Projection Admin 9/30



To do this evening/ was completed: More NewFest techs today! 

Dustin, Desmond and I took a look at The Silence of My Hands in T3, then Queens of Drama in T1 followed by two shorts programs. We're looking pretty good, although we made a few notes about two or three DCPs that will need to get double checked again (mostly ratio q's). 
We received new DCPs today for Gender Reveal, Sydney and Kim, and City of Dreams. - FOR TONIGHT: I have downloaded and unzipped the new DCP of Gender Reveal (V2), which is on the DCPIII drive. The new DCPs of City of Dreams and Sydney and Kim have been downloaded in T1 and are currently getting copied over to the DCPIII drive. Once those two on are the drive, please ingest all three shorts. Thanks! The old shorts are off the TMS. 

For our next tech on Wednesday, we will need I Used To Be A Woman But I Gave It All Up For Christ feature in T3. We do not have this DCP yet. It should be coming in today! Keep an eye out for it and tag Kim and Dustin if you have any issues. Thanks! 
Note: Looking ahead for Wednesday, I just noticed that Blue Moon Angels is on the DCPIII drive, but has not been unzipped, and Girl Blunt is absent from the TMS (?), so please unzip that tonight (and ingest with the three shorts listed above) double check that either tonight or tomorrow. Please, please, keep track of your shorts. Those are the only two that haven't been ingested for the New Voices program we need to tech weds. 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: For this evening, we have the Gotham Shorts programs. P1 and P2 playlists are all set. I double checked the slide this morning as Desmond noted he wanted a white wash, but it completely drowned out the slide, so we're going with center spots. I programmed a new setting on the board (for the Q&A!)wide spots since there will be more folks on stage. Desmond has approved the setting! Use 308! I have put the setting info in both memos as well. Right side spots for the intro, though.  

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): We received the CRU drive for the DCP of Uncropped. Ingested this to the TMS. 

Ingested keys for A Different Man and Beetle Juice

We also received the DCP for Louder Than You Think, which came via filemail and is downloading through the app. 

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Three prints: Wild Things, Condo Painting and Mad Dog got picked up today by DHL! Confirmed with them. 

Print/video Inspection: 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning: I ordered us new sets of packing tape since we're low. 

I swapped the transmitter in 4/6 to see if that would do the trick and it did not. I'd check in with the projector in trees tomorrow - I'm too short. 

We received our new dust pan and broom set today! You can adjust the height by adding or subtracting the individual rods. Pretty swanky. I set it up in 4/6. 




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

Marquee updated?: Brunch and 35mm side needs to be adjusted. 

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

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...
