It's pretty clean now, but since the only thing that loves dust more than a 35 projector is a 35 print, I figure it can't be too clean.

Presentation Issues: No presentation issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the Blue Velvet playlist with preshow and trailers, still waiting on the feature which is arriving tomorrow. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Double checked the show playlist for Halloween tonight. It's all set. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): New Trail Mix drive came in. Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Teched Slayer: The Repentless Killogy in Theater 2. The feature has three parts: a ten-minute interview portion, a 40-minute short film, and an hour and a half of concert footage. There are different volume cues for each section. The first two are scope footage in a flat container (letterboxed) but the concert is flat 1.85:1 so we will show it with the normal flat lens file and masking. Updated the event memo with the current timing. The playlist is all good to go unless an intro or Q&A is added. -Checked the L...

Presentation Issues: No issues Preshow Clips/Playlist: Pulled PS_LateNightLynch from EVO and ingested it. -Built B1 playlists for trailer changes on Wednesday 11/6. -Built Annie and Slayer playlists. -Built schedules for Friday 11/2 - Thursday 11/7 Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Set-up/sound check with Morricone Youth for Live Sound Cinema in Theater 1. This served as a training session for me, so I learned a lot more about how the digital mixer works and running the bands soundcheck. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Annie and Slayer: The Repentless Killogy have both arrived and been ingested . Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Checked the Blue Velvet trailer, Albert Brooks tip PSA, and the updated STFU_PoliceState slide.

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: I built the '110119' adult playlists ( Annie is our only all ages show in this scheduling block). Karen and I discussed what to do with our new naming conventions, and agreed that each week we will start back at A1 — which is what these playlists are currently labeled as. Waiting on new cue sheets (from MOD?) for scheduling. Trailer Updates: built the '110119' and '110619' adult trailer packs (note: Frozen 2 is included in the 110619 pack, as currently listed on the trailer doc) Special Events/ AV set up: An Evening With Victoria Price . This went really well. Michael stayed to help set up director's chairs/hand out mics/operate our ceiling-mounted spot lights (which are an excellent addition to theater 3). Thanks Michael, it was a huge help. Intro by Caryn, followed by the art-related shorts, and then an extended q&a with Victoria. This was recorded, and uploaded to EVO later in the night. The ...

Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist:  -Here is what I have pulled off EVO today for next week's trailer assignments: TLR_BlueVelvet STFU_Update102819 TLR_Nightmare PS_MarriageStory (40, 20, &10) Here is what we are still waiting on to be uploaded to EVO, so please keep an eye out: NovA_CardUpdate110119 TIP_AlbertBrooks PS_SE_LateNightLynch Trailer Updates: I pulled Waves from TrailMix and ingested it into TMS since Matthew had mentioned it in his email, even though it's not listed on the trailer list. **I am assuming that the adult trailer list for 11/6 is a typo where Frozen 2 is listed and we should slide in either Uncut Gems or Waves Special Events/ AV set up: Everything is good to go for Vincent Price tonight. Playlist and automation is good. Mics are hooked up and tested, our new spots look great. We got new stand alone spots for TH3. There is a tiny remote that we will find a permanent home for behind the screen but for now, please keep...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: Night Gallery (as part of secret Monday TV Nite). Masking and lens cues looked perfect on screen. A small but enthusiastic crowd. No problems. I deleted the feature file from projector 3 after the show. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: see Nest ** for tomorrow: I moved equipment necessary for the Vincent Prince show (mini-mixer, two mics, XLRs) down to booth 3/7 for the big show. Karen, if you have a chance to hook these up during your admin shift I would appreciate it very very much, thank you Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): we received a new poster for Ford v. Ferrari . It's in its tube in booth 3/7. Ordering/Receiving (content): received and ingested new keys for Jojo Rabbit Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: I looked at a bit of the Vincent Prince playlist on screen in theater 3 to get a sense of the showflow. I changed the placement of the pause cues of the q&a sl...

Presentation Issues: The lamp for the projector in TH4 would not stay on while I was testing playback in that house. I cycled the lamp on and off several times and it would come on and then shut off automatically. I eventually got a power supply failure warning as well. DMS is of the opinion that this is a part failure that will not be stable until it is replaced (a few days from now). On my final attempt at cycling the lamp again, I did it from the physical touch panel inside the booth. So far the lamp is staying on. From my understanding we are going ahead with screenings until DMS comes in to service the projector. For the projectionist, this is the only thing you can do should the lamp go out on you: Go to the physical Christie touch panel in booth 4/6, acknowledge all warnings, dismiss the cool down pop-up and cycle the lamp off and back on, sometimes it will take a couple cycles. If you are in the middle of playback with an audience, don't forget to pause the playlist first...

Presentation Issues: First round in TH6 was missing the vocal audio when the sound went to surround (meaning it was fine until the trailers and feature started). Eventually, after ejecting and restarting the playlist, rebooting IMS for TH6 and cycling power on the CP750 sound processor, Michael and I figured out that two QSC amps had lost power. I found alternate power supplies for both to troubleshoot and that solved the problem. I then went ahead and reset all breakers going to the A/V rack and was able to plug the amps back into their original power outlets. The turn around time for the resolution of the sound issue was about 20-25 minutes. MOD decided to cancel the show.

Presentation Issues: None. Very simple all-first run night with a couple manual starts. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Alec made a bunch of new playlists for the week's changes and scheduled them. Thank you Alec!

Presentation Issues: No presentation issues. The scope macro on the Christie in Theater 2 is completely back to normal. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Decided to schedule the Halloween playlist three minutes early rather than having to skip ahead when it starts. We should still skip ahead manually for Night Gallery on Monday 10/28 since the show follows a short flip. Trailer Updates: I made new trailer packs for when trailer assignments change this week. I also made updated playlists for first runs, with the naming "B1" for the trailer change on Tuesday 10/29 (removing the Vincent Price trailer) and "C1" for the change on Weds. 10/30 (removing NOTLD and adding Uncut Gems ). These new playlists have been scheduled. Special Events/ AV set up: None Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): We have another drive for Night of the Living Dead coming from Janus Films which is set to arrive on Monday. I expect we will not be using thi...

Presentation Issues: There were none- the scope macro for the theater 2 projector fired just fine for the next Parasite  showing, so hopefully that means it was a one-time problem. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Ingested Night of the Living Dead & build the playlist, ready to go for Wednesday. Trailer Updates: n/a Special Events/ AV set up: n/a Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): n/a Ordering/Receiving (content): n/a Outgoing/Shipping (content): n/a Print/video Inspection: QC'd NOTLD, playlist is updated.

Presentation Issues: For some reason the lens macro did not switch to scope at the beginning of Parasite in Theater 2. The Christie touch panel had the scope macro selected but the picture was projecting in flat. All I had to do was manually select the scope macro and this did the trick. It was fixed by the end of the opening logos. I'm going to go over this with Erin so she knows what to do for the next round and I will try and get this lens file back to normal before opening tomorrow. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Bumped up the feature volume in the Jojo Rabbit playlist to 6.0 since it sounded quiet to me at the staff screening. -Built and scheduled the Halloween playlist. Trailer Updates: None. Special Events/ AV set up: Staff screenings of The Lighthouse (Theater 7) and Jojo Rabbit (Theater 3). These went well. -I sent an email to projection about this, but we will need to advance the preshow manually for Night Gallery (10/28) and Halloween (10/31) since they are both...

Presentation Issues: The source file for the scope screen file in Theater 2 had been accidentally switched to 1.19:1, making Parasite look very awkward. Natasha radio'd me when a customer mentioned it and Michael showed me what went wrong. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the Night Gallery playlist and completed the Beetlejuice playlist. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Halloween DCP arrived and has been ingested to TMS. Michael also brought over a drive with the content for NSF closing night, I copied everything to the "poopoopants" drive. Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Teched all three parts of The Lighthouse preshow. Looking good. -Teched Night Gallery in Theater 3, it is all set with masking and the 1.37 screen file. -Teched the All Ages Halloween preshow, it looks good except for a few of the clips which appear to have dropped frames. My gue...

Presentation Issues: There were no presentation issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist:  -Dropped the new Nov_A card into all playlists -Updated the 2014 adult trailer pack with a few pieces of content that were missing. -Teched all new content (with the exception of T he Lighthouse preshows 40,20,10) . **We are going to do this from now on. Every piece of content downloaded from EVO needs to have eyes on it. (Williamsburg recently had an issue with a preshow file that appeared to have downloaded correctly all of a sudden lose video in the middle of presentation. ) Can someone please take a look at The   Lighthouse preshows? - I could not ingest the generic all ages Halloween playlist as there were other things still downloading from EVO when I left so I made the Beetlejuice playlist without it, it will need to be added. Question:  I followed Kris's trailer list build for the Beetlejuice playlist but Matthew had mentioned in his email that he wanted kid's trailers ...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: Grabbed all new preshow content for the week and updated playlists. Scheduled for the weekend. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ingested the new Marriage Story trailer and updated the trailer pack for the coming week. Also grabbed the Uncut Gems trailer from Trail Mix to add to the pack on 10/30. Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Teched The Lighthouse in Theaters 1, 2, and 5. I adjusted the "masking FLAT 133" cue in 1 and 2 to bring the curtain in just a little bit more, the aspect ratio is 1.19:1 which hasn't really been used since the silent era. It's not perfect in either house but its as far as the curtain can safely go. In theater 2 I had to overwrite the "Masking FILM 2.39" macro, I renamed it to "masking FLAT 133." I also overwrote the "137 DCP" screen file to m...

Presentation Issues: The final round of theater 1 had the wrong show scheduled. Parasite was scheduled in a Joker spot. I checked the cue sheets and scheduler last night and I apologize for somehow missing this. Fortunately this was caught before we seated the theater, and Joker ran without a problem. Additional Notes: Erin was here and shadowed me most of the night Preshow Clips/Playlist: Erin built the Lighthouse  playlist. We do not have the Lighthouse-specific preshow, so we decided to use Generics instead. Once we get the preshow we can just swap it in. (Playlist is currently scheduled for Thur/Fri) ** I asked Erin to schedule shows for Friday using the 102419 playlists. We have a couple of manual starts and missing KDMs, but otherwise we are good to go. *** we do not have the 'Generic_Halloween_AllAges' preshow that is listed for Beetlejuice (and I don't see it on EVO). For this reason I did not build the Beetlejuice playlist. Projector 1 is also pretty ...

Presentation Issues: No presentation issues first round. Preshow Clips/Playlist: n/a Trailer Updates: n/a Special Events/ AV set up: I walked Erin and Dylan through setting up the mini-mixer in TH3 since I had already set it up yesterday before BHFF and we left it set up for tonight. Mics are tested and they are good to go. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): We got more Marriage Story posters. Ordering/Receiving (content): The Lighthouse has come in and been ingested. FYI, apparently, Eclair has a handy fail-safe that doesn't let you see any of your content if you don't take all the files. Originally, I ingested only the CC file since it was the OV file and left the OC (VF file) and the movie wasn't showing up in TMS until we went back and grabbed all the files. Outgoing/Shipping (content): n/a Print/video Inspection: Teched and did the run of show of Vincent Price with Caryn. Teched 5.1 playlists with Kris, he is going to tweak them a bit so for...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the Jojo Rabbit playlist, began sending out content and scheduling for Thursday (see Matthew's updated schedule). In order to not clog up TMS, I only scheduled Jojo for theater 1 — we can schedule the other shows and send out feature content tomorrow. * built 102419 playlists for our adult shows, scheduled them for Thursday ** updated the scheduler for Thursday with the updated playlists based on the new schedule that includes Lighthouse Trailer Updates: Built the 102419 Adult trailer pack Special Events/ AV set up: Blood & Flesh via Brooklyn Horror Fest. Karen stuck around and showed me the festival show flow, and walked me through the set-up with the mini mixer in theater 3 (we also added two more microphones to accommodate extra guests). BHFF decided right before show time to do the q&a with no chairs instead of the 5 we almost used. Q&A was recorded to camera and uploaded to EVO. Gear has been tu...

Presentation Issues: There were none. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Made a Vincent Price pre-show for teching with Caryn tomorrow. Dropped the feature and PL into TH3. Just missing the art slide show and VP static slide for the intro/Q&A. Put in an ask to Kris about these elements. I added a cleaning lights cue for the BHFF film fest Q&A portion. I think any Q&A's happening in the smaller theaters (without the LED cleaning lights) where we don't have a lighting panel should be done with cleaning lights on. The new 5.1 pre-shows are taking a while to load and so I have asked Dylan to transfer those to TH1,5,7,6 tonight so they are all ready for Kris tomorrow morning. Trailer Updates: n/a Special Events/ AV set up: We had a 10 am walk through/meeting about the private STB event for 11/3 in TH6. We decided on cleaning lights during the talking parts/contests in lieu of spots/stage wash. We showed Michael how to control the house lights so that on the day of we can...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): We have a "Halloween Combo" drive arriving on Tuesday. It will include Beetlejuice (the brunch movie next weekend) along with four other features ( Nightmare on Elm Street, Lost Boys, The Shining, and The Exorcist ). I suppose we should hang onto this drive for the showing of Elm Street in November? Outgoing/Shipping (content): I printed and attached shipping labels to the Over the Edge print. As I was bringing it to 3/7 to put it on the cart my key broke and I was unable to remove the broken piece from the lock so I brought the print back up to 4/6 and placed it by the rewind bench. I scheduled a pickup with FedEx for tomorrow 10am - 3pm.

I'm going to start with additional notes so it isn't missed :-) Additional Notes: I've noticed that some of us are forgetting to email the blogs out after publishing, blogger is still down so please remember to do this. On that note, everyone please read Daniel's blog from 10/19 close. There are important notes regarding what to do after you are trying to restart from a fire alarm. Daniel, thank you for your thorough notes that you left on the desktop. These are so helpful and will be incorporated into the Projection Manual. Also, everyone please read the doc on the projection mac desktop that is called "fire alarm instructions".  If you have questions after reading it, please ask! Presentation Issues: No presentation issues Preshow Clips/Playlist: n/a Trailer Updates: n/a Special Events/ AV set up: BHFF 1BR ran great. They did change things up from the event memo for the intro AND the Q&A so make sure you are checking in with Liz before the star...

Presentation Issues: The fire alarm went off this evening, so I had to go from booth to booth resetting the lighting panels. There was an issue with the panel in 3/7, which wouldn't allow me to turn off the lighting override. Finally I called Michael, who was incredibly helpful as always, and advised me to flip all the breakers labeled "rack." I did this, and regained control of the lighting panel without interrupting playback (which was my fear). We cut significantly into the following preshows, and I ran trailers with the lights up.

Presentation Issues: TMS went completely offline during the last flip. I did a hard reboot and ran the last round through IMS. Unfortunately TMS was still super glitchy after the reboot, and took a while to fully come back. Fortunately it didn't cause any problems tonight. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): I checked Saturday and Sunday against Matthew's schedule and the event memos. Swallow and 1BR  run long in scheduler because of an extra 15 minutes of ad-loop, but will be fine if we only play 30 minutes of ad-loop (as the event memo indicates). Just noting it here, because it confused me at first. ***I noticed that Joker had been automated for the second round in TH5 on Saturday. Both the cu...

Presentation Issues: There were no presentation issues this evening. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: made new 101819 trailer pack and updated all playlists with the new trailer pack (the playlists themselves are still named 101719, otherwise I would have had to delete and reschedule the whole week). In the future we should be mindful of upcoming changes and not to schedule too far in advance and create work that will have to be redone. The all ages playlist are still named 101119 for the same reason. Special Events/ AV set up: Opening night of BHFF went great. Intro and Q&A went smoothly. Erin tagged along for the evening and was a great help.  The Q&A has been uploaded to the folder in Evo. All equipment has been returned to their homes.

They do not go live until 8 am tomorrow. I have sent it to TH2 to tech. Sony has placed a hold on our keys for Zombieland . Our booker is working to resolve this issue. Be aware that the credits start time might change on the cue sheet once it is teched tomorrow. Alec, if this hasn't been resolved by the time you come in tomorrow morning, can you reach out to Jeffery Jacobs  jacobsfilm@gmail.com  ? Also, our keys for VFW are set to expire BEFORE the screening on 10/24 (at 3 am the morning of). We should reach out to Justin to address this. Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: added Zombieland 2 feature to the Zombieland playlist, along with volume and lighting cues ** I deleted the Zombieland 2 playlists from the theater 1 scheduler over the weekend since there is basically no space open on that projector at the moment. Continued scheduling shows for Thursday through Sunday. Maybe reassess in the morning whether or there's anything else we delete from there and/or can just send Zombieland over anyway. *** I also deleted Bell Book & Candle from projector 3 since we really need the room. The drive is still in house and can be reingested whenever we need it. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Love Witch in theater 1. All DCP show.

Presentation Issues: There were no presentation issues that affected our guests. However, at 1:55 the entire TMS went completely offline. It said that we had no license and the first thing I noticed was that it was not able to see the external hard drive as I was in the middle of trying ingest the Zombieland and Parasite pre shows. Then I looked over and saw that everything was blacked out. I couldn't see playback status, the scheduler, or have any manual control of macros or playback. I immediately opened all IMS screens to see if I could view playback that way and have control and check to see that the automation was still scheduled. Everything appeared to be fine and the next pre-show (scheduled at 2:00) started automatically. I didn't see an obvious TMS contact in the vendor sheets and I already had all the MOD in the booth so Gil called Billy who counseled me to reboot the system. I was just nervous to do that while the movies were seemingly playing back just fine. Aft...

Presentation Issues: There were no presentation issues today. Preshow Clips/Playlist: I double checked The Love Witch playlist and there was no lights mid cue towards the end of the feature even though it has been marked as teched. I dropped one in blindly at 30 seconds after the credits are supposed to start according to the asset tracking doc. I will double check this on the screen tomorrow morning and make any changes. Still missing PS_MN_Witches from playlist. Started downloading the Zombieland and Parasite preshow files from Evo.

Made preshow DCPs and built playlists for all our BHFF screenings. We are still awaiting the feature Swallow from CineVizion however, so this is missing from the playlist. (Handy hint: I downloaded Filemail's desktop application to the iMac, it downloads files much faster and they arrive unarchived, no need for Keka). Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Craft with an intro in Theater 1. This went very well! Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested Trilogy of Terror and sent to theater 7 and ingested The Love Witch and sent to Theater 3.

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: Downloaded/made DCPs/ingested the preshow files for The Beach House and Swallow . -Downloading preshow clips for  1BR and Blood and Flesh , Daniel can you start unzipping these with Keka as you're leaving for the night? -Built the playlist for The Beach House . Since we are showing only 30 minutes of a 48 minute clip for preshow I think we should run these shows semi-manually so we can fade the music on preshow, dowse the projector, and skip to the next clip when the time is right. Trailer Updates: Loaded the updated NSF and Vincent Price trailers and added to this week's playlists. Special Events/ AV set up: Staff screenings of Gemini Man and Addams Family .

The only thing I noticed was some vertical base scratches, which on screen would appear on the right side of the frame, at the point where the film starte...

Presentation Issues: Unfortunately the take-up belt on Projector 1 snapped in the middle of the third reel of Over the Edge , and the film started spilling over. We had to stop the show and wind everything back onto the reel, which was a very labor-intensive process. I'm very glad that Alec was here for this and showed me how to fix the belt. The show was stopped for about 10 minutes, so the Q&A ran slightly over and I started Joker a little late to accommodate. *** No other issues with any other shows. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Over the Edge on 35mm in Th1. We ran the lights and audio switches manually, and I offloaded the Q&A recording onto the desktop in 4/6.

Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: I think we finally have all of our new preshow elements off EVO. It took 3 restarts from me over the past two days. As I am leaving all the files look to be there and I left it to Alec to ingest and check on screen. Updated Over the Edge Playlist with new cues (see below). Updated Wizard of Oz playlist with new cues. Made a playlist for Gemini Man with lighting and volume cues, it just needs the preshow and updated October card dropped in. Trailer Updates: Swapped out Jumanji for Addams Family in the Wizard of Oz playlist Special Events/ AV set up: I set up the lighting board and the mini mixer with three mics in TH 1 for tonight's Over the Edge Q&A. Tested the standard lighting wash and optimized gain levels on all mics. You can just use the individual mic volume knobs to fine tune to the varying voice levels.

Presentation Issues: No presentation issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Gemini Man pre-show has been downloading for over 7 hours now. I noticed it has been hung up on the 40 min marker file so I stopped the download and re-grabbed the last three missing files from the folder off EVO and started the download again. It seems to be moving along and will be ready by tomorrow morning. I made the new adult trailer pack for 10/11.
