To do this evening/ was completed: Finished inspecting New York New York. Built playlists for Dog Stars. Still waiting on Coyote feature. Scheduled upcoming week in LMS, excluding Coyote and SE shows. Bound went smoothly. Broke down all equipment afterward. Malice did comment about the mic being really hot during the show, it sounded fine to me when I got things ready. We only used the last ten minutes of the forty minute gap between shows to tech, so definitely something that could've been caught during tech had we gone through everything. Desmond brought down mixer volume during performance. Just thought I'd mention because there's another show coming up in a few weeks.

To do this evening/ was completed: Ran house checks. Over the weekend we had a brief complaint during what wound up being the trailers section (in T5) in which a patron said no sound was coming from one of the left side speakers, but I'm assuming it was a centre channel trailer. I went through the playlist that was running at the time, today, and everything sounded normal to me.  Looks like we've got no more Odyssey shows for the rest of the week, but I'm standing by until we receive the new film schedule. I haven't heard anything from Brad at Film Tech just yet.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Bound playlist all set.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Setup the PA - speakers all set, yamaha mixer, wireless mixer for Bound tonight. Few things - I DCP'd the Jennifer Tilly video and added it to the playlist, took out Vigor's performance since they can't make it. Event memo updated. I went through the entire playlist, double checked volu...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Fargo went nicely. Cleaned T4 platter and projector, ran a loop and threaded Odyssey for the first show tonight. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Fargo is packed up and on the cart. Pickup scheduled for tomorrow. Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: I decided to leave the levels for the T1 35mm projectors as Roger set them the other day. P2 is turned all the way up, while P1 is lowered a bit to match, so it makes sense. Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Marquee updated?: Yes, I updated the 35mm and brunch sides. Posters updated?: Cleaning lights on for the night?: Projection cart by entrance?: Additional Notes:

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: 7.5 was super quiet for Fargo . I think after the adjustments Roger made yesterday, we'll have to crank volumes on prints pretty high until we get a new sound reader for P2. Played this at 10 on the 500 and 9.0 on the 750 today, would suggest doing the same for Crash . Other than the first couple minutes being pretty quiet, Fargo ran smoothly. Ran a loop, cleaned the platter and projector in T4. Threaded up Odyssey for 5pm. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: I checked thru all the lenses in T1 Jack mentioned in his blog yesterday. After some minor (re)adjustments, they are all fine. Make sure you put the right plates in each projector, all of this would've been avoided if they hadn't been swapped. I r...
