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: 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: 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.

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: 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 ).

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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: 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: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: Added the features to The Love Witch and Trilogy of Terror playlists. Still need PS_MN_Witches for Love Witch . 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 . These went well although Gemini Man was a no show.

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.

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).

Presentation Issues: No presentation issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Gemini Man pre-show has been downloading for over 7 hours now.
