To do this evening/ was completed: Additional staff screening of Godzilla Minus 0 is all set.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built SE shows we still needed for this week.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The screening and Q&A with John Tuturro in T2 went great. Added the title card to the playlist, liased with Wyatt and got chairs and everything setup/tested. The moderator wound up getting the date mixed up and did not show, but he did a Q&A with the crowd, which was wonderful. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested all new content for 11/13 to the LMS as per Kat's trailer sheet. We still need the 5min NYC preshow content for Club Kid. Ingested following:  Heat trailer Glitter trailer Milenium actress trailer 101 Dalmatians trailer Forecasts 11/13 Reconsider This_TheThing Ridiculous Sublime_ KnightsTales Scheduled the rest of T6 aside from Club Kid as we're waiting on the preshow.  Outgo...

To do this evening/ was completed: Someone managed to bend one of the bolts for the triple ADA seats in T2, one of the ones you're supposed to screw in/out by hand. Obviously a tool was used to put this in otherwise it wouldn't have bent. I had to use a wrench and it took a ridiculously long amount of time for me to get the seats out as the guests stood behind me and waited. We should all know how this is done by now, but if you're not sure I'd rather you ask me than do something that's going to be a pain (for someone else) to undo later. These are back in place with a new bolt to replace the bent one. 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: Teched My Brother's Wedding and updated the playlist/cue sheets.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built a playlist for the Only Living Pickpocket Q&A tomorrow night and scheduled it. Just the regular playlist with the logo slide and mic cues at the end. Also built/scheduled Boyz N the Hood . Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Steal This Story Please went very well. Everything has been put away. I did notice that Lillian's Spotify account plays ads so we should use the NPP Projection account (using the prospectparkkdm email) which is Premium. The password in the logins doc is accurate. Spoons went nicely. Everything has been put away. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Boyz N the Hood  and The Devils were delivered to the Deluxe server and I ingested them.  Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was delivered on a hard drive. Ingested to the LMS. Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection:  Asset tracking doc updated/chec...

To do this evening/ was completed: Network has been slow today...Plex is acting up a bit, so keep an eye on it.  Took a chair out in T6 and put it back in safely.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Tech'd and adjusted the playlists for Cat in the Hat, Wild Horse Nine, Godzilla Minus 0. Wild Horse Nine was all good (no changes made there), but Godzilla is quite loud, so it's at 5.0 max right now. Cat in the Hat needed to be brought up to 6.0.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Spaced on the DJ equipment last night, so I cleaned it up first thing this morning. Got everything packed up and back in its place. Ian helped me move the case.  Setup the wireless mic mixer, yamaha, spots board and Aja for Spoons tonight. Tested. There are three mic stands off to the side for them to use when the time comes.  Setup four wired mics and chairs (with one stand off to the side) for the private event in T3 tonight. Everything has been double checked. We can...

To do this evening/ was completed: Big day yesterday, big night.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Realized we did not have staff screenings out, so those are all set, and noticed during this that the keys for Godzilla would not open until 3pm the next day, so I reached out for a new set (mostly for tech purposes since our first screening is just before 4pm.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: All events went super well - Jack and I got the private event in T3 setup, chairs taken out, music on, fidelios ready (although they wound up not needing any of them). John had a quick intro in T2, Jack tackled the Q&As in T2 & 3 while I got the print up and running in T4. Print went super well, all ten reels of it!  Print rewound, all other theatres cleaned up and reset.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Bela Lugosi ingested to the LMS.  Received the feature DCPs for I Play Rocky and Club Kid Outgoing/...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled Steal This Story Please for tomorrow. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I set out three chairs and two mics in T3 for Being Heumann tonight. -These hosts also asked me yesterday how many Fidelio devices we have and to test them all before the show. I told them 7 since that's how many headsets we have. While testing this I also ran into some issues and had to do a lot of troubleshooting. Eventually I determined that channel 1 on the T3 Fidelio TX isn't working, so I had to swap things over to channel 2 (which we don't use), after that and updating the audio mapping on the IMS, it finally worked and I got the VI audio. Note that this means you will have to connect to channel 2a (HI) or 2b (VI) for Theater 3. For tonight, the devices circled below are pre-set to 2b since the hosts specified VI. I also tested all 7 headsets. Turntables are set up for the DJ tonight. O...
