Projection Admin 2/6

To do this evening/ was completed: Note: The keys for Wallace and Gromit open up tomorrow. Lots to tech tomorrow, too. All content ready. Keys for The Shrouds open up at midnight. 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Tech'd the playlist for Heart Eyes. Feature content and preshow elements all look and sound good. 

Tech'd In the Mood for Love. Playlist adjusted. 

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Setup for Spoons tonight. Everything's tested. Took the Aja from 4/6 to T1. That Aja had the ethernet cable labeled "theatre 1" setup in the booth for cable tv, and I'm leaving it in the booth, still attached to the 1c port, the other end coiled up since there's a long ethernet cable in T1. 

In communication with the Picturehouse folks for the DCP of Porcelain War, which will be for the private event on 2/12. I sent them our certs for T4, theatre ID and preferred window info. 

Downloaded and ingested No Other Land to the LMS. 

Ingested Soundtrack to a Coup D'etait to the LMS. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): To my surprise, we received a print of A Clockwork Orange, despite the fact that Williamsburg is playing it this weekend (on DCP). I realised shortly after that we're screening it at Prospect on 35 in March. I reached out to John/WB team anyway, though I presume it's just been sent to us super, super early. 

Received the print of Devil in a Blue Dress. Both prints brought down to T1. 

Outgoing/Shipping (content): 

Print/video Inspection: Inspected the first four reels of Devil in a Blue Dress today. Please feel free to continue this and start on A Clockwork Orange, if you like (and there's time). 

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes!

Maintenance/cleaning: Finally got that critical warning in T7, so I moved the staff screening (I don't actually think anyone showed up for it. Poked my head in a few times) and changed the lamp. Every time I change a lamp in T7 it gets a little easier. Looking nice and bright in there. Went through a few tests just to make sure everything's set. 

Received an optical cable for the cable setup using Digital Link 4 on the cp750 in Theatres 1 & 2, though I believe we should have been sent two. The other could be arriving later. 

Quick ballast fan warning (I think?) popped up on T1 christie panel. It went away so fast I barely saw, but everything's fine. I'll take a further look into this tomorrow morning. No issues. 

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

Marquee updated?:

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...
