Projection Admin 7/12 Alec/Lillian



To do this evening/ was completed: Hey everyone! PLEASE remember to practice your threading and to run the platter (try to not leave it threaded up). Double check that everything looks correct. Oppenheimer is right around the corner and it will sneak up on us. Everyone must have their threading down so we can shift focus to showmanship and other aspects of automation once the print arrives. Thank you! 

We're looking great on content ~ we've got everything we need for the next week. Muppets KDM opens up Friday, so we'll tech then. 

CCAPs working in Th1 again, the ethernet from the extender had been moved from the corresponding port in the booth, probably when we were troubleshooting the HDMI after it died again in there. I labeled the port it should be plugged into. -Alec


Cleaned the port window and lens for the Christie in booth 2. -Alec


Went around to all the houses and checked 2.00 (for Barbie) and 2.20 (for Oppenheimer) masking settings and lens macros. These are all set. Heads up I had to overwrite the 1.66 masking setting in Theaters 3 & 7 to re-program 2.20. Doubt we will need it before the end of the Oppenheimer run, but we can overwrite 1.37 if we need to. -Alec


I ran an auto LampLOC adjustment on the Theater 1 Christie, the light was uneven with shadows in the bottom corners of the screen which were quite prominent with the (mostly white) alignment test DCP up on screen. The auto adjust improved the distribution of light greatly. -Alec


Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the playlist for Blue Sunshine, which we'll tech on Friday, with Cristina, along with Twister.

Ingested two sets of preshows for NoBudge #34 and Blue Sunshine: Generic Shorts/Generic 420 content. 

Trailer Updates: We have all trailers needed for the next week of content. 

Special Events/ AV set up: Tested Midsommar this morning, adjusted masking to best fit 2:1. Two mics are ready to go for the event this evening. Level is already set on the mixer/mics are up. 

NEW DCP of A Folded Ocean is transcoding in T1 (will be on the desktop once complete). I checked the original file we were given and noticed that at about 9 min in, the image freezes but the file plays. I made sure the new file we were given made it past that point without issue. Please transfer the DCP to the DCPIII drive and then ingest. Desmond and I will take a look tomorrow morning. This is the last short that needs to be tech'd, so after we do that we can build out the playlist. 

For the private of The Office episodes tomorrow, Alec has some notes for the run of show in T6 where the breakers are. I'll let Alec add more here! 

Teched the Office episodes for the private event in Th6 tomorrow. We will stream these off of Peacock. There are some notes taped to the Th6 breaker box, right next to the rack. The rack PC is connected to the projector and the sound processor: Blu-Ray FLAT Zoom on the projector and Non-Sync on the processor. We still need to figure out the Peacock account we’re going to use (I used a friends to check the episodes), we’ll use Chenelle’s if the host doesn’t provide one. -Alec


Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content):

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Noticed we still had Night of the Comet, so that's been scheduled for pickup this evening. Going back to Vision Media. 

Reinspected and packed up Safe in Hell, pickup is scheduled for tomorrow. -Alec

Print/video Inspection: Put Bamboozled on house reels

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: Swapped out the 1.37 lenses/plates for 1.85 in T4 in preparation for Bamboozled tomorrow. Ran loops on each, adjusted the masking (port glass). Will double check presentation tomorrow morning. 
Spoke to Roger. We'll likely install the lamps ourselves and then have him come on in to make any needed adjustments. 
I printed out a few images of the platter and taped them up in the booth where the other platter papers are. There's an image of the brain threading, second deck and top deck, along with a few notes. 


Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes. 

Marquee updated?:

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...
