To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Raised the custom Odyssey pre-show content in the 35mm playlists from 3.5 to 3.8 as MOD radioed saying it was nearly inaudible; the pre-show clips are not mixed evenly but 3.8 should be consistently loud enough for the crowd to hear above the chatter/servers greeting them Built and scheduled an OCAP infants show playlist for Her Private Hell  on 7/28 Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Supercop 2 screening in theater 1 went well; cleaned both projectors before setting up for the first 35mm screening of The Odyssey Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Placed  Supercop 2 back on its shipping reels Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Marquee updated?: Posters updated?: Cleaning lights on for the night?: Projection cart by entrance?: Additio...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Added a dowser close cue at the end of the policy in Odyssey 35mm playlists. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: First Odyssey matinee went smoothly and the second is off to a great start. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): CRU drive with Space Jam arrived, ingested the feature to the LMS. Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: The Space Jam drive wasn't mounting so I rebooted the Screenwriter server which fixed the problem.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Wyatt radioed about the pre-show for The Odyssey in theater 3 sounding lower than normal, apparently this was an issue last week, so I checked the levels in the playlist and everything was cued to its usual volume. It sounded a bit hushed (at 3.5) inside the room, but my assumption is that the clips for this pre-show are mixed low, can't be too certain as there doesn't seem to be this issue in 1 when this pre-show runs ahead of the 35mm, but it did sound way too loud at 4.0 when I raised it Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Continued running The Odyssey in 35mm in theater 1 this evening.
