NPP Projection Report 7/29 Open


To do this evening/ was completed: Basically non-stop film today starting at noon. But things went smoothly.

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Not that anyone needs to know this really since I’m running both shows again tomorrow, but I added 5 extra minutes of preshow to E.T. tomorrow, so the start of the first Oppenheimer doesn’t coincide with the last E.T. changeover. I updated the cue sheet and emailed managers about it.

Slightly awkward last changeover in E.T. I hit the changeover button when I saw the c/o cue before opening the dowser. Audience saw a second of black. Nothing to do with starting Oppenheimer right before, just a slip of the hand. Otherwise E.T. went very well. I switched sound to SR before changing over to projector 2, then back to digital after killing the projector 1 motor, and that seemed to work. Didn’t hear any countdown as far as I could tell. I still am going to figure out the motor start issue with the processor, affecting changeovers to projector 2 when playing Dolby Digital soundtracks.

Another successful Oppenheimer show in Theater 4.

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...
