To do this evening/ was completed: Removed old forecasts and playlists, built all A1 10/16 playlists. Adjusted 2.20 Flat masking in T3, looks good, checked other presets to make sure all are correct. 35mm letters back up as are letters for Social Reckoning and Other Mommy. Posters updated as well. Looked at The Others, all good. Lights up added to playlist. Transferred Mickey and I Am Going To Miss You to T6 and put them on screen, they look and sound good. Inspected the rest of Vampire's Kiss, on house reels. Edward Scissorhands DCP won't be ready until tomorrow. In regard to La Bola Negra trailer, I did take it out of its container folder and still couldn't get it to populate. Who knows.

To do this evening/ was completed: Reminder that masking needs to be set in Theater 3 tomorrow for Other Mommy . It is 2.20:1 Use the 2.00 preset which is buttons 1 and 3 pressed simultaneously on the motor. I already made a 2.20 cue on the T3 Dolby server to activate that preset, so those buttons need to be set to the proper position. Also Heart of the Beast and Coyote vs. Acme letters and posters need to come down. Other Mommy and Social Reckoning letters need to go up and posters hung or updated to now showing. Also the marquee rental on the 35mm side should come down. I left all the 35mm letters out on the bench in 3/7. Don't forget to tech The Others . Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Scheduled all Other Mommy  and Social Reckoning shows Added the new QR clips to all 10/9 playlists. Built and scheduled a Baby Digger playlist for Tuesday NewFest sent their land acknowledgement and anti-piracy clips so I downloaded and ingested them. Trailer Updates: Special Eve...

To do this evening/ was completed: I am still recovering from a bad sinus infection and will likely be taking tomorrow off, but Alec is happy to cover the evening shift. Waiting to hear back from Jack if, on th off chance, he'd be fine with a mid shift.  NewFest tech went well, but they did not send the feature for T3 (Montreal) until an hour before tech, which got in as we were teching) but it is now almost done ingesting. I ingested all slides, the la bola trailer (which, FYI, I know Jack had an issue ingesting this the other day so friendly reminder that sometimes you need to make sure you take the DCP out of the second folder if it comes in two, then it'll ingest just fine!) and the rest of trailers. We tech'd all of New Voices slides and shorts, which have been logged. We'll get our eyes on the Gilead trailer as soon as possible, including the feature of Montreal. Spots info is all set, too. We've managed to get a lot done these past few rounds.  Also, I manage...

To do this evening/ was completed: Ingested Brooklyn Dream feature and slide. Put both on screen at end of night, slide and feature look/sound good. Did not note technical details though so another look tomorrow. Attack the Block went smoothly, print back on shippings reels, mics back in booth. Downloaded La Bola Negra trailer to Share drive but was not able to get it to populate in LMS search. Removed it from Share drive to Documents page in Finder then tried to re-transfer to Share but was unable to. Other Mommy feature added to staff screening playlist. Inspected first two reels of Vampire's Kiss. Good condition so far.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: I built a Social Reckoning playlist for tomorrow and scheduled it. didn't build the 10/9 version since we'll be getting the new QR clip tomorrow. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I set 2.20 masking in all theaters except 3 for Other Mommy . Since I had already saved over the old 2.20 preset for 1.50 ( Primetime ), I used the 2.00 preset for this. The reason I did not change it in 3 is because one of the shorts in the private event tomorrow night is 2.00. So 2.20 masking will need to be set in T3 on Friday for Other Mommy .  Ran loops for Attack the Block tonight. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): A Brooklyn Dream is converting to DCP, going directly into the Share folder. Please ingest to the LMS and Theater 1 when it finishes tonight. There is also a still which should be on screen during the band's performance. It's in the downloads f...
