To do this evening/ was completed: Built 10/9 A1 playlists with soon-to-be old QR explainer videos. We'll replace those when they're available tomorrow. Also built most upcoming SE playlists, trailer list updated with initials. Devil and the Deep slide ingested. Scheduled coming week in LMS, excluding Social Reckoning and Other Mommy (waiting on preshow content for both). Cue sheets also built for coming week excluding those two films. 4/6, 1 and 3/7 booths swept/vacuumed. Edie Arnold poster arrived, in 3/7, tube labeled. Briefly met with Kaves and John W. about Thursday's screening. Kaves is supposed to come by around 5pm today with a file for us to convert to DCP, so be sure to start that when it arrives.

To do this evening/ was completed: Your Mother Q&A went smoothly, equipment broken down afterward. Rain continued throughout the night so letters still be up. Held off on reaching out to the SciFi Festival contacts--not sure what the consensus is on using Dropbox to sync with our LMS so we can clarify that tomorrow.  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?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes Marquee updated?: Posters updated?: Cleaning lights on for the night?: Projection cart by entrance?: Additional Notes:

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Cleaning lights in T2 stayed up at the top of the first round despite the pre-show starting as scheduled; manually brought these down a few minutes into the show once I noticed they did not go to the pre-show levels No image on screen in T5 at the start of the feature in the first round; closed and re-opened the dowser which fixed this issue but guests asked that we start the film over (only about 4 minutes had elapsed) Preshow Clips/Playlist: Double checked the playlist for the Your Mother... event this evening and it is good to go Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Monster Squad played without issue this morning Eternal Evil of Asia screening in theater 1 went smoothly save for a few moments throughout the show when splices previously made threw off the framing by a sprocket or two and partially blocked the subtitles Gil asked about "one sheets" for the  Your Mother...  event and I told him we only had two...

To do this evening/ was completed: A reminder about the Your Mother Q&A tomorrow. Jack, you will need to pull the stairs out for the T2 stage, put the stanchions out, and set out two director chairs with mics during the credits. Also the two marquee rentals can come down after 10pm tonight. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: I made a playlist for the Your Mother Q&A show tomorrow. I made a slide alerting the audience to the Q&A and placed it after the policy clip. It's called "Slide_YourMother_QA." Please note this is not a custom slide to have on screen during the Q&A, I put our logo slide in place for that. Updated the cue sheets and LMS schedule for tomorrow. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Newsies private event went very well. Spoons also went smoothly. All equipment has been put away. FYI--they left some bins under the curtain. Michael will come get them during the week. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Orderi...

I looked inside the box to make sure it wasn't another print that had been mislabeled but even the packing slip had the title written down. I re-taped the box and brought it back down on the cart near the side door until it can be returned or picked up by someone from Sony.
