar 3 has been confirmed for tomorrow morning. This has been scheduled on the LMS.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: I made the playlists for Arthur Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Setup the wireless mics (they mentioned needing 1 but I figured 2 might be better) for the Drag show tonight. Speakers are set, yamaha mixer, and I brought the wireless mic receiver into T2 and set the channels to the room. The mics are currently charging. Please remember to turn everything on before the show, including the front panels on the wireless mic mixer! Also, for the spots/washes needed, I wrote down the exact bank and scene combos on the event memo so you don't have to go looking for them on the sheet, though everything you need is there.  And, much to our relief, we got the keys for Batman Returns . I techd this  (a long with the new slides) and upda...

NPP Projection Close 12/17

To do this evening/ was completed: Built the rest of the 12/26 A1 playlists (excluding Is This Thing On?). Was not able to schedule 12/26 - 1/1. Cyberslime DCP ingested to LMS. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory went smoothly. Print packaged back up. Somehow the playlist seemingly unpaused itself during McKegg's intro and moved on to the trailer. I caught it immediately but it still caused a minor hiccup. Not sure how that happened. Right before this I did get the warning that the Shutdown playlist was about to start (as it automatically schedules itself five minutes after last playlist), but usually the current paused playlist doesn't move on to shutdown. Idk. T7 equipment broken down after event. Mics beneath screen. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The private event in T7 went well. The Q&A ended up getting canceled, they did the intro and performance with no issues. New mic mixer arrived, I placed it in Theater 6 so...
