Projection Report, 3/25 PM



Presentation Issues: None

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Jameson and Jawbreaker events went great. Directors chairs are back behind the screen in 1.

After much random button mashing and cursing, I finally figured out how to program those stupid lighting boards:
1) Go into "Program Mode" (hold down the program button until the program LED flashes)
2) Select ONE fixture, get it where you want it.
3) Save it to a scene - press and release "MIDI/Add," select your desired scene. LED's on board will flash to confirm.
4) Zero out any faders
5) De-select the fixture
6) Either exit program mode to check your work (hold down Program button until program LED flashes, THEN hit blackout), OR repeat steps 2-5 for additional fixtures.

Fixtures 1+2 are the spots, 3-6 are the pars. You can check out the manual to see what each fader does. I'll drop this into the projectionist training manual as well.

Bloodbath playlist is all set for tomorrow, no intros, no Q+A, just another movie screening! Or the "ol' look-n-listen" as they called it when I was growing up, way back in the 80's. Only thing to watch out for is the masking - I noticed the 1.78 masking doesn't move too easily back to flat, you have to move it out to scope then to flat.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Additional Notes: Blu ray player in 3 was behaving erratically, disk tray wouldn't open, wouldn't recognize disc, etc.. I'm having serious doubts about these Samsungs. Thankfully it was just being used as a backup.

NPP Projection 11/17 Close

To do this evening/ was completed:v Mandy ingested to T1. Reached out to Vision for new posters. Was placed on hold, which was more an unending cycle of pressing 1 for hold and then being told to press 0 for voicemail or 1 for hold. Point being I left a voicemail requesting new posters. Gave them our account number, location and my cell. Outgoing marquee letters taken down. 11/10 playlists and forecasts deleted, Chicken Run V2 and Christmas Action trailers downloaded and ingested, 11/24 A1 playlists and packs built. Inspected Raising Cain print. It's in good condition, minimal scratching, no splices. Inspection sheet filled out. Transferred Marvels content to T6, as it was missing from the server due to the 1:20 tomorrow being a manual start.

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

Projection Close 12/28 Lillian

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey all. Thanks for the Christmas coverage and for quickly hopping on board to accompany Alec while he's out for a little while - I really appreciate it. We've just about got our schedule sorted, so please remember to take a look to see the changes made.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Double checked that T6 and T6 specific playlists are all set.  Tomorrow! Please get your eyes on When Harry Met Sally just to check sound/image and credits info. Screens this Saturday/Sunday but the keys open up tomorrow. I adjusted the playlist based on the ingest letter (and looked it up online, but the offset is a little different, so you'll want to make sure!) Thanks! Adjust cue sheets if necessary.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received Drive Away Dolls posters.  Ordering/Receiving (content): We're all good on KDMs at the moment.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Ins
