To do this evening/ was completed: Big day yesterday, big night.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Realized we did not have staff screenings out, so those are all set, and noticed during this that the keys for Godzilla would not open until 3pm the next day, so I reached out for a new set (mostly for tech purposes since our first screening is just before 4pm.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: All events went super well - Jack and I got the private event in T3 setup, chairs taken out, music on, fidelios ready (although they wound up not needing any of them). John had a quick intro in T2, Jack tackled the Q&As in T2 & 3 while I got the print up and running in T4. Print went super well, all ten reels of it!  Print rewound, all other theatres cleaned up and reset.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Bela Lugosi ingested to the LMS.  Received the feature DCPs for I Play Rocky and Club Kid Outgoing/...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled Steal This Story Please for tomorrow. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I set out three chairs and two mics in T3 for Being Heumann tonight. -These hosts also asked me yesterday how many Fidelio devices we have and to test them all before the show. I told them 7 since that's how many headsets we have. While testing this I also ran into some issues and had to do a lot of troubleshooting. Eventually I determined that channel 1 on the T3 Fidelio TX isn't working, so I had to swap things over to channel 2 (which we don't use), after that and updating the audio mapping on the IMS, it finally worked and I got the VI audio. Note that this means you will have to connect to channel 2a (HI) or 2b (VI) for Theater 3. For tonight, the devices circled below are pre-set to 2b since the hosts specified VI. I also tested all 7 headsets. Turntables are set up for the DJ tonight. O...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: FYI--the Halloween playlist had the 1.85 lens/masking change pack at the beginning, not the preshow pack.

To do this evening/ was completed: Dark Room program went smoothly. Equipment broken down afterward. LOTR print arrived, in T1. Scheduled some of coming week in LMS. Cat in the Hat is significantly longer than what Filmbot had it listed as so I didn't schedule the theaters that have those shows as I imagine there will be a schedule update.
