Projection Close 9/13

To do this evening/ was completed: 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Alec ran the archival print of Fear of a Black Hat in theater 4; set up the mics/mixer for karaoke at Trees Lounge this evening

Fear of a Black Hat went well! I removed the failsafe (for the automation console) from P1 and replaced it with a single roller, I think this is what was causing occasional breaks to the countdown leader. Worked well during tonight's show. -AL

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Alec started running the blu-ray rip of Krull through HandBrake this evening; new KDMs for Passages were ingested for tomorrow

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Godzilla (1998) print is on the cart and will be picked up tomorrow afternoon

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: Organized the poster cubby in the 3/7 booth and added some first run film posters to the archive tube

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Double checked times for tomorrow against the TMS and scheduled shutdown cues except for theater 2 (not sure if the final round will need to be started manually following the event)

Marquee updated?: Added letters to the 14th street side marquee for the Range Life event tomorrow morning and left out letters on the workbench in the 3/7 booth for A Sigh of Origin

Removed Talk to Me and put letters for A Haunting in Venice in its place

Posters updated?: Added a "now showing" snipe above the poster for A Haunting in Venice outside 

Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes

Projection cart by entrance?: Yes

Additional Notes: Updated the special events whiteboard in 4/6 with film titles through the end of October; an order of additional letters and some twine for the yellow marquee pole is needed ASAP

No guests showed for the last round in theater 7 (The Equalizer 3 at 10PM) so MODs radioed up to end the show

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...
