To do this evening/ was completed: Both Bugonia print shows went smoothly tonight. Cleaned the projector, decks and rollers after each show. Transferred The Gits DCP to LMS, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang to T2, Below The Clouds to T6. Checked cue sheets at end of the night and saw that we still need to make a playlist for Blade tomorrow. Feature itself is already on T2 server. Presentation Issues: Stepped in to T2 last round to see that the masking cue for Bugonia had not fired, so the film was presented pillarboxed. This was towards the end of the film so I didn't attempt to move the curtains. Didn't want to draw attention to it. When I looked at the playback tab in the IMS I didn't see "Bugonia Masking" attached to the black cue that precedes the feature, but that cue is on the macro controls page.

To do this evening/ was completed: Changed out the lamp in T1 yesterday, That sensor warning is fine - it's been like that.  Both rounds of Bugonia went very well tonight. One thing - I noticed that, when taking out the brain to put it onto the next deck, dust and dirt/residue can pop out of the hole it secures itself into, so be sure to check the print out when you do that, take an air can and graze the top of it with air. Also, try to hold a micro fibre towel under the brain when you lift it up. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: I reached out to Kat for preshow info for Blade .  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Echoing Alec's note in the previous blog about Blade of Fury needing to get circuited to The Music Box in Chicago.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist:  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Nashville had a great show. The print is packed up and ready to go out on the cart, I scheduled a pickup for Monday (a Ground return label came with this print, so Innocent Blood-- and Blade of Fury if that goes out on Monday -- will need to be a separate Express pickup). Projectors have been cleaned. Ran our loop on P1 to focus the 1.85 lens and tape the window for Bugonia after the brunch show. Should be all set for tonight's 35mm shows. Remember to run loops for 1.85 tomorrow before Sundays on Fire. Projector #1 will be focused from  Bugonia shows but #2 won't because Nashville is scope. Also you'll have to re-do the tape masking for both projectors. Also a good idea to run our RP-40 loop on P1 to do the tape masking for Bugonia after SoF, there should be enough time.
