Projection Report 7/18 Close


Presentation Issues: None

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Please keep an eye out for new Booksmart KDMs tomorrow! I emailed them yesterday and they replied saying new keys will be issued, but they haven't sent them yet.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Looking for Mr Goodbar 35mm screening with intro by Bruce LaBruce in theater 1. No issues with presentation and the mic is back in it's charging port in theater 1's booth. A few things about the 35s in there though:

The last roller on projector #2 is loose which caused the countdown to get torn on two reels while threading, but I taped it together with paper tape and had no problems threading up after that. No damage to the print during actual projection. I also emailed John Woods about this to send to Paramount. After the screening I tried tightening this roller, but I think it just doesn't fit the arm well, or maybe the screw is partly stripped. I believe that if we are extra careful when threading this projector we shouldn't have this problem in the future, I have a couple tips that I tried when threading this projector to avoid causing any damage which I can explain to the projection team.

I noticed during the screening as well that the focus knob on projector #1 (the one hooked up to the platter system) drifts a fair amount. Within just a 20 minute reel some parts of the screen would go soft. This was even more noticeable after changeovers to this projector. It's cutting a bit close I know, but if this can be looked at by Dan or Billy before Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, that'd be super. Otherwise we'll have to check the focus multiple times throughout each screening. That's doable but it would of course be better if it didn't drift at all.

The last thing is, I'm going to file the 1.85 plate on projector #1 some more. Some edges are still visible on screen. I'll try to get this done before Bill & Ted's on Sunday.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): The Matrix Reloaded has been ingested to TMS

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey has been wound onto house reels and is ready to screen on Sunday.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: Cleaned the 35mm projectors in 1 before and after Goodbar. We should do this with every 35mm screening but it was especially important tonight since that print had a faint vinegar smell.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):

Marquee updated?: I didn't get a chance to update the marquee, by the time I was done with everything in booth 1 it was raining and I had an hour left of my shift. Dylan P. can you take down the Goodbar advert on the north side and put up some of the Keanu screenings? Also, Secret Life of Pets 2, Late Night, Rocketman, and The Dead Don't Die can come down from the front tomorrow and The Lion King and Sword of Trust can go up. Thanks!

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes

Projectors off for the night?: Yes

Projection cart by TH5?: Yes

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
