NPP Projection Report 5/14 Close


To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: Jack reminded me about the lens offset on the 1.78 DCP projector channel in Theater 4. World’s Fair is in this ratio and is screening in this theater so I checked it between rounds. As Jack mentioned it was bleeding on the left side of the curtain. I used the alignment test to adjust the offset to the right on the 178 ILS before the film’s screening.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled a preshow playlist for the Watchmen screening.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content):

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Cleared features from theaters which they won’t be screening in, and got rid of some obsolete playlists.

Print/video Inspection: Timed the credits for Watchmen and updated the timing on the cue sheets.

Emailed projection about a change to the film inspection protocol, basically just inspecting the print twice, once before screenings and again after the last screening. I’ve made a new inspection form for this purpose, it’s two-sided, with a ore-screening form on one side and a post-screening form on the other. They also have some more info on them than the previous ones. I’ve made several copies and placed some in both 35mm booths. I also transferred the info from the reports for the three current prints, The Mask, Videodrome, and Watchmen for their post-screening inspection.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes, added all Cinema and private events for June, added in format, auditorium, distribution info from the event calendar and distro doc.

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Filled in timing for the Watchmen screening.

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

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...
