Masking all set.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Adjusted the playlist with the new preshow for You Can See Everything and brought the volume up to 6.0.  Trailer Updates: Ingested new trailers.  Special Events/ AV set up: Setup the yamaha, wireless mic mixer, aja and table for Kevin, with a mic stand. We went through the new preshow and did a show run through (which William will do again this evening before the show. The spots setting for this is 602, and we'll keep house lights all the way down for the entire show (just not when they're playing the game towards the end). Kevin is printing out a new ROS since he wanted to make some changes (this usually happens, will be no big).

To do this evening/ was completed: Tiger Rising DCP going in T1. Built Fjord playlists and rescheduled LMS. Built 10/16 - 10/22 cue sheets. Edie Arnold went smoothly. Mics back in the booth. NewFest letters are up on the marquee. 35mm still needs to be updated. Edward Scissorhands ingested to T5 at end of night. It took so long somehow. Quickly skimmed through the DCP in T5, looks and sounds good. Built and scheduled playlist for 10:00 am in T5. Got locked out of Signiant somehow so Spook downloading will have to resume tomorrow.

To do this evening/ was completed: Staff Screenings are out on 7shifts, blocked on the calendar and scheduled on the LMS. The keys for You Can See Everything and Fjord will open tomorrow.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Please build the playlists for Fjord this evening. Thank you! Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ran through and adjusted the playlist a little bit volume/masking wise for Edie Arnold, the hosts of which have been setting up a standee in Trees. Four wireless mics for this, and four chairs.  Devilman is ready for tonight (FYI I also adjusted this since the opening text for both episodes are 1.85, not 1.33, but I added simple masking cues to make everything look more polished for when the masking should change for each one.   The DCP of Edward Scissorhands is almost done ingesting to the LMS for the private event tomorrow. Please build a playlist for this once it's done. The private event is at 10:30, so preshow starts a half ho...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled a show playlist for Edie Arnold is a Loser with intro and Q&A slides included (these are identical) but this is missing its custom "5min" pre-show (I reached out to Kat for the content which can be added to the playlist as soon as it's available on the shared drive) Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Set up the turntable for Owen Kline's afterparty set + put everything back after he and the rest of the afterparty guests left Trees Lounge Tech'd the spots and laptop connection with Cristina and Karina ahead of the Devil and the Deep screening; intor and show went smoothly Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): One sheets for Mr. Irrelevant , The Rescue , and  Josephine were delivered this evening and stored behind 3/7 Ordering/Receiving (content): Blu-ray copy of The Tiger Rising for Jess's event in December was delivered and brought up to 4/6...

To do this evening/ was completed: Just a note on Jack's entry from the other day regarding the sound processor. So, this was also happening to me a bit but I'd reseat the 673 (the horizontal board that connects to the ribbon cable for the screen), unplug and then plug in the processor again, and it'd work. Just FYI - issues with the screen almost always means that nothing is wrong with the underlying processor itself, which is great, but what isn't is not being able to see the volume or track preference... Right now it still takes a moment to turn on if you leave it a bit, but I understand that's a little unsettling, so I've replaced the T1 673 with the 673 from T6.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Precode playlist set.~~ Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Note!! The DCP for the private event Wednesday ( Edward Scissorhands ) is still transcoding and will likely finish early tomorrow morning, but keep an eye on it tonight just in case.  S...
