To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Double checked the  Heat Lightning  playlist and brought down mics and stands for the intro. The transition between the short film and feature was smooth and all change overs were seamless. Crowd was loving this one. The print shed a bit but it was nothing out of the ordinary for an older film. Mics and stands were brought back up and both projectors were cleaned/exhausts closed The Odyssey was very kindly readied by Alec this afternoon so starting the film was a breeze. I double checked everything before running the print and took note of the guide roller Jack had issues with the other night. While the guide roller is no longer stuck I did notice/hear the film flapping, for lack of a better word, against the abrasion it made when it was cutting into the plastic. Gently pulling the roller to the end of the metal shaft softens the noise since the film runs...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Went through all of the LMS schedule for next week with the updated schedule Matthew sent out last night and made all necessary adjustments. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: 1.37 lenses and plates in place in T1, ran loops on both projectors. Ran a loop in T4 for Odyssey . Cleaned the platter and projector before threading. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content):  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Reached out to HFC for Beavis return labels. Print/video Inspection: I was just checking the Crash inspection report to see if it had all been inspected. This is 1.66, not 1.85! I changed that in the report. Looked at Heat Lightning with Cristina. It's pretty quiet so we set the volume to 10. cues added to the playlist.  We also went through the playlist to check the preshow and the short. All good!

To do this evening/ was completed: Odyssey 35mm went smoothly. Cleaned projector/platter afterward. Scheduled coming week in LMS with some SE exceptions, and the Infants playlist still needs to be made. Beavis and Butthead went smoothly as well. P1 was giving me a decent vertical bounce during the last reel but other than that good show. Print is back on its shipping reels. Responded to Chenelle about the school screenings this week. Spiderman is the only kid-friendly film we have right now so I built and scheduled a playlist for that tomorrow. Preshow starts at 10 am. Ingested Trees Lounge feature to LMS. **I think the Dogville short will need to get tech'd tomorrow as well. I imagine Cristina will mention it but just FYI.** Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maint...
