Presentation Issues: TMS in 4/6 froze at 5:29 and remained frozen throughout the night. This didn't affect playback, but I loaded every show manually to be safe. It was fine in the other booths. I tried refreshing everything, with no luck. Finally, I simply logged out of TMS in 4/6, which fixed the problem. *** I think the computer froze because I was trying to unzip PS_NPP_Generic_v3_40min, but kept getting an error message.

Presentation Issues: 35mm projector 2 in theater 1 lamp issues again during the screening of Magnolia. The lamp shut itself off twice within the first ten minutes (more on this below) so Michael and I switched to the backup on his laptop. This caused further issues as the audio sync on this file wasn't great. We had a DCP ingesting when the show started, so when it finished I tried to switch to that as seamlessly as I could so we could at least have in-sync audio, but when I loaded the DCP to cue it up the macro on the Christie switched automatically, so there was a black screen/silence for ~30 seconds before I got the laptop backup back on screen. This led customers to think the file had skipped ahead a few scenes, even though the laptop backup had just continued running normally while this happened, it just wasn't on screen.

Special Events/ AV set up: Did a staff screening/inspection of Magnolia in Th 1. The print is in amazing shape and everything looked/sounded great. The only thing is that projector 2's lamp keeps shutting off due to what we think is a faulty door sensor. Billy from DMS will be on site tomorrow before we open to (hopefully) fix this. Michael is preparing a backup DCP just in case. Also, Daniel got some very valuable practice threading the projectors and doing change overs.

Presentation Issues: Projector 3 was left on "Play then rewind" instead of "Play then eject," which caused The Dead Don't Die  to play instead of Booksmart , which is what was scheduled. I wasn't made aware until after the feature had started, but I was able to correct the mistake quickly and the film ended 5 minutes behind schedule. For the future: if you're going to use this function, then please switch it back before you clock out of your shift, or make a note of it in your projection report/tell the projectionist who relieves you.

Presentation Issues: The first round of DEAD DON'T DIE (just the feature, not preshow) in theater 2 started completely out of focus (it also seemed to be spilling wide on to the side masking as if it were running in scope). I'm assuming this is due to the 1.78 macro setting somehow. I re-set the image file to Flat and it fixed the focus issue, though the image is still spilling on to the sides of the screen a little bit (just by a few inches). Unfortunately we might have to roll with it like this for a bit (I'm not sure if we even have control over the side masking to get it to where it seems to need to be).      Does anybody know why this would have happened? Preshow Clips/Playlist: I asked Alex to update Dead Don't Die to run in the normal Flat image setting, not 1.78, to avoid future focus issues for the time being, Trailer Updates: Added the new All Ages trailer pack to Men In Black (the adult pack had been built in) Special Events/ AV set up: we had dual s

Projection Report 6/8 Open

Presentation Issues: None so far Preshow Clips/Playlist: The kids trailer pack still had the 45-second "Nitehawk Rising" before the 25-minute preshow, rather than the 5-minute welcome slide, which caused house lights to go down early and a cue sheet headache for Secret Life of Pets shows. Please double check that packs are the correct length so the house will go dark at the showtime before building playlists. *Built and scheduled Brighton Beach Memoirs playlist, sent the feature to theater 3's server *Adjusted the house mid cue at the end of the Secret Life of Pets playlist so lights come up when the credits start instead of the house staying dark until the crawl starts. In the future we should double check credit offsets to see if it makes sense to bring the lights up earlier than at the timecode the distributor gives us.

Presentation Issues: Some wonkiness during CHEERLEADER due to navigating the new equipment set up. Also the first round in theater 2 did not auto-start on time because I forgot to switch back to 'scheduled' after teching Rafiki. My mistake. I was able to cue Booksmart so that it ended on time. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Updated trailers on RAFIKI and TOO LATE TO DIE YOUNG Special Events/ AV set up: BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER 35mm staff screening. It was a really good thing that we did this — a few bumps left to work out on these projectors. The aperture plate seems to be sliding around between reel starts. Also the 1.85 plate on projector 1 is cut pretty harshly (lots of plate garbage on the top and bottom left). Also (this is the worst one), projector 2's lamp will randomly shut itself off if projector 1's lamp is on. This is obviously bad. Billy says it should stop once we change the lamp — he seems hopeful it will arrive today. Otherwise — thread

Presentation Issues: During the last show in theater 5 a customer noticed that the feature audio was not playing through the surround speakers. While the sound was definitely not as it should be, dialogue/score/sound effects were still coming through clearly and it only drew one complaint so I waited until after the show to restart the Dolby processor. Ran the surround test and it sounded correct again.

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the A1 Secret Life Of Pets 2 playlist. I also updated the generic 'Kids' preshow pack with most recent Lil Hawk preshow update. Also built the RAFIKI playlist (SE_Rafiki), scheduled it for Sunday. note: according to EclairPlay, the credit offset for this is 'n/a'. I'm not sure if this means it has no trailers, since I did not tech it tonight. Let's get to the bottom of this before Sunday. Also built the Too Late To Die young playlist (SE_TooLateToDieYoung). ALSO made a Midnight Cowboy playlist for Thursday (SE_MidnightCowboy), scheduled it. note: it is missing end credits cues (Deluxe One did not have one listed), so this will also need to be spot checked ** scheduled all first run shows for the week, plus Rafiki for Sunday. I did not schedule Too Late... for Monday since the Rocketman show scheduled before it overlaps with its start time (see e-mail). Playlist and content has been sent to the

Preshow Clips/Playlist: No changes Trailer Updates: No updates Special Events/ AV set up: Billy and I ran the first two reels of But I'm A Cheerleader  in TH 1 this afternoon. Jim's inspection report already said it, but I can confirm that the print is in EXCELLENT shape. The sound is great too.

Presentation Issues: After getting the ICP connection error on the Christie in 1 I rebooted the server during the flip. When it started back up there was a second error which was a failure of the marriage between the server and projector. I called Billy from DMS and he walked me through doing a hard reboot of the Christie which made both the ICP and the marriage failure errors go away. This all went down right when 7's were starting, so I forgot to start preshow in 6 (which was a manual start), and ended up getting it on screen about 20 minutes late when Sarah walkied that it hadn't started yet. Preshow for Rocketman started about 5-10 minutes late as well. Preshow Clips/Playlist: I forgot to mention this the other day, but I built and scheduled the High Art playlist. Since the Pride preshow is only 27 minutes I scheduled this playlist to start at 6:18 so the lights down time will be correct. There's only 6 minutes of trailers also, and this is reflected in the "Mov

Presentation Issues: A customer requested a closed captioning device for Theater 2, but it wouldn't connect when the feature started. I brought the device into the booth, where it connected and was displaying the captions when I brought it back to the customer. He was sitting in the back row which helped. I remember this has caused problems in the past but it slipped my mind until the problem arose so I didn't mention it to the customer before they sat; is it possible to improve the connectivity from the theater to the booth?
