NPP Projection Admin 11/8



To do this evening/ was completed: Classic_Pictures_V2 content and Lynch_15min_V2 (PSGenericLynch_FTR) downloaded and ingested. La Strada, Any Given Sunday and The Brood playlists built, as well as NoBudge42, Twin Peaks and Sudden Death, the last of which will need its intro slide added as well as 35mm cues. Two minutes of NPPWelcomeSlide added to beginning of the Rep-R playlists, as they came out to 33 minutes of preshow total without the slide.

Tech'd Bad Seed and Paradise Lost with Cristina. Volumes logged. Bad Seed on house reels.

Started Ferris Bueller a little early today. Screening went smoothly.

Outgoing playlists and forecasts removed from servers.

Boy and the Heron blu-ray residing in 4/6.

Heretic and The Graduates letters up on the marquee.

Maintenance/cleaning: Alec and I did a lot of maintenance work and cleaning in T2 in an attempt to solve or temporarily curtail our light issues. We spent the entire day doing this. We're still discussing with Chris (who is, essentially, waiting for Bob's report from today despite the fact that they were in communication almost the whole time...so Chris knew what we cleaned and tinkered with, but I guess this needs to be formally written). They'll give us a run down Monday morning (which we'll be holding them to). They're not entirely sure if we should be replacing one component or the entire light engine. I am weary and leaning towards just getting a new projector because ours is still not as clean as it could be and the projector is a lot more fickle to clean than you'd think. I'm not sure it's more cost effective to keep fixing the one we have (still not as bright, might not be fixed with a new light engine, I don't want to lose shows or have patrons deal with not as good presentation. - L

Echoing Lillian's notes here but also mentioning we put in a new bulb and Bob from DMS made manual adjustments to the bulb position and focus which made an improvement though surely not back to 100%. Shows should run alright while we work on the permanent solution, which we will make sure comes sooner rather than later. -AWL

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...
