Saturday 2/22 CLOSE Chris



To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues:
-Did some more pre-show meddling in the big houses and i agree with Alec that it is indeed too quiet to be worth doing. I spoke to some servers about it and they said the only instances in which they felt drowned out by preshows occurred in our smaller houses, particularly the similarly laid-out 4, 5 and 6.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:N/A

Trailer Updates:N/A

Special Events/ AV set up:N/A

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content):

Outgoing/Shipping (content):N/A

Print/video Inspection:N/A

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:Neither deluxe nor Eclair had any fresh wisdom to impart.

Maintenance/cleaning:
-As Alec hinted earlier, this was an almost painfully easy day for projection, so I tried to spend pretty much the whole shift in our seven houses, doing the fine-tooth comb routine. It seems to me that Screen 7 is leaving a bit to be desired in the contrast department. While The Photograph looked as rich and textured as ever, a particular moment of 1917 seemed amiss to me, the first image after the film's "first cut" when our beleaguered soldier wakes up. The black hues here seemed pretty washed out, (I know it is a generally very washed out film but this seemed wrong even within those parameters) more of a backlit grey like when an LCD TV starts to falter. Unfortunately it timed out to be in close proximity to the one true manual start of the evening so I had to split rather than watch more. This could also just be the natural, paranoid downside of a fine-tooth comb mentality, but I think someone should take a quick look.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):
-Sunday is a beat-for-beat copy of today, minus a private event and looks a-okay.

Marquee updated?:N/A

Posters updated?:N/A

Cleaning lights on for the night?:Yes

Projectors off for the night?:Yup

Projection cart by TH5?: Indeed

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...
