Projection Admin 6/26 Lillian and Will



To do this evening/ was completed: Friendly reminder: we have to make sure the walkie is on us starting 1hr before we open. 

T1 and T6 continue to run smoothly. DMS comes through tomorrow...more on that later. 

TMS can continue to get scheduled. I'm holding off on scheduling anything that hasn't already been ingested to T6 while we're running, so please don't do that til the morning. I'm sure it'd be fine, but very slow, and it's usually on the slow side in all theatres whilst running anyway. 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Downloaded Generic_Summer preshow content. Downloading Indiana Jones preshow content (comp is slow. needs to be restarted) please continue checking in on this/downloading and ingesting.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Ran Night of the Comet for Cristina this morning. Info has been noted on a white card attached to the print! It's not in the best condition, but it's decent. It'll be fun. 

In conversation with Jeff (filmmaker) for Blue Sunshine. He'll be sending us the DCP of his film. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Safe in Hell comes Wednesday! Asset doc updated. 

Outgoing/Shipping (content): DHL will be picking up Shanghai Express tomorrow, between 9am and 3pm. This can get put on the black cart downstairs. 

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: T1 ~ swapped out the 1.37 lenses for 1.85. Changed the plates. Cleaned projectors. 

Took Will through one of the threading sequences for the platter, ran it, then we went through the threading changes again (different deck) and ran again. Will did the set up himself the second time round. he took extra photos just for himself which I'm encouraging us to do since I think everyone kinda fancies having their own references, too, since one bit might be more difficult than another and vice verse depending on who ya are. Will did a really good job retaining the pattern. Once everyone gets the pattern(s) down, we'll talk more about showmanship/automation. 

Platter continues to work just fine!

Had a look on multiple websites for those platter covers, to no avail. I left Roger a message this morning to see if he has a lead/emailed a few other folks (Fred at MoMI might have some since they have tons of equipment in storage/not in use for platter). I know for a fact they have covers at Angelika, but it's likely they'll be using them for their own Oppenheimer run. 

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes. Checked today and tomorrow. 

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

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
