NPP Projection Blog CLOSE 2/7 Karen



To do this evening/ was completed:
To do tomorrow:
Please update the events/marquee whiteboard using this week's projection department review.
Maybe make a spot for the ingest schedule as well?

Presentation Issues:
-There were none

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

**Don't forget! IFC Independent Spirit Awards are tomorrow. The channels are: IFC 234, IFC HD 734. Please put on at 5 pm in high-res with closed captioning, no sound unless guests start to ask for sound. I have already verified the channel and put the closed captioning on. All you have to do is turn on the projector in high-res.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content):
-Ace in the Hole, DCP and keys, are due in tomorrow by noon. Keys open Sunday, 8 am.
-Casablanca keys are still outstanding, will inquire if not in by Tuesday morning.

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection:
-Teched "Moonlight". The asset tracking doc and cue sheets have been updated. This is a really quiet movie, at first I thought the 5.1 wasn't working as for the first 15 minutes on the center speaker is the only one showing any signal. However at the end of the movie when the orchestral score starts playing it gets really loud, with 6 channels showing good signal so I set the volume to come back down to 5.5 for the credits.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:
yes

Maintenance/cleaning:
-Labeled the a/c power switches in booth 3/7, 6, 1, & 5 with "NEVER SWITCH OFF" and a graphic illustration of what will happen if you do. For booth 2 and 4 I need an 8' ladder, and so I will do this during admin hours, I left the extra labels on the whiteboard.

- I deleted a bunch of playlist packs, trailers, cards, preshows, etc off of TMS and/or some individual servers and still TH 3,4,5 are over 80% full. We have so many movies right now. We generally do not have above 50% on individual servers at any given time. We take TMS over 80% but TMS crashes all the time, which will not stop the movies, and isn't that big of a deal. I don't want an IMS to crash because it's full because that will stop the movie.
Please don't schedule Wed and Thurs until after Sunday because there are theaters that are only playing certain movies through the weekend and those movies can be taken off after Sunday, conversely there are movies that are only playing towards the end of the week. So let's manage these servers a bit. The deletion/ingestion schedule is on the whiteboard and in the weekly review email that went out tonight.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):
-Saturday's cue sheets and scheduler has been double checked.
-Movies have been scheduled through Tues. Please hold off on scheduling Wednesday & Thursday until Sun close/Monday open.

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?: yes

Projectors off for the night?: yes

Projection cart by TH5?: yes

Nest:

Additional Notes:
-I have re-arranged the white board a bit: with a section for "daily manual starts", "notes for the week", "one off credit times". There is also a section dedicated to our IMS storage considerations for the week (see above). The first run credit times, runtimes, and KDM expiration dates are still written on flags, they have been updated for this week.

NPP Projection Report 11/23 Open

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Checked the Home Alone DCP ahead of the private event this morning, no issues. The party was a bit late seating, so the movie start was a little bit delayed. Overall it ran smoothly. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Kat will be making a DCP of Guardians of the Galaxy tomorrow for the private event in T1 on Tuesday morning. Chenelle will get the blu-ray sent over here for us to have as backup. I set up the blu-ray player so it's connected to both the monitor and the projector, in case we end up needing to use the blu-ray. I sent Lillian and McKegg an email about this separately. I checked the scope blu-ray projector channel in Theater 1 and it's good to go should we need to screen the blu-ray. I started the DCP of Death Race 2000 on the T1 Mac.

Projection Admin 9/2

To do this evening/ was completed: Our Network has been updated. Nick from DMS came in to drop off the relay mechanism and take a look at 3/7 before his install visit next week. I showed him in and around the space and he checked in with the WiFi guys. He also liased with Chris whilst scoping out the existing relay system in in 3/7.  It is still somewhat of a wreck in the 46 booth (cables and boxes that, to my knowledge, need to be thrown out, but I asked if they were going to clean up/what needs to be cleared out and I didn't get a proper response in both English and when I asked in Spanish lol so apparently someone might be coming round to finish that up tomorrow. If we don't, we can call Juan and double check. I did tidy things up though, so at least it's not absolute chaos in here.  Once the Network was up and properly running, I tested out theatres 4 and 6 to see if anything needed to be rebooted and lo n behold, only the dimmer panels needed to be rebooted in all the...
