NPP Projection Admin 3/18 + 3/17 Close



To do this evening/ was completed: Gremlins 2 went very smoothly last night.

LMS scheduled for the upcoming week. 

Loops ran for tonight. Projectors cleaned.

Gremlins remaining on house reels for now, potential staff screening.

Letters up for Superhuman Body screening on brunch side. Those should come down tonight.

New external hard drive is coming tonight, please format it to Microsoft NTFS when it arrives and name it!

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: The Superhuman Body event went smoothly. Even though the marquee hadn't been done on the side so Jack and I quickly got that up. They held house for a hot minute, but then it was a smooth transition into the feature and then the Q+A. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): So Jack showed me the subs on [REC] and it was essentially an OCAP situation with subs for the audio effects. What I think happened with the subtitles was that when you're selecting subtitles in Handbrake the tracks start at 0 instead at 1. So Track 1 on the video is Track 0 on Handbrake, etc. It's confusing a bizarre choice on Handbrake's part. 

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection: Looked at REC with Cristina. The subtitles include action descriptions (distant screaming, chainsaw revving etc) so we put the file through HandBrake again with the right subtitle track. This can get DCP'd tonight

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Received tracking for Conquest. This should land on Thursday.

Maintenance/cleaning: Changed the HDMI cable for the T7 Christie. Tested and it's working, but will keep checking it to make sure there's no other issue.

Changed the APC battery in the T7 unit.

We got new HDMI/ethernet extenders which I'll set up to leave in 4/6 for the cable connection to the theaters.

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Cue sheets for next week complete except for Zola, Paper Moon, and Watership Down

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

Additional Notes: April schedule is mostly posted, just one week need finalization.

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 Friday 1/31 CLOSE Chris

Presentation Issues: -I believe Karen thoroughly covered this in an email but there were serious issues with the CP500 for the 6:20 Lil Women; no sound for the first three minutes and it dropped out again the very moment the 500 was taken off manual. The last foil cues continue to fail to fire. The platter worked fine, tho it is not a graceful competence, double-wrapping the film around the brain in the first fourth of the movie before the motor kicks in. -The Rhythm Section SPL had it's LTS DOWN cue set to fire at the beginning of the 10 count preshow portion, rather than the end when the trailers hit. Fixed that.
