NPP Projection Close 3/6

To do this evening/ was completed: Read through the weekly update and took note of events I'll be present for this upcoming week (Boyz n the Hood screening, Live Sounds performance, etc)

Presentation Issues: A guest noted The Zone of Interest was too quiet during its second round in theater 7 this evening and the volume was brought up to compensate for the higher attendance

A couple less than stellar changeovers during Pumping Iron II (missed the C/O cues by a handful of frames, a few frames of black between reels) and some very minor issues with focus going in and out at the heads and tails of each reel

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Pumping Iron II intro and screening went smoothly despite the aforementioned (minor) issues during the run of show 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): Final Destination 5 and Perfect Days feature content became available through EclairPlay and were ingested to the TMS

Uploaded new keys for first run titles (Drive-Away Dolls, Dune: Part Two, One Love, Perfect Days)

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Re-inspected Pumping Iron II and packaged it for return shipping (waiting on word from Cristina about where the print is being routed to -- will update if any is provided by end of day)

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: Tightened the bolts attached to the hinges on one of the small compartment doors on projector 2 in booth 1 (it still doesn't clasp to the machine itself but doesn't hang so loosely anymore)

Checked theater/booth 2 for leaks this evening and noticed a small drip coming down the wall on the landing behind row 1 -- the back row -- in addition to seeing spots on the front facing wall inside the booth sweating from the rainfall outside

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Double checked & initialed (STB in theater 1 so there is no SPL scheduled on the TMS -- everything else is set for tomorrow afternoon) 

Marquee updated?: Heavy rain this evening prevented me from changing anything but the letters on the 35mm side can come down tomorrow/whenever the weather clears up

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes

Projection cart by entrance?: Yes

Additional Notes: No attendance for the final rounds in theater 1 and 5 (these shows were stopped early)

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...
