NPP Projectionist Admin 12/8

To do this evening/ was completed:

Presentation Issues: Received a few complaints that the volume was too loud during the OCAP screening of Wicked in theater 3 this afternoon...brought it down to 6.0 from 7.0

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: The Birdcage played without issue in theater 3 this morning (however a guest did ask for a closed captioning device which could not be provided since the feature content does not have any hearing/vision impaired components)

Sundays on Fire screening in theater 1 this afternoon went smoothly (save for the final changeover when I missed sight of the motor start cue and let some of reel 5 run to its tail before quickly switching to 6) and the mic was brought back up to the booth to charge after the show. Projectors were cleaned as well

Tech'd feature volume and slides for Sugarcane with the filmmakers this morning. Had to take the A/V bin from theater 1 up to 4 since there was next to nothing in the one beneath the curtain there. That aside the mics and chairs were set up and tested before the screening started...which was only slightly complicated by there being no generic pre-show content in the SPL...I added this to it and started the show again manually. The intro and Q&A went well, as did the screening of the film, though, the ten people that showed up for it was a far cry from the full house the filmmaking team seemed to be expecting

Double checked (and adjusted accordingly) SPLs for the special events tomorrow and Wednesday

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Re-inspected Jiang Hu: The Triad Zone following the screening in 1 and scheduled a return pickup for tomorrow morning (tracking ID: 770583696443) 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?: Yes (with the outgoing print from this morning on it)

Additional Notes: I have no idea where the gear from the A/V bin in 4 is currently located...possibly theater 2? Was the mixer brought to Trees and never returned? We ought to have a once over of all materials readily available in each auditorium and place back what is missing

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...
