To do this evening/ was completed: Had our weekly cinema meeting and we're in good shape. Staff Screenings posted to the google cal and on 7shifts. You should have also received a weekly update from me. Please read it! Thanks. - LH Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Scheduled weekend shows and staff screenings on the LMS. The Incredible Shrinking Man has been entered as an Event since there's a special preshow/laptop intro and no requirement for a playlist, you'll just switch sources. Updated the playlists for The Moment with the 5min preshow. - LH Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ran a wire from the mic mixer in T3 all the way to the webcam so this can connect directly for recording and Zoom Q&As. I realized I need a small part to complete this set up, which I ordered. Will finish this up before the Zoom Q&A on the 9th. -A Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested the Romancing the Dead 5min, 15min, 25m...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Updated the "TLR_SE_PrecodeParade_FEB_DancingLady" clip to its newest version ("V2") in all necessary pre-shows this week and next per Kat's request Built CCAP and OCAP show playlists for The Moment and saved them to the LMS (note: the CCAP version has a 7.1 mix which I've added to its playlist but the OCAP is only in 5.1) Trailer Updates:   Special Events/ AV set up: A Few Good Men was not tech'd/did not have a volume cue so I started the feature at 7.0 and adjusted accordingly. Otherwise the screening went well. All reels are tails out on the work bench in booth 1 and can be re-inspected tomorrow. Both projectors were cleaned and the exhausts shut after the show +  Possessor: Uncut screening in theater 4 went smoothly Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Let the Right One In was delivered this evening and brought up to booth 1 Outgoing/...

To do this evening/ was completed: Ran house checks this afternoon (Lillian already detailed in her blog some of the technical issues we ran into in theater 1) - WB NoBudge shorts ingested to LMS. Inspected the rest of Jurassic Park, back on shipping reels for now. Good condition overall. Hank's Saloon screenings and Trees setup went smoothly. Mics back in booths, Trees equipment broken down at the end of the night. LMS mostly scheduled for the week, waiting on a few features. Made DCPs of most of the 9 - 5 tracks, ingested to LMS.

To do this evening/ was completed: Possessor keys open up tomorrow! Can get tech'd first thing in the morn.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Finalized the playlist(s) for Hank's Saloon . Tested spots/mics. See more notes in Special Events. Leon's drive is on the table in 4/6, in its box, all ready to get handed back to him. Spots setting for centre spots in T2 is 301. LH Double checked Road Games . LH  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: DJ is coming in at 7:30 for Hank's Saloon afters. I did a preset with the xlr cables into the dj inputs, the dual rca to xlr is on the table though he will bring his own cabling for this I figured it would be best to have it out anyway, along with a powerstrip and extension cord. It should be a super simpe setup. Showed Jack, who has the dj key to turn everything on. Lauren and Ariel reached out to say they'd take the reins on setting him up, but we'll make sure to check in. I checked in with them this eve...
