NPP Projection Blog 12/26 CLOSE, Karen



Presentation Issues:
During the dinner round in TH3, "Bombshell" lost sound about 50 minutes into the feature. A quick glance at the rack in booth 3/7 showed that all components were working fine. I radioed for the MOD to stay in the theater. I stopped the show, shuttered the projector, and brought the house lights up. I then proceeded to mute the processor and cycle power on the amplifiers, unmuted the processor and restarted the feature briefly. Once the MOD confirmed that sound was back, I backed up the playlist by 7 minutes and restarted it. The whole fix took about 1-2 minutes.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:
Made the 35mm playlist of Little Women to run behind the print.

Print/video Inspection:
Teched Little Women this morning before we opened for masking, focus, and foil cue testing. The print looks beautiful. Let's keep it that way!
Ran it again at midnight as a full dress rehearsal after the last Star Wars showing with the digital playlist behind it and all applicable cues. The credits are static white letters against a black background which is the best possible way to examine the shutter timing. I thought I saw a bit of ghosting. After the print ran through, I set the intermittent such that I could look inside at the shutter position and indeed, the timing is slightly off. It isn't noticeable during the film itself so much. I will adjust this tomorrow evening after the dinner round screening.

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 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...
