To do this evening/ was completed: No update on the bird situation, at least as of 10 pm. Scheduled first four days of coming week in LMS, excluding Your Mother x3, which still needs a playlist. Built and scheduled both Gotham Shorts programs. *Note*: I could not find the last short for Program 1, We're Not Done Yet. I see it was tech'd and probably I'm overlooking it but right now it's not in the playlist so we need to be sure to add it tomorrow. Zeism went smoothly. We ended up skipping the intro. DJ equipment broken down at the end of the night.  **The last intact Captiview device is no longer intact, the bottom clamp is fully detached from the rest of it.** Took down old brunch and 35mm letters, new brunch letters up. 35mm coming soon. **Got a call from MOD about the showtime display board not showing everything. 3/7 Lenovo computer was pretty much unresponsive save for some program that I couldn't really use (this program was not on the regular home screen but ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Chenelle emailed me back today about the private event on 10/8, which she does not have word on for content just yet, but she'll let us know when she does!

To do this evening/ was completed: T2 leak desisted as the night went on. The booth is dry. Started scheduling Express Saver pickups for our outgoing prints but the price for each print was listed at over $300, which is a little bit higher than what we usually pay, so I held off on making the shipments, but I still brought the prints down to the side entrance. If you ship in the daytime tomorrow, they still need zip ties. Will make Gotham playlists tomorrow.

To do this evening/ was completed: Just FYI - I came in this morning to find that projector 1 had been left on since yesterday. Please remember to turn them off. Thanks! The print of Forbidden Planet went well. All reels have been rewound.

Nothing today.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Got a call from MOD that there was a leak coming down the brick wall in T2, in the theatre space, so I went to go check the booth. The hatch is just fine, but there's a small leak (or was) coming from a few open cracks in the bric...

To do this evening/ was completed: Filling in for Lillian this evening as she is under the weather; very quiet night overall on the projection end of things with new first runs in play and the front of house kept busy Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Despite the producers' wishes to play Heart of the Beast at 7.0 I had to bring its volume down manually throughout the evening since it felt a bit too harsh at that level; this is still at 7.0 in the playlists but I will leave it to Alec or Lillian to decide whether or not this is too loud to continue with  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): No additional NewFest content was delivered this evening 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 ...
