NPP Projection Report 3/28 Open

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: T3 server went down during preshow for the second round Hoppers . I refreshed the IMS page and got the 404 error pretty much simultaneously with the call from MOD that the volume hadn't changed for the trailers. I killed the lamp right away, power cycled, then just started the movie once everything was back on. This delayed the movie 6 minutes in total, causing a manual start for the next round. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Scheduled Super Mario and Drama shows. The Drama DCP is transferred to Theater 4 for the Monday viewing. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Pieces of April went well. No brightness issues with either projector. The print is rewound for tomorrow. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): The version of Dead Lover ingested last night was a VF with the closed captions only, the OV still needed to be ingested which I did this morning. All good now. Outgoing/Shipping (co...

NPP Projection Close 3/26

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: At the start of the feature during the second round in theater 1 ( Project Hail Mary at 5:45PM) the masking began covering the screen instead of opening to its 2:1 setting. MODs called and I manually triggered the 2:1 cue, fortunately only a minute or so had passed, and the curtains moved to the correct position. I double checked the playlists and there were no missing or incorrect cues. It looked like the curtains had moved in over the image too, not even staying at 1.85 like during the pre show, but had changed to a narrower setting. This film plays in theater 2 next so I will keep an eye on it then to see if its masking is affected as well and update accordingly (update: no issue with the masking in theater 2) Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ran loops in 1 for the  Swordfish  screening this evening + brought a chair and mic stand down and checked the spots in 7 for the private event ...

NPP Projection Report 3/25 Admin

To do this evening/ was completed: Ingest Mr. Nobody Against Putin and Revelations of Divine Love . Convert Snowy Bing Bongs to DCP. Build and schedule the Stranger By The Lake  and Super Mario Galaxy playlists when their preshows are downloaded/ingested. For tomorrow/Friday: They Will Kill You has a 2.20:1 aspect ratio in the standard flat container. -Nothing we haven't dealt with before, but we're going to have to reset masking presets as we adjusted them for Undertone's 2.12:1 aspect ratio. -I think we should just set the 2.20 masking presets (and Variable Ratio in 3 and 7) back to the true 2.20 and present Undertone (which is probably close to leaving us anyway) in this masking, so there will be some black on the sides for the remaining  Undertone shows. -I already set the Variable Ratio preset to 2.20 in T3 since I put the They Will Kill You staff screening in there tomorrow. Presentation Issues: Cleaning lights didn't go off at the start of the first presho...
