Presentation Issues: -In the last round in TH1 and TH2 the new scope masking cue didn't fire at the beginning of the playlist. Even though I had made the changes to the playlists AND tested them last night before I left and they worked. I am assuming this is because I didn't change the playlist in the TMS last night only in the IMS (because doing so would've broken the links in TH 3,5,7). And when the new day started, it got confused? Although, I would think we would have had problems in TH 4 & 6 as well... Curious. Either way, all new cues are built in every house and renamed everywhere. Macros work everywhere as well. I went from house to house at the end of the night and tested everything. - While I was doing this, and finished in TH3, I went to shut off the projector and accidentally shut off TH7 instead. Gil radioed me that the theater lost image (I think there was like 12 minutes left in Jumanji). I got it back up and stepped it back 5 min to restart the show...

Presentation Issues: There were no presentation issues. **Only got 1 call about masking (not bad, given yesterday- thank you, Karen) in theater 2 for Star Wars, the first scope show of the day in that theater. There is work yet to do with recalibrating the masking, so just be aware and let us know if you see any image running onto the curtain.

Presentation Issues: Little Women 35mm went very well. The print continues to look beautiful. When I came in and chatted with Erin about her day she mentioned getting a call for a masking cue not firing. We figured out that it had to do with Dan's (from DMS) work on the masking. We did some practical trouble shooting in between shows in TH4 and discovered that I had no TMS macro control over masking in TH 1, 4 & 6 and the cues were not firing within the playlists, but I did have control in the IMS. I tried to stay ahead of the manual masking changes in the upcoming shows but missed TH2 since I didn't even know he had gone in there. Servers had to radio me during the scope trailers since the masking was still on flat. I changed all the masking cues on each local server to match the renamed cues that Dan had made in TH 1,2,4,6 so at least we would have automation in the playlists. Once that was accomplished, I finished building the new macros in houses 3,5,7 to match ...

Presentation Issues: The masking cues for theaters 1, 4 & 6 aren't firing. Coincidentally these are the only theaters Dan has been working in to get the 35 up and running, and tweaking the masking macros to fit digital/film aspects. The curtains will work fine when we control them from either the IMS or manually with the motor under the screen, but the macros won't fire from the playlist or from TMS macro executions. I tried to figure out how to reprogram them, but it is limited what I can test while the theater is open. **Conveniently because of how are playlists are set up because of our squeaky motors, this is only a problem going from movie to movie, not within the playlists themselves. (As in, I only had to manually change the masking in each of these theaters once because they were only showing Scope films). Still a problem since Michael is the one who would best know how to solve this. Karen is up to speed on this and will start troubleshooting when she can. Pre...

Presentation Issues: During the dinner round in TH3, "Bombshell" lost sound about 50 minutes into the feature. A quick glance at the rack in booth 3/7 showed that all components were working fine. I radioed for the MOD to stay in the theater. I stopped the show, shuttered the projector, and brought the house lights up. I then proceeded to mute the processor and cycle power on the amplifiers, unmuted the processor and restarted the feature briefly. Once the MOD confirmed that sound was back, I backed up the playlist by 7 minutes and restarted it. The whole fix took about 1-2 minutes.

Presentation Issues: none Preshow Clips/Playlist: I bumped Star Wars volume down to 5.5. I sat through the first hour and a half or so this morning and my ears got pretty tired. The movie doesn't have a ton of dynamic range but at the previous setting, it seemed baseline loud the whole time, even during the talking scenes. It's tricky with movies like this, because it should be decently loud (it's a movie about a battle in outer space, for crying out loud, it's literally in the title), but I think the quieter scenes should be moments of relief rather than continuing to be kind of loud. Either way, that's my opinion. Gotta think of the poor servers, too, who probably have to endure another 4-5 weeks of this movie and shouldn't suffer long term hearing damage.

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: -I inspected reels 1-4 of Little Women and made up the first 4 reels onto the platter. Also added the first automated foil cue. Here is what I would like to have done before we run it for its first screening: 1) run an RP40 loop to do a final check on the aperture plate, check the shutter timing, etc. 2) run the print once to tech for volume, timing of credits, and getting the lighting cue timing, focusing the lamp **because I want the lamp off/changeover foil automation cue to happen, I will place an initial lights mid foil on the print but I will build the rest of our lighting cues into the TMS playlist we will be running behind the print (and hopefully accurately do the math to account for the offset). 3) run th...

Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Took a look at the first reel of LW. It is of course brand new and without splices or flaws that I could detect. A thing of beauty. It's back to heads out on its shipping reel. Karen, I'm thinking if you can get the actual plattering started tomorrow, I'll have plenty of time to finish whatever's left on Wednesday. I have no trouble getting the reels on the platter with the cutting and splicing, it's just the initial inspection and setup I didn't want to mess up. We could run it on Thursday in between shows, maybe knock out some of that e...

Presentation Issues: -At the beginning of the dinner round Star Wars movie, there was a lighting cue misfire where the house lights came up a few minutes into the feature but they were brought back down quickly and the cue was fixed in the playlist before any other showings. -During the last round of Knives Out in TH4, the lamp went out on the projector. I cycled power through the VNC and turned the lamp back on and opened the dowser. This solved it. The playlist was still playing and there was still sound coming through, once I got the lamp back on, I backed up the playlist a few minutes and restarted it. This all took about 2 minutes. Preshow Clips/Playlist: -Made the Little Women DCP playlist and scheduled it.

Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Finalized It's a Wonderful Life for brunches this weekend. I added 10 minutes of generic preshow to the beginning to give it an even 40 minutes before the feature starts, just for continuity. * I made a scope version of "Hey Kids" PSA, and dropped it into the all ages playlists. I removed all redundant scope lens/masking cues from every playlist with a scope feature. ** Made trailer packs for 12/25 (scope/flat, adults/all ages). Will need to tech those for volume cues at some point. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Set 1.33 masking in theater 3 for brunch shows this weekend.

Presentation Issues: There were no issues for the first two rounds. Preshow Clips/Playlist: -Double checked all playlists and trailer packs through 12/24 for errors and content. -Scheduled all correct playlists for today (they were the wrong (dated) playlists, when we check the cue sheets for the next day, please also check the scheduler!) -Made the playlist for It's a Wonderful Life and scheduled it in TH3 so it's all ready to be teched tomorrow morning. -Deleted all old playlists and trailer packs - All playlists are running a bit long this week, I posted the overages on the whiteboard in 4/6. When scheduling, be mindful and double check the scheduled end time with the cue sheets. Make the appropriate change (either scheduling early or changing the cue sheet) as needed. It's not always necessary. For example, if the difference is 1 minute and it's not a tight turn. Trailer Updates: -Pulled a flat version of "A Quiet Place" from trailmix so that ...

Presentation Issues: For the last round in theater 6, which was a manual start, I accidentally chose the 12/20 Jumanji playlist rather than 12/12. This was a good thing, because at one point during the trailers the screen just went black & I discovered in the All Ages 122019 Scope trailer pack there was a cue (actually 2 cues) for the dowser to close for a lens change, and then rather than a dowser open cue, it was another close dowser cue. Quick fix, & is now fixed in that trailer pack. -During the second round in theater 5, there was a manual start for Ford v. Ferrari,  but I accidentally started Frozen 2 instead. Didn't get noticed until the feature started, and then it took me a few minutes to load the correct movie. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the Bombshell playlist w/ the 122019 preshow. - Scheduled Friday 12/20. - Updated the Adult & All Ages SCOPE trailer pack (122019) with Scope Portal Feature and Scope STFU slide. - Added STB_Jan to Queen & Sli...

Presentation Issues: - There were no presentation issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: -Built 2 Star Wars playlists since you can't schedule the extra 20 minutes if there is a different movie ahead of it (and sometimes there isn't enough time in between 2 SW screenings). So, when scheduling next week, pay attention to the times and use A1_StarWarsEXTRATIME_12/19/19 when needed. Remember to start the whole preshow earlier and keep the ticketed start time the same. -Scheduled out Thursday and the staff screenings. Trailer Updates: -Built all new trailer packs for 121919. Note that Star Wars has it's own trailer pack. Special Events/ AV set up: -Trivia went well. All gear is stowed back in 4/6.

Presentation Issues: -The cues for switching back to a flat lens after the scope trailers before the last two pre show elements were firing very strangely in TH6, with the screen going black and then completely white before the end of the clip so I made the necessary adjustments to the trailer pack after the second round (I misunderstood the server who made the call in the first round and thought they were not used to seeing the blackout during the lens change and so I didn't investigate until it happened again in the second round). Preshow Clips/Playlist: - I made changes to the lens changes in our temporary Scope trailer packs because the amount of time needed for cues to fire properly is apparently different from theater to theater, there is now 8 secs of black before and after Scope trailers to account for this. Trailer Updates: -New cat video trailer came in, I ingested it and put it on screen. It is exactly the same as the one we've got playing already. Special...

Presentation Issues: There were no issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: -Put the finishing touches on the Wendy/Gigi playlist for the Rachel Music private event adding our generic logo and custom lens file and deciding which cues need to be manual.

Presentation Issues: No issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built a new Jumanji playlist for the weekend including the Quiet Place 2 teaser. -Grabbed Slide_NPP_Logo_Update_030619 from EVO and ingested it to TMS. Trailer Updates: Pulled two  Star Wars  trailers from TrailMix. One of these is the scope version of the one we've been playing (TLR-3-Alt, 2.5 minutes), the other is an alternate version of the 4th trailer (only one minute). I put the scope version of TLR_3_Alt in our scope trailer packs and removed the buffer that made up for the shorter trailer. I left the shorter version in the Jumanji trailer pack for this weekend only since we have an extra trailer in those shows. Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordered 1917 posters. -We also got another  Little Women trailer with the Quiet Place teaser, it's only a minute long so I think we should stick with the one we have.

Presentation Issues: -There were no presentation issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: - Made new trailer packs to be shown with our Scope features. They are duplicates of the various trailer packs I have made for the week (adult 121319, all ages 121319, all ages 121919, hawks with babies) The word SCOPE is in front. The difference is the trailers are in Scope and there are sandwiching black slugs calling for lens changes before and after the trailers within the pack. They have already been swapped out in the corresponding playlists. Note, I did not yet make the adult121919 pack, waiting on the HN_portal to come through. I did pull a scope version of the 1917 trailer though. -Made the playlist for Rachel Music Trailer Updates: -Pulled scope versions of all our trailers to run for our features that are in scope (for which we are setting masking for at the beginning of pre shows) - Thumb drives with "A Quiet Place 2" and " Little Women" came in. As a happy coin...

Presentation Issues: There were no issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: -I pulled from EVO: Star Wars pre shows (40/20/10), DecB and JanA cards, CatVidFest, KidsinControl, Let the Right One In. The only thing we are missing still are the Hawk's Nest transitionals (Portal Welcome and Feature). I was advised that they will be uploaded sometime in the next few days. We are also still waiting on the Bombshell pre shows. - I built all A1_121319 playlists and scheduled them through the weekend. All the playlists are now running on-time. None of them are running long. - I built the Star Wars playlist without the feature and with "Road Warrior" still in the lights down while we wait for "Portal" (the 121919 trailer pack needs the HN swapped out when "Portal" gets uploaded) - For now, all Scope features will have the masking go to scope at the beginning of the pre show until we have our masking motors fixed. The start of show pack is called ScopeFeatureTEMP...

Presentation Issues: None. Preshow Clips/Playlist: 1) Looking at the playlists for 12/13, they will all run a bit long. I will post the full list in booth 4/6 but all features are running 2 or 3 minutes TOO LONG. This means when we drop them into the scheduler, we need to schedule them to start earlier. DO NOT change the cue sheets, just schedule the playlists either 2 or 3 minutes early depending on the length of the playlist. 2) I will relay this to Mascha and the FOH managers. We are going to automate it as much as we can and minimize manual starts. If you do need to do a manual start this week coming up, please keep the math in mind. 3) Matthew wants for us to start each playlist with the masking that is required for the feature so that there is no masking change happening while guests are in the theater until we get the squeaky motors fixed. Unfortunately, this unravels our new uniform playlist packs for lens/masking changes. I do not want to overwrite these, as a lot of th...

Presentation Issues: There were no presentation issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: -Our playlist format has changed significantly. The pre-show lights are 50% brighter and therefore should be good enough to clean by (eliminating calls for cleaning lights back on after pre-shows start). There are 4 lighting cues in the credits now, going from mid to up to full generally within 2 minutes of credits starting, and a lights cleaning attached to the end of the feature clip. There are new packs to be used for end of show and any lens/masking change.

Presentation Issues: -There were no presentation issues. (Although I had a show that was auto scheduled 2 minutes after the previous show ended and it didn't start so I had to do it manually. I thought we were good to automate with at least two minutes in between playlists, something to keep an eye on.) Preshow Clips/Playlist: -Made a new Knives Out playlist and scheduled it for Hawks with babies on Tuesday. Trailer Updates: --New trailmix came in. I pulled the latest Bombshell trailer from it since we will be needing it next week. Special Events/ AV set up: -Spoons, Toons, & Booze lost sound for a few minutes during one of their trivia spots. I got the call while I was double checking the mic set up in TH7, as I was walking back into the theater 1, I re-executed the CP750 Digital 1 command thinking maybe Michael accidentally changed the audio input when trying to control the lights, at the same time he had unplugged and re-seated the hdmi cord from his laptop. We g...

Presentation Issues: -There were no issues but we did receive a volume complaint from TH4.  It was during the trailers but I went in and listened to the feature for a bit: Jojo Rabbit. I thought it sounded fine. However, I came to see Jojo Rabbit in TH7 over the weekend and I thought it was too quiet. What I heard in TH4 sounded better to me today. And they are similar-sized theaters, they should be comparable. Is there any way for us to individually set a baseline for each house? Something playing at vol 5 in TH7 should definitely match up in TH3, and for the most part in TH4 and 6 (and ideally we could scale TH1 and 2 to be the same). -I was able to catch most of a Star Wars trailer in TH6 just before I left for the day. I do not find it to be too loud. It is exciting, if that makes sense. I welcome another projectionist's opinion on this. Ever since we started playing the Star Wars playlist (which has been off and on for months), I have been aware of 2 individual complaints,...

Presentation Issues: There were no presentation issues Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: *In light of the customer review forwarded to us by Matthew, I took the time to listen to the trailers in all of the theaters (as well as the features) ahead of opening. I did not find the volume to be too loud in any theaters. However, I was *mortified* to find that we are playing the Star Wars trailer from April in the adult pack and from August in the All Ages pack. I pulled the latest Star Wars trailer from the latest trail mix (from October, the November file only came to us in Scope) and subbed this out in both trailer packs. It is a dramatically different trailer and we should be playing the latest trailers (especially for highly anticipated movies like Star Wars). Whenever we get trail mixes, please check file dates for any movies trailers that we are holding over into the next week. There is also a newer file for Uncut Gems with a date of 11/19, I also put this on TMS, if s...
