To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Updated the Chocolate Babies show playlist with the restored feature content and added timing for credits Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Double checked Stolen Kingdom in theater 3 prior to the first round...thought about adjusting the feature volume but the mix is too low at 4.0 and loud enough at 4.5 Ran loops in 1 for Strangers on a Train this morning. Ended up running the print with the curtains at 1.33 since the 1.37 cue kept reverting the masking back to 1.85. I have a feeling this has to do with changes made to the settings for Obsession since that film needed a custom preset but I could be wrong. For now I have updated the playlist to open the curtains to 1.33 but this can be better remedied tomorrow since the encore screening is not until 9:15PM. The show went smoothly and the print is heads out beneath the rewind table Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (c...

To do this evening/ was completed: Deeply quiet night on my end with the exception of a lovely visit from some Red Hook pals.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Copied the video file for Chocolate Babies over to its place in the Share folder.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Spoons went well. I broke down all the equipment and put it away after. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Multiple attempts to download the 4K Chocolate Babies DCP from Dropbox via the browser failed so I just started a free trial so I could sync the video file with the Dropbox folder on the desktop. This is really the only reliable way to download large files from Dropbox, it seems. Everything else looks like it downloaded completely the first time, so once the video file is done syncing, copy it into the Share folder and we should be able to ingest this.

To do this evening/ was completed: Fairly low-key day, we're in good shape for the week ahead.  New first run letters up on the marquee. Tech'd Heroes for Sale, volume logged. Inspected the first two reels of Butterfly Effect, excellent condition. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Continued building out the rest of this week's playlists, though we are still waiting on the 6/12 trailer list. Disclosure Day playlists all set for Thursday.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Sent a bunch of our info/tech specs to the folks we're getting Fancy Dance from.  Spoons equipment is off to the side for tomorrow morning, though I shifted the table and cables a bit as they'd been pushed back too far near the masking motor/cord and we don't want anything getting trapped.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested Spielberg preshow elements.  Ingested and tech'd Chocolate babies.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): F...
