Projection Admin 3/24 Alec/Lillian



To do this evening/ was completed: Hi projectionists! So this morning we checked out the bulb in T1, reseated it, cleaned the lamp house, etc. We ran Eternal Sunshine for Desmond. Bulb flickered a bit...then stabilized. Ultimately, we wound up bypassing the airflow switch and, cut/frayed the wires and taped them together. This switch tells the lamp that it's okay to turn on. It's in a stable position, so the lamp should stay lit once you strike it. That being said, we are actively trying to get new bulbs from Roger, but if he doesn't have any in storage, it will take at least a month since they're made to order now. 

There's a tech website we can get ones from within a week, so that's another option, might be more expensive...Roger is going to storage this evening to see if they've got any, so hopefully by tonight we'll know and can make a decision in the next few days. 

Ran Interview With A Vampire (got volume, noted on the card). Looks great! Same for Eternal Sunshine...got volume...on card. 

Presentation Issues: 

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Matilda playlist(s) are all set. We got volume today. 

Trailer Updates: Kat sent out the new trailer/preshow info. Please check accordingly. 

Special Events/ AV set up: Star Wars is finishing transcoding in T1. I redid the DCP (there was a good file already ripped--with the opening sequence that wasn't in the last--the wrong file was chosen in the first place.) 

Both feature DCPs have been downloaded to the blue drive in T1 and can get ingested! Titles: Get It Back and Heaven Stood Still
There are trailers for both of these available via dropbox (Will/Jack, I forwarded you this email already so you have access to these and can make them if you've got time.)

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...
