Projection Report 2/27



Presentation Issues: there was a literal last-minute race to get the KDMs for Goodfellas, which were not delivered to us until about a half hour before the start of preshow. This was a pretty crazy situation, but it all worked out. Thank you to Dylan S, Mascha, John, and Matthew for all having a hand in getting Warner Bros and Deluxe to talk to each other and get us the keys.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: made A1 playlists for Greta, Sound Of Music, and Into The SpiderVerse. I also scheduled all shows for Friday & Saturday where possible.

** received new KDMs for Bohemian Rhapsody and Sound Of Music. These have been ingested.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: GOODFELLAS special event. Once we got the KDMs, this went fine. The DCP looked and sounded excellent. We did not receive the intro slide, however, so I built some black into the playlist and Nick gave his intro in front of that. All good.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): waiting on Birds Of Passage DCP for this weekend

** we received a "new" version of A Star Is Born — the "Encore" version, which apparently has bonus footage and other stuff attached to it. Did we book this or is it an accident?

*** Free Solo needs to be re-ingested to the TMS. I only caught this after already sending a bunch of stuff out for Fri/Sat, so, I have left the drive sitting at the foot of the TMS rack, ready to ingest first thing tomorrow.

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...
