Projection Report 3/1



Presentation Issues: None

Preshow Clips/Playlist: I built the BIRDS OF PASSAGE A1 playlist, scheduled it for the week (along with the rest of Wednesday/Thursday's features, minus Captain Marvel, Madonna, and Cleo From 5 to 7)

** I also made a 5.1 version of the Star Encore playlist, since Matthew wanted to possibly move A Star Is Born to theater 3

*** Swapped schedules for theaters 3 and 5 for Saturday and Sunday. Sent out all the content, scheduled playlists, etc.

Trailer Updates: updated the Adult trailer pack to include Apollo 11 and Us. Climax got the axe. (PS - does anybody know where the flat version of the US version 2 trailer might be? We only had version 1 on the TMS)

Special Events/ AV set up: we had dual staff screenings of Greta and Birds Of Passage this afternoon. Both ran without a problem, though Birds was a no-show for audience.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): I put in poster order requests for The Aftermath, Dumbo, and Gloria Bell through Vision. Neon handles their own posters, so, Matthew said he would e-mail them for Apollo 11 and Beach Bum posters.

Ordering/Receiving (content):

Outgoing/Shipping (content): carried the rest of our lingering outbound DCP drives over to the UPS drop. Sayonara.

Print/video Inspection: did a QC of Birds Of Passage and SpiderVerse when I first came in. Both ran great. Also did a sort of unofficial QC of Greta during its staff screening.

Distro Doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: replaced the outside Alita poster with Birds Of Passage, and added a 'Now Playing' snipe to the Greta poster.

Cue sheets updated (only if needed): the cue sheets still had Star Is Born listed as the opening round movie in theater 5 for Monday - Thursday. Matthew's most recent schedule update had this switched to Oscar Shorts. I updated this on the cue sheets. Scheduler is also correct re: this schedule. (This got nixed in a different way when Matthew swapped theaters 3 and 5 — cue sheets are correct for these new changes)

** Matthew asked for theaters 3 and 5 to be swapped for Saturday/Sunday. These changes have been made on the cue sheet (as well as moving Spider-Verse up ten minutes so that the feature start time is 1:30, to account for overlap on the beginning of Star Is Born). Theater 5 is now the 'Greta' theater for the weekend (it goes back to 3 on Monday).

Showtime boards & recording updated?: added Greta and Birds Of Passage to the marquee. Removed Alita, which ended last night, from the marquee.

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Additional Notes: deleted some old content (Goodfellas, On The Basis Of Sex) from servers. If there is still stuff we can get rid of on there, give it the boot.

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...
