Projection Admin 10/10



To do this evening/ was completed: Matthew flipped the breaker back on for T1 (which is in 4/6 server station) for the PA speakers. I tested mics multiple times and they're definitely working and, more notably, rather hot. For intros/Q&As, we can bring down the usual level for the mics (on the cp750) from 7.0 to 6.5 or 6.0, I reckon. I did not have the time to get the massive ladder out to adjust the actual speakers, but I think it's worth doing, just so everything's a little even keel. 

I added the the Queer Media Mixer slideshow that Alec made to a folder on Plex (which looks great! I tested it!), but the T4T one (for some reason) did not export with the right size, so I'm exporting another one right now to the desktop named T4T_Mixer_133_5hrs. Not sure if it's actually 5hrs but it is certainly more than 3. In any case, it should (hopefully) be the right size. Should be done by late tonight. 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: FYI - NF preroll loop requires 1.85 lens file and 1.78 masking. You will notice the necessary changes for that in each playlist with the preroll and or slides that also require it. Built playlists for Serpent's Skin/Lesbian Space Princess/Nīnxs/All About the T).
The new NewFest V3 trailer has been added to all shows. 

We still need to get keys for Josie and the Pussycats - this and She's the He playlists have not been built

Note: Centre spots setting for T2 has been noted on both event memos for NF this weekend. It is 502. 
I also noted the Centre spots setting for T1 shows on all NF event memos. It is 803.

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: Since we moved two shorts programs from T1 to T2 (this weekend's Food, Glorious Food, and In Your Face) I went through both, liberally, to make the necessary adjustments and adjusted one of the centre spots settings to fit the slide for Q&As (NF logo). I had Jess take some photos of me in a chair, etc, and put them in our thread so that NF folks are happy.

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.

NPP Projection Admin (Lillian/Will) 7/7

To do this evening/ was completed: Leon Chase for Hank's Saloon came by to tech his film today. He's super happy with the outcome of his DCP and is really, really excited about the screening.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Buena Vista Social Club is just about sorted for this evening -the hosts did not respond to our request for a good quality video of the Tony Awards performance that we could download, so I found it on YouTube and let them know. I made a DCP, which will likely sound good between 3.5 - 4.5, but we'll have 15min to tech it before we open doors for the show!  Superman playlists built - I swapped out the atmos file that was first ingested and got the regular 7.1 in there! Hanks Saloon playlist built Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received posters for Lurker and Pavements and placed them behind 3/7 Ordering/Receiving (content): Downloaded and ingested the Superman pre-show Sorry, Baby i...

Projection Admin 9/8 Lillian/Will

To do this evening/ was completed: Double confirmed with Chris and folks that the print of Vicious Lips is, in fact, Vampire Lovers. They are in the process of sending Cyborg. I took the Vicious Lips trailer out of the playlists that had them, which we'll replace with Cyborg once it's available.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the playlist for Higher Learning .  Trailer Updates: ^ as per the above, we'll be getting the Cyborg trailer and updated version of the Forecast_A for 9/12 sometime tonight.  Special Events/ AV set up: We got the PA system with wireless mics setup for the show tonight in T2. I went through all the pieces of content for the drag performance(s) and confirmed sound/adjusted a few levels for the music, some of which were way too loud. I double checked/techd the lighting cues and wrote the info into the event memo for easy access (not everything seems to be accurate on the sheet, which I will update on Wednesday). Additionally, I upda...
