NPP Projection Close 1/21

To do this evening/ was completed: Rest of the returning preshow content ingested. Secret Agent, Sentimental Value and Frankenstein playlists built and scheduled for the coming week. Staff screenings scheduled for tomorrow and Friday. T4 intro went smoothly. Mic broken down afterward. New 35mm letters up. The DJ for Monday's event came by and had a few questions about the setup in Trees, primarily about cable inputs and making sure he'd be able to have a monitor speaker for playback. I think it would be a good idea to make sure all of his inquiries are fully addressed before the event, but sounds like it will be a quick setup, basically just a Serato deck and a monitor.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets updated/checked (every sh...

To do this evening/ was completed: Please remember to post your blogs!  Sent an email to projection with notes on the power house/lamp house switches. Please read when you can for a brush up.  Had our cinema meeting and we're missing our first run feature Secret Agent still, but the keys have come in. Jeffrey alerted them and they're on it, which is why we've received the keys to begin with, but I just sent a follow up email to confirm we received the keys but still need the feature. I have not sent out staff screening info. Update: received feature. Jack will schedule screenings on the LMS once it is done ingesting. I sent out info to staff and reflected this on the google cal.  FYI - Chenelle has two events on 2/5 at the same time and in the same theatre but they're both on hold and we are of course only going to go ahead with one of them.   Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built all Rep R playlists for 1/23 - Few Good Men, Hank's Saloon, Road Game...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: The motor to projector 1 did not start during the changeover between reels 1 and 2 of  You Got Served . Reel 1 ran out and I brought the house lights up before assessing the issue. I tried turning the motor on and off several times to no avail (the machine itself was powered on), made sure all other switches on the machine were in the "on" position, then finally turned it from auto to manual power which seemed to remedy  the problem. I brought lights back down once the motor was rolling properly and had no further issues. I made sure to cycle the power from manual to auto and back again between reels, running it a little each time to see if it wasn't working in any particular setting. It seemed to run just fine in both modes after this and the rest of the changeovers during the show were smooth. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Went through all first run and special events show playlists and lowered the volume cue for the ...

To do this evening/ was completed: LMS scheduled for the coming week with a few exceptions. Still waiting on Sentimental Value DCP and Frankenstein needs a playlist. Cue sheets built as well. Playlists built for The Birds and 13 Going On 30. Marquee updated, brunch side back to usual. Ran loops for tonight and set up mic/mixer in T4. Tech'd Rhinestone, volume logged. Presentation Issues: The color issue in T2, where the top half of the screen goes red, happened again at the start of the first round. I rebooted the projector, and also tried reseating the ICP and LEQD while it was off. On powering back up, the issue happened again, only flashing blue on the bottom half of the screen. I called DMS who indicated the ICP was likely the issue and we cancelled the first show. I found another ICP board in 4/6 and put that into the T2 projector since we had time to test it. This worked, Jack and I watched all the preshow into trailers (and Jack continued into the feature) and there were no ...

To do this evening/ was completed: There's a screener in T3 tomorrow for Sirat, which I ingested to the server today (not the the LMS, just to T3). This should screen at 10:10am.

Thanks!  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the playlist for Rhinestone, the Dolly video of which we will still need to check out.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Checked out Minions today before we opened, just to make sure everything looked/sounded good.

To do this evening/ was completed: Thanks everyone for holding down the fort while I've been recovering from a sinus infection. I've been cleaning the surfaces in the booth.  Face of Another went super well today. We basically had a full house for this, which was really great to see considering the snowy morning. I will ship this out tomorrow morning.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The private event in T6 went super well today. I setup a mic, but turns out they didn't want one in the end. I brought the volume up considerably once it started. Spotlight remote back in the booth. Haven't had a chance to grab the mic/xlr (from T4!) since it overlapped with the 35mm show, it's just off to the side in one of our stands.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Keys for Minions and Sirat came in.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Deleted Little Amelie and Walter Mitty  Print/video...

For the record we do not have any additional posters for this title

NPP Projection Report 1/17 Open

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: When T2 preshow for Little Amelie started there was a strange color glitch going on where about 2/3 of the screen looked red and fuzzy. I tried switching between channels to see if that resolved it but the issue remained. I ended up power cycling, which did the trick. However, roughly 30 minutes into the feature Wyatt radioed me that it happened again but resolved itself. I said I would monitor it and reseat boards (would've started with LEQDs) if there were further issues. Went into T2 and watched the remainder of the movie and there were no more issues. I did not see that second instance of the issue myself, but it was a bit confusing because initially the issue did not seem like something that would just go away on its own. As I mentioned, it didn't go away until power cycling. It also occurred to me that we received a notice about the Little Amelie DCP that there were color space issues, and received an updated versi...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Screened  The Flying Guillotine  for Sundays on Fire and immediately ran into a technical issue at the top of reel 2 on projector 1 as no sound was coming through the speakers in the auditorium or via the processor after the change over was made. I brought the lights up to pre-show levels, alerted the MODs, and got in touch with Cristina about the problem while I was troubleshooting it. I tried flipping the breakers off and on, thinking this might remedy the issue the way it had for the lamp I had trouble striking before the feature (I switched the projector from manual, which would strike the lamp, then back to auto and strike the lamp again from the switch below after switching to auto turned it off...this seemed to work just fine as long as I set it to manual first before doing anything else) but it did not seem to have any effect on the analog sound head's ability to read the track on the print.

To do this evening/ was completed: The clock on the T1 server was briefly corrected then went back to being 31 minutes ahead shortly after. I let Max from DMS (who was working with Dolby to set it) know. I moved the T1 schedules for tomorrow 31 minutes to account for the clock and scheduled shows in there for the weekend. I decided to turn off the scheduler, which automatically powers the projector/server on and off at scheduled times, for Theater 1 so it stays on and we don't risk the IMB connection dropping out again. Will make sure this gets investigated as it would seem the issue is not with the server. Added quick controls to the T1 server.
