To do this evening/ was completed:  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Converted and updated the intro slide (RIP Sam Neill) for Jurassic Park III  at Desmond's request Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: World Cup semifinal on at Trees this afternoon Set up and tested the turntable at Trees for the Pre-Code Parade screening after party; broke down everything once the DJ set ended (Mr. Kline got the memo and was done within an hour) Ran loops prior to Love Me Tonight . All went well save for the changeover between reels 3 and 4. With my head craned over the machine to see the cues I did not realize that the lamp in projector 1 was off, presumably from the heat in the booth pushing it to its limit, and changed over to reel 4 and a black screen. I stopped the film and quickly tried powering the lamp on and off again, switched it from auto to manual and flipped the power switch a second time to no avail, and finally resorted to throwing the breakers off and...

To do this evening/ was completed: Ingested FLAT Odyssey feature to LMS. Scheduled coming week in LMS excluding Josie and the Pussycats.  State Your Name went smoothly. One of the T1 mics was not turning on, and when I would connect it to the charging dock the charging lights would not come on, but they would come on for other microphones. I ended up connecting one of the T2 mics for the Q&A. Equipment broken down afterward and hard drive returned to the director. Started converting DarkRoom shorts: 7 Piano Sketches converting right now. Third box of the Odyssey print arrived. Put it with the others in T1.

To do this evening/ was completed: Built playlist for She's the Man. Waiting on content for the other SEs. Ingested State Your Name to LMS and T1. Put it on screen in T1, looks and sounds good. 4.0-4.2 sounds good for volume, double-check tomorrow if you like. No credits, just fades out right at the end. Reached out to John about the preshow for State Your Name. We don't have a specific Graffiti preshow, only Generic NYC and Brooklyn. He said he'd reach out to Kat. I'm sure we'll have an update tomorrow. For now I built a playlist for the show with Generic NYC preshow content. Saw the emails about transferring Fountain print to Roxy. Are we going to schedule shipping or just do a pick-up like we have previously with Illyse? New brunch and 35mm letters up. Continued on with NoBudge51: Old Fantasy and Power Lines converted and designated to Share drive.
