Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cable is stable again in Trees. Thanks to Vlad for running the cables this morning. We now have two options for screening cable in Trees, I tested the one we'd been using (Digital Link) with the new cable run by Vlad and it...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Double checked The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T and Hank's Saloon  show playlists for tomorrow night's events (for the latter, I removed the one trailer but left the welcome, feature, and Romcom tip clips in place before the NH slide which needed to be added for the intro. I also placed a "server skip to next clip" cue here so be mindful of that and/or remove it if skipping ahead manually is preferred. Take a look at this tomorrow morning and adjust accordingly if necessary) Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Finished the rest of the set up for trivia at Trees Lounge this afternoon (thank you Alec for bringing out the table in advance) and placed everything away after the event ended Pulp Fiction encore screening in theater 1 this evening went super smoothly + projectors were cleaned/exhausts shut following the show Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Over Your Dead Body one she...

To do this evening/ was completed: Cutting Through Rocks went smoothly, mics back in booth. LMS scheduled for the coming week. Tech'd Dark Room shorts/playlist with Cristina, all good to go, added some volume cues and Digital 1 cues. Also looked at Soderbergh intro and 5000 Fingers feature, apparently the keys came through though I didn't see them in either inbox. The variable masking preset comes in just a little too much with 1.37 lens file so there's a little bleed at the moment, if someone wants to adjust that tomorrow before the show. Also also looked at SoF print, volume logged. Girls About Town print arrived this afternoon, resting in T1.  Dirty, Difficult... ingested to LMS. Trivia is set up. Did not look at Hank's.... if that needs to be looked at again.

To do this evening/ was completed: Told Cristina we didn't have Girls About Town for tomorrow's tech, but everything else is good to go. I made a playlist the other day for the Dark Room shorts and additional content pieces, all of which have been tech'd, so Jack and Cristina can just tailor things tomorrow. Should be a breeze. Shaolin also ready. - L Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the playlists for Air Bud and Creed - L Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: We are all setup for the Cutting Rocks show in T2 this evening. Three chairs and a mic stand are setup off to the side. Desmond left notes for Jack, which I've confirmed with him. Went through the playlist today and adjusted it to have the correct slide for both the intro and q&a. Mics will be brought down once things kick off but they're currently charging in the booth. - L Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Updated  Mortal Kombat II posters were delivered and stored beh...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Updated the 2/27 Oscars Shorts playlists since they were missing the proper volume cue at the top of the trailers Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Pulp Fiction screening went just fine save for the first couple changeovers being less than stellar. The changeovers were clean but the mechanism was not opening up all the way and I had to pull it the rest of the way by hand. By reels 3 and 4 the changeovers were open and closing smoothly and everything functioned normally for the rest of the show. Cleaned both projectors and closed the exhausts.

To do this evening/ was completed: Quiet night on my end.  Presentation Issues: wall sconce in T5 left side temporarily flickered a bit but stopped. Did not last long at all, seemed like a slight hiccup during a lights transition, plus this was when cleaning lights were on.  Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ingested Air Bud to the LMS.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Inspected all of the SOF print, Martial Arts of Shaolin, which is fine enough condition but there's quite a few splices in the last reel. Please see report.  Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes. Updated Scream 7 formula ever so slightly.  Marquee updated?: Posters updated?: Cleaning lights on for the night?: Projection cart by entrance?: Additional Notes:
