NPP Projection Close 10/1

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I brought the spots board back up to the booth for the John Wilson Q&A in theater 1 and reconnected it there to avoid operating the lights from the side of the screen.  The History of Concrete screening and talkback went just fine save for the ten or so minutes they went over taking audience questions which immediately cut into the STB event starting on schedule with its near two hundred guests waiting outside the auditorium. I brought the spots board back down, reconnected it for the STB hosts, and was alerted to the wash lights malfunctioning. Took a couple of runs up and down from booth 1 and messing with the buttons on the board itself before I realized the "left" and "center" spotlight breaker switches were left off despite Lillian's blog stating these could be kept on. I am not sure why these were off. I also did not know these pr...

To do this evening/ was completed: Adjusted the playlist ever so slightly for John Wilson tonight, just to make it smoother. We're all set for this show, just grab two chairs when the time comes.  FOH meeting went well, cleaned up afterwards.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the playlist for Color of Money and ingested some missing preshow content.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Set up Spoons for tonight. All the equipment will just need to be turned on. Also, when breaking down we only need to switch off the "Moving Spots" breaker since those fixtures make noise when they're on. The "Center" and "Left Spotlight" breakers can stay on. Also, we can use the switcher to switch between HDMI sources (cable and stage) in Theater 1 and Theater 2. No need to move the cables connected to the receivers on the wall. The switcher is on top of the CP750 in both booths, pictured below: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):...

NPP Projection Close 9/30

To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled the rest of Your Mother x3, excluding the Sunday Q&A show. Inspected all of Little Shop of Horrors. The beginning of the first reel is very damaged, basically every few frames taped up with a lot of tears left unrepaired. I taped them up as best as I could and I think the reel will run smoothly but be aware. Also put Eternal Evil of Asia on house reels. Converted The Demon Bird to DCP, can ingest tomorrow. Both SE screenings went smoothly tonight.

NPP Projection Close 9/28

To do this evening/ was completed: No update on the bird situation, at least as of 10 pm. Scheduled first four days of coming week in LMS, excluding Your Mother x3, which still needs a playlist. Built and scheduled both Gotham Shorts programs. *Note*: I could not find the last short for Program 1, We're Not Done Yet. I see it was tech'd and probably I'm overlooking it but right now it's not in the playlist so we need to be sure to add it tomorrow. Zeism went smoothly. We ended up skipping the intro. DJ equipment broken down at the end of the night.  **The last intact Captiview device is no longer intact, the bottom clamp is fully detached from the rest of it.** Took down old brunch and 35mm letters, new brunch letters up. 35mm coming soon. **Got a call from MOD about the showtime display board not showing everything. 3/7 Lenovo computer was pretty much unresponsive save for some program that I couldn't really use (this program was not on the regular home screen but ...
