It's on ABC (channel 507, already up on the cable box). They'd also like to play it with sound. I connected the XLR cables so just switch the projector to Digital Link and turn the amps on and the DJ1&2 volume knob up (and make sure the volume is turned up on the projector). We are all set for Fabulous Stains tonight.  I set the Variable Ratio Masking preset to 1.50 in T3 for Obsession . Ordering/Receivin...

To do this evening/ was completed: School screening for Mando went great in T1 this morning. - LH Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Tech'd and updated the playlist for Fabulous Stains - LH Went to go check out Bev Hills Troop for the private event on Thurs and it was out of sync. I've been attempting to correct this with running the file through Handbrake at 24fps instead of 30 and matching that with a 24fps preset in DCP-o-matic. The audio is still running, so once that's done, please transcode. - LH Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Went through the playlist for and adjusted a few things for the shorts program tonight. Since we do not have Obsession in T3 tonight, I reset the variable ratio masking back to 1.37 and the 1.66 masking cue back to 1.66 proper. We can reset the variable ratio masking tomorrow, though it's not needed til Wednesday, for Obsession. There are two mics in stands off to the side and both have been tested. - LH Ordering/Recei...

To do this evening/ was completed: Updated Dark Room Films playlist with aspect and volume cues. One short, Someone to Steal Horses With, is 1.33 aspect but we haven't updated the variable ratio masking in T3 for 1.33 so we can do that tomorrow if we want to fully mask that short. Updated rest of week's cue sheets with special events info. Started a shipment in Fedex for Master but was told the Express Saver price would be $340, about $120 more than what the new agreement is, so I held off on that. New brunch and 35mm letters up on marquee. Built/scheduled private Mandalorian playlist for tomorrow's school show. Preshow starts at 10.
