NPP Projection Report 3/23 Close

To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: During the screening of Spirited Away the lamp went out a few minutes prior to the changeover between reels 3 and 4. I managed to strike the bulb and called Lillian to ask about potential fixes in the event that it went dark again. As I was making the switch between reels, the bulb went off just as I had anticipated, and after trying and failing to strike it twice, I called Lillian again after bringing up the house lights and communicating the issue to MOD. She walked me through resetting the power to the projector and carefully turning the bulb from the back of the machine in order to better align it. This quick fix seemed to work as the bulb remained lit for the rest of the show and no other issues occurred. I then made an announcement over the microphone to let the audience understand the issue and started running the print shortly after. Overall the screening ended up running behind by about 5 minutes total.

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Spirited Away screening in theater 1 was sold out and, aside from the minor technical mishap described above, went over smoothly (picture looked good and sound was turned up for the larger crowd)

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Converted a couple Music Driven/Doc N Roll trailers (Cymande and Heaven Stood Still) to DCP via Dropbox link and ingested these to the TMS; ran Star Wars: A New Hope through HandBrake and MKV again since the file that was originally added to DCP-o-Matic did not have the opening crawl to the film (this will finish running through MKV overnight and can be converted to DCP tomorrow afternoon)

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
