To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Wyatt radioed about the pre-show for The Odyssey in theater 3 sounding lower than normal, apparently this was an issue last week, so I checked the levels in the playlist and everything was cued to its usual volume. It sounded a bit hushed (at 3.5) inside the room, but my assumption is that the clips for this pre-show are mixed low, can't be too certain as there doesn't seem to be this issue in 1 when this pre-show runs ahead of the 35mm, but it did sound way too loud at 4.0 when I raised it Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Continued running The Odyssey in 35mm in theater 1 this evening.
