Projection 9/10

To do this evening/ was completed: A longer day for ol' Kegg dominated mostly by one event, but managed to pick at a few other things as well.  Presentation Issues: Looking at the slides/preshow for Litany , I couldn't quite figure out the correct lens file it should be shown in. Flat and 1.78 were not quite right because the sides were cut off. 2.00 was the closest I could figure, though it still cut off the top and the bottom a little bit.  As the feature started, Desmond asked me if it was OCAP, which I didn't notice when I teched it that afternoon. Looking at Jack's blog, it looks like it had captions somewhere, but that someone else was supposed to look into potentially burning the subs into the image, but I couldn't find a blog saying anyone had. These were minor things that ultimately went fine, but wanted to note. For some reason, the automation cues for the intro slide didn't fire when I was teching it, even though the ones for the Q+A slide did. I just...

Projection Admin 9/8

To do this evening/ was completed: We got the film schedule today, so I filled out the LMS Friday, 9/11 - Wednesday, 9/16. We're waiting on The Uprising,  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built a tech playlist for NoBudge and checked out all the short films with Desmond today. I adjusted the tech playlist as we went a long, so we can use that when making the official playlist. Everything looks/sounds good.  We also took a look at Bullet (1996) which, frankly, could look better, so Desmond is locating another file.  Trailer Updates:  Special Events/ AV set up: Do the Right Thing private event is all set for tonight! FYI - this is a manual start. Thanks!  Updated the Gang Related playlist for Desmond since he asked to put in the Tupac trailer in addition to Attack the Block.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Received the print of Perfume!  Started on the playlist for Litany for Survival. We did, howev...
