Projection Report 2/15



Presentation Issues: Nada

Preshow Clips/Playlist: built the WILLY WONKA playlist for the weekend. There was no end credit offset information on Deluxe, so I added a little black at the end of the playlist to make the lights-up process a bit more gradual.

** scheduled shows for Saturday through Thursday. Deleted a ton of stuff from the servers to make room for incoming shows (including Glass and Capernaum, which ended their runs today) Be on the lookout for manual starts . . .

Trailer Updates: Matthew asked for Fighting With My Family to be added to the trailer pack when we have the opportunity

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): received posters for THE WEDDING GUEST and THE MUSTANG. Not sure if we're showing these. Posters are still in tubes in booth 3/7.

Ordering/Receiving (content): received the drive for FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY. It has been ingested to TMS, ready for next weekend (file is 'FightingWithFa'...). Drive is now stored away in the drive pile.

** KDMs were expired for both Cold War and Shoplifters. I e-mailed Eclair and got some new ones sent over. We should be all good for the week now.

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Carried some outgoing drives over to the UPS drop

Print/video Inspection: I did QCs for BLACK PANTHER, EVERYBODY KNOWS, and WILLY WONKA. All three films look and sound great on screen. Playlists have appropriate volume cues.

Distro Doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: the desk lamps seem to have gone out in booth 4/6. I went looking for a spare lightbulb but turned up empty handed (MODs also seemed to not know where these are). Anybody know where the extra bulbs might be?

Cue sheets updated (only if needed): I made the cue sheets for Saturday through Thursday

Showtime boards & recording updated?: removed Glass and Capernaum from the outside marquee, put up Everybody Knows. Also: on the north side of the marquee, I took down "Now Open" and replaced it with "Black Panther / This Weekend" in the hopes of catching some foot traffic. Matthew and I spoke a bit about plans for where things will be going on the marquee starting next week.

** Removed Capernaum from outside posters, replaced it with Greta. Moved CLIMAX into the lobby case

Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes

Additional Notes: Matthew arrived with some director's chairs. They are now stored behind the curtain in theater 2.

I scheduled those shows just a minute or two after their real start time to get the content transferred, just FYI. Started building the cue sheets as well. Got the first three days done. SE screenings went smoothly.

Projection Admin (and Close) 10/19

To do this evening/ was completed: Real quick - It was a great day! For tonight, I've let MOD know that, since I'm more comfortable staying until most of the last round starts (due to some funky server issues we've been having), I'm going to go see a movie in T2 and can silently text with them if they need anything or should anything go wrong (knocking on wood).  Extremely thrilled to say that all three NewFest shows went very well this morning/afternoon. It was definitely a bit of a magic trick with some overlapping intros/Q&As but having my personal ROS helped so much. Thank you to Desmond, NewFest rockstar.  Desmond and I double checked all shows before doors. Gaffed the wired mics and tested everything. Since one guest for the q&a in T2 wasn't comfortable with the chairs, we swapped our directors chairs for the ones in the bar, which still worked super well with the slides and spots.  Had to ride the mic in trees a bit since everyone's got a differen...

NPP Projection Report 4/6 Open

To do this evening/ was completed: Theater 3 issue happened again, Carly radioed me that the second round preshow didn't start. I was able to restart the projector and put the preshow on about 12 minutes before lights down. Trailers/feature played fine after that. I wrote again to DMS and Jerry said he'll have a list of parts to replace on Monday. For the sake of clarity, here is everything I've gathered about this issue: -When it happens, you won't be able to control playback via the TMS, manually fire automation cues, or access the IMS web GUI at all -Schedules for Theater 3 will display as "KDM missing" and the storage health icon on the Overview page will say "Storage degraded," even though the storage is healthy and KDMs have been uploaded and are active. -This issue prevents the server from validating KDMs (even though they are there and valid), so encrypted content will not play with the server in this state. If the projector goes into this st...
