Projection Report 10/5 Close



Presentation Issues: There were no presentation issues. Everything ran smoothly.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: I ingested the NPP_TVHorror preshow clip from EVO and finished building out the playlist for Monday's screening of Bad Ronald. I also updated the Over the Edge playlist with the NPP logo slide as per the event memo, before and after the feature. I have the slide pausing during the intro, the projectionist will then need to advance and play the next clip which is a black slug with all 35 mm cues firing, I set another server pause within the slug so that when the print is done, you will just have to advance to the next cue and push play to get the logo back up. This is the best way I could think of to get the slide back up on the screen quickly.

Trailer Updates: n/a

Special Events/ AV set up: The Roy Cohn Q&A went well. The volume wasn't mixed as optimally as I liked, due to the host changing the volume settings after the initial intro. Next time I will be sure to be stationed right at the mixer as the transition happens. All mics, cables, the Yamaha mixer, and chairs have been returned to their respective homes in 4/6 and the TH 1 hallway. I was unsure of the protocol for the memory card so I left it inside the camera.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): I unzipped VFW (which ate up so much processing power that the projection Mac was virtually useless for over an hour - does that always happen?). I did not ingest it onto TMS, partly because I ran out of time but also, we are at 91% capacity on the server.

Outgoing/Shipping (content): I deleted Akira since the keys expired tonight anyway and we had the staff screening. I almost deleted Villains but wanted to double check.

Print/video Inspection: I dropped TV Horror (Bad Ronald) into TH 3 and teched it.  The aspect ratio is 1.33. I set the masking to 1.33,  and chose the 1.78/66/37 combined lens setting. The sound is super tinny and almost uncomfortable on the higher end (like when dishes clatter, etc). I set the volume to 5.0. The video itself is fine and I set the lights to come up 10 sec into the credits since they are only 45 seconds long.

NPP Projection Open 12/28

To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled 1/3 - 1/9 in LMS. A few manual starts in there. I scheduled those shows just a minute or two after their real start time to get the content transferred, just FYI. Started building the cue sheets as well. Got the first three days done. SE screenings went smoothly.

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 Admin (Lillian/Will) 7/7

To do this evening/ was completed: Leon Chase for Hank's Saloon came by to tech his film today. He's super happy with the outcome of his DCP and is really, really excited about the screening.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Buena Vista Social Club is just about sorted for this evening -the hosts did not respond to our request for a good quality video of the Tony Awards performance that we could download, so I found it on YouTube and let them know. I made a DCP, which will likely sound good between 3.5 - 4.5, but we'll have 15min to tech it before we open doors for the show!  Superman playlists built - I swapped out the atmos file that was first ingested and got the regular 7.1 in there! Hanks Saloon playlist built Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received posters for Lurker and Pavements and placed them behind 3/7 Ordering/Receiving (content): Downloaded and ingested the Superman pre-show Sorry, Baby i...
