NPP Projection Close 10/21

To do this evening/ was completed: Filling in for Jack tonight...wishing him a speedy recovery

Presentation Issues: No playback issues to report tonight (Lillian did a bunch of major and necessary tech'ing in the auditoriums with cancelled shows and got the feature content working properly again)

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built a special event pre-show for The Ring on 10/27

Updated the pre-show playlist for Christine as it had ten extra minutes of content and a lights up cue under the welcome bumper that should have been a lights down one

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: The Devil's Backbone screening in theater 1 this evening was a success despite a few changeovers with some nearly imperceptible grease cues

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Lillian mentioned it briefly in her blog this afternoon but the grease cues added to The Devil's Backbone needed to be adjusted and placed on the base side of the print (had enough time this evening to fix this before the show and get better acquainted with the images on the tails of each reel)

Re-inspected The Devil's Backbone after the show and packaged the print for return shipping (the canisters are at the foot of the stairs in booth 1 and can have return labels printed tomorrow) **The Ring was inspected by Jack and can be placed on house reels tomorrow afternoon + Christine needs to be tech'd for volume at some point tomorrow morning -- the projectors have been cleaned and readied for this print**

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...
