NPP Projection Report 10/30 Close

To do this evening/ was completed: 

Presentation Issues: One of the MODs brought it to my attention that the house lights were still too dark during the Black Adam credits even after the mid-credits scene had passed; I replaced the lights MID cue with a lights UP cue at the same timecode that Lillian had pushed it back to after the issue with the timing was first mentioned

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Downloaded and ingested new forecast content and added it to all upcoming OCAP and first run show playlists (the new how to order 'horror' content failed to ingest twice despite my downloading each of the two file types of every element that was uploaded -- reached out to Kat about fixing this on her end)

Updated the Night of the Living Dead show playlist and its corresponding cue sheet information and built and scheduled a pre-show for tomorrow evening's Demons screening; I started building the pre-show for Real Women Have Curves in theater 4 but did not finish this in time before leaving for the evening 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up:

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Uploaded keys for The Woman King OCAP

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Printed return shipping labels and scheduled FedEx pickups for tomorrow for Beetlejuice and The Faculty 35mm prints 

Print/video Inspection: Teched the Night of the Living Dead show playlist in theater 1 (after adding the updated feature file to it) after the last round and everything is in working order

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):

Marquee updated?: Removed Beetlejuice and added letters for Staying Alive

Posters updated?: Left a couple Banshees posters out for Matthew to come pick up tomorrow morning to bring to NWB; The Little Mermaid posters were delivered and stored behind 3/7

Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes

Projection cart by entrance?: Yes (with two prints on it ready for return delivery)

Additional Notes: Just a note about the TMS but its clock is now running 3 minutes faster than the one on our 4/6 desktop; I wonder if this can and/or will cause problems in the future for automated playback(?)

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...
