NPP Projection Report 5/16 Admin


To do this evening/ was completed: Replaced the OS disk in the Theater 6 IMS. since this was looking like it would arrive later in the day I asked Paul to sell out the first round as it had no tickets sold. The disks arrived just before 3pm but it was still a good thing we blocked that first screening. After replacing the disk, performing the update, and restoring the backup I still could not open the controls using the IP for Theater 6. Spent a while on the phone with Chris from DMS figuring this out. Apparently the backup that the IMS automatically restored from when I replaced the OS set it to the wrong IP. This was all an issue with this particular backup file on the IMS and not the OS disk I installed. Chris eventually was able to figure out what the IP had been changed to, access the webpage for the IMS, and restore a different backup file which reset it to the correct IP. we were back up and running before the second round.

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Checked volume for this week's trailers and added cues to the packs.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Carrie should go well tonight. Checked the playlist and told Will where all the spotlight settings are stored on the board.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content):

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Packed up the extra Spider-Man reels for Sony to pick up with the proper print.

Print/video Inspection: IF and Back to Black features teched and playlists updated. Checked Ponyo as well!

Reinspected and packed up Flintstones.

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Added credits for Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (keys for this open tomorrow but the offset was in the KDM email). Filled in Ponyo after checking the DCP.

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

Additional Notes: Nobody showed for either of the staff screenings today. Shocking I know! I shut them off shortly into the features.

As I was following along with Chris working on the IP settings, I think I figured out a way to be able to access the TMS/IMS controls on the iMac downstairs without having to use Splashtop… we’ll see if I’m successful.

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey all! Well, we're just about there! Barbenheimer starts tomorrow. Alec and I ran the print this morning as a dress rehearsal to check image/sound and to give our lovely staff a first look. The print looks really beautiful and I'm very excited for this run. We'll get our eyes on the DCP tomorrow to compare sound, though we're almost certain the loud, static noises that occur during scenes of explosions or closeups of nuclear particles are intentional.  I want to share with everyone a document I've whipped up called Housekeeping Notes for the Projectionist: Plattering Oppenheimer. This document details everything from notes on threading procedures--to cleaning--to examples of common situations and how to respond/communicate with colleagues and, of course, staying on top of other duties. Whilst Alec and I will be there for the first couple of screenings and to assist with each projectionists' first time running the platter--pl

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.
