NPP Projection Close 1/27



To do this evening/ was completed: Re-inspected Action Jackson--inspection sheet updated. Added the Anastasia trailer to the Neverending Story preshow playlist--some of the other trailers included on Kat's list had to be removed to keep the playlist at 35 minutes total (BookNoDates and Family Friendly).

Presentation Issues: Got a call from during round two in T1 notifying me that a ceiling light was flickering in the theater. Initially I turned off the rear ceiling lights breaker, which didn't do anything. Then I turned off the breaker for the emergency ceiling lights which caused the cleaning lights to come on during trailers. Turned that breaker back on, which brought the house lights down, but the ceiling light continued to flicker. Hit the lights down cue on quick controls and also on the rack, neither worked. Hit the same breaker again--cleaning lights came back on. Turned it back on, lights down, ceiling light continued to flicker for a little while until it just shut off. The light in question (from the POV of the projection booth) was in the center left of the ceiling. No issues during round three.

**I don't see mention of Dr Strangelove having been tech'd today. I see that the playlist has a 1.33 masking/lens change attached to the feature. On IMDB/FilmTech the "theatrical ratio" is listed as 1.85, though I'm also seeing the Criterion edition may be 1.66/1.33. Might be worth it to tech before showtime tomorrow morning.

Inspected what I thought were the first two reels of Dreamcatcher. Turns out the first reel, labeled Dreamcatcher H1, is actually the first reel of The Animatrix. Left it tails out inside the film cabinet. The actual first reel of Dreamcatcher is in excellent condition.

35mm projectors in T1 have been readied for scope--ran loops after round three concluded--focus and frame have been set. Projectors cleaned afterward.

Uploaded new keys for Broker, TMS was indicating current ones would expire before tomorrow morning's showtime.

Special events screenings keep getting listed as having forty minutes of preshow on the cue sheet, when they're in fact 35 min. Updated Strangelove and Neverending.

NPP Projection 11/17 Close

To do this evening/ was completed:v Mandy ingested to T1. Reached out to Vision for new posters. Was placed on hold, which was more an unending cycle of pressing 1 for hold and then being told to press 0 for voicemail or 1 for hold. Point being I left a voicemail requesting new posters. Gave them our account number, location and my cell. Outgoing marquee letters taken down. 11/10 playlists and forecasts deleted, Chicken Run V2 and Christmas Action trailers downloaded and ingested, 11/24 A1 playlists and packs built. Inspected Raising Cain print. It's in good condition, minimal scratching, no splices. Inspection sheet filled out. Transferred Marvels content to T6, as it was missing from the server due to the 1:20 tomorrow being a manual start.

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

Projection Close 12/28 Lillian

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey all. Thanks for the Christmas coverage and for quickly hopping on board to accompany Alec while he's out for a little while - I really appreciate it. We've just about got our schedule sorted, so please remember to take a look to see the changes made.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Double checked that T6 and T6 specific playlists are all set.  Tomorrow! Please get your eyes on When Harry Met Sally just to check sound/image and credits info. Screens this Saturday/Sunday but the keys open up tomorrow. I adjusted the playlist based on the ingest letter (and looked it up online, but the offset is a little different, so you'll want to make sure!) Thanks! Adjust cue sheets if necessary.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received Drive Away Dolls posters.  Ordering/Receiving (content): We're all good on KDMs at the moment.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Ins
