To do this evening/ was completed: Took down American Astronaut letters. Handled Q&A in T3.  Presentation Issues: Some slight hiccups for private show in T3.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled the Benedetta playlist. Scheduled all first run playlists for Friday 12/3 through Wednesday 12/8. Trailer Updates: Swapped the Benedetta trailer for Nightmare Alley in appropriate playlists to schedule starting 12/3. Special Events/ AV set up: American Astronaut 35mm screening with director Q&A in Theater 1. Jack and I noticed during the screening that the image from projector #2 has a bit of side to side jitter. I played with the gate pressure throughout which seemed to help a bit but didn’t completely resolve the issue. I asked DMS if they have any suggestions, I imagine this is something I’ll be able to fix on my own with some instructions. This was not an apparent issue when I tech checked the print earlier in the day. Otherwise, the screening and Q&A went well, the Q&A was recorded also. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): I wrote to IMoxie to check on my req...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Emailed Kris King about the errors in the NPP Forecast. He says he can update it on Monday.

To do this evening/ was completed:  Presentation Issues: While trying to check  The White Goddess in theater 3 this morning, I noticed that the server was offline despite the TMS displaying the content on the scheduling window. The projector itself was on but, for whatever reason, was not communicating with the server. I could not load any content to test so I tried shutting off the projector from the touch panel to see if powering down might establish the connection again. This did not work so I restarted the IMS, then hard rebooted the projector, all to no avail. I tried remarrying the projector and server through the touch panel but these were already linked and the connection was running fine according to the systems diagnostics. As a last resort, I ended up calling DMS and spoke to a representative named Chris; he and I were on the phone for about two hours using TeamViewer to troubleshoot the issue together. He ran several diagnostics checks, tried restarting the IMS rem...

To do this evening/ was completed: Tech screened  Once Upon a Time in China II with Cristina in theater 2; picture quality looks great but the volume needed to be turned up louder than usual  Presentation Issues: AC Interlock alarm in theater 1 again; theater 6 server paused itself at the start of the second show Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built a show playlist for Once Upon a Time in China II (this may need to be adjusted before the screening as I was unsure whether or not adding the newer NPP Forecast trailer was appropriate since the majority of the programming listed is Christmas themed) Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Received WB Christmas Combo  and TrailMix Week 11/24 DCPs Outgoing/Shipping (content): Never Talk to Strangers print was picked up by a courier this afternoon Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets updated/checked (...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Audio issue with the Tenet screening in Theater 1 which led to the screening being interrupted and most of the 6th reel going unshown, see below. Preshow Clips/Playlist: I noticed during the first show that C'mon C'mon is 1.66, so I added the lens/masking change for that ratio to the playlist. Built and scheduled the Love Actually playlist. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Tenet 35mm screening in Theater 1. when I changed over to reel 6 of the film, I got a call from the servers in the theater that only the music on the soundtrack was playing, no dialogue. I thought it was just a glitch with the changeover as I heard the dialogue fine through the booth monitor, but when I checked in the theater I could barely hear anything, even music. I tried switching to the SR soundtrack, checked the connections to/from the film audio processor, restarted everything, switched between projectors, but nothing worked. I was ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Letters put up for Cmon Cmon and House of Gucci. Snipes updated as well. No Time to Die letters taken down. Keys uploaded for French Dispatch and Eternals.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Not an issue but just a few details to take note of moving into our upcoming screenings; there is a slight keystone on the sides of the frame for C'mon C'mon in theater 2 due to the film's flatter aspect ratio and voiceover that plays during the credits (there is also an "in memory of" intertitle before the crawl that turns the screen blue, just in case any MODs ask this is intentional) Light change recommendation alarms in theaters 1, 2, 6, 7 are still active; no issue with the AC interlock alarm in theater 1 Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Checked the  C'mon C'mon playlist for picture/sound quality and credit offset times; these were added to the cue sheets for the week Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets...

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested House of Gucci keys. Ingested Once Upon a Time in China II to Theater 2's server. The ingest was still running as I left so the drive is still plugged into the projector. Reached out to Eclair about C'mon C'mon keys but still haven't heard back. I'll keep an eye on my email tomorrow and follow up if they don't send them out. We need them tomorrow so we can tech the feature. Converted Bridget Jones's Diary to DCP for Williamsburg. Left it uploading to my Google Drive overnight.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: AC Interlock alarm in theater 1 and light change recommendation alarms in theaters 1, 2, 6, 7; light flickering in theater 7 on the right hand side of the auditorium (as credits rolled the light brightened, turned off momentarily, then flickered once more before maintaining its brightness) Lens file macro issue at the start of the second round of shows in theater 2; Gerard noticed the preshow content was improperly framed in some spots and it continued through the trailers and first few minutes of the feature ( The French Dispatch ). Had to switch the macro from flat to scope and back to flat in order to keep the image from being pillar-boxed and letterboxed Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Once Upon a Time in China screening went smoothly; the extra poster was given away by the guest speaker Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): P...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Ingested the new NPP forecast and added it to next week’s playlists. Downloaded preshow content and transitionals from Dropbox. Of these, I ingested a bunch of tip PSAs which are good for padding out the preshow to 30 minutes as they range in length from 15 - 45 seconds. Just make sure to watch them first to be sure they’re appropriate. The ones I’ve seen which are good are Warhol, Frankenstein, and FrodoSam. Trailer Updates: Ingested the Rom-Coms of Christmas trailer and added it to all first run playlists. Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):  Ordering/Receiving (content): Got a file of Serendipity from Desmond which I’ve started converting to a DCP.

To do this evening/ was completed: Transfer the Once Upon a Time in China DCPs to the DCPII drive when they finish downloading, ingest the first film to the Theater 2 IMS server. Transfer the Soul Food DCP to the iMac desktop when the OUATIC download finishes and upload it to my Google Drive. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Still haven't had a chance to download preshows and transitionals from Dropbox as the hard drive was in use for the Once Upon a Time in China download, and attempting to do anything with other files on the drive slows the download almost to a halt. Trailer Updates: Added trailers to the Barb and Star and Another Round playlists. Please be sure to include trailers when building playlists, you can use other playlists as a guide for what to include and adjust based on what you think is appropriate until we get trailer assignments. These shows had 9 minutes of trailers listed on the cue sheets, but the playlists that were scheduled had the feature s...

Alec updated playlist to accommodate. Removed TVON content from TMS after screening concluded.

To do this evening/ was completed: When the Vast of Night DCP finishes downloading (ETA around 5:30pm), transfer it to the DCPII drive and plug that into the Theater 4 projector and ingest the DCP directly to the IMS server. Once the ingest is complete switch the features in the playlist and save it. If you update the playlist before preshow starts at 9:20 and have a chance to look at the DCP, delete the DCP I made from the server. The House of Gucci drive should be delivered by UPS tonight by 9pm. Please ingest it to the TMS, then add the feature to the playlist and schedule it. (To avoid possibly slowing down the ingest to Theater 4, wait until The Vast of Night finishes ingesting to ingest House of Gucci . I don’t really think it would make much of a difference since they’re loading to completely different servers but I’d rather not risk it.) The Foxy Brown print is in 3/7 with a UPS return label attached, if you catch UPS please hand this off to them. A Sony courier should be c...

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received a new Trail Mix drive, as well as a new Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer on a thumb drive.

Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Scheduled a pick up for The Ring and Fear prints with FedEx for tomorrow. Also printed the UPS label for the Foxy Brown print.

Ingest the content for the event in Theater 4 on Thursday night when it's done converting to the DCPII drive.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Converted and ingested the updated Foxy Brown preshow and added it to the playlist. Built and scheduled the Wolfwalkers playlist. Desmond was around today but I didn't have a chance to tech this because of the band's sound check. Trailer Updates: Removed the Foxy Brown trailer from the Adult trailer pack and added Nightmare Alley . Built alternate Adult and Teen playlists with Another Round and The Vast of Night trailers and added them to the features Desmond requested. Special Events/ AV set up: Morricone Youth came to the theater at noon for a soundcheck, this went well and the set up was left under the curtain during the first round. During preshow for the Foxy Brown screening a few more members of the band arrived so we did another soundcheck.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested keys for Planes, Trains, and Automobiles with no problems. It looks like we got sent Williamsburg keys along with our own which is why they wouldn't ingest. I reached out to Deluxe and they should have updated their system so we only get Prospect keys.

It seems a few of the playlist packs we use at the beginnings and ends of our show playlists disappeared off the Theater 6 server last night. I deleted and re-ingested the Eternals SPL and this reloaded the packs, after which point I skipped through two first run show playlists and everything was normal. I wrote to DMS about this and a similar thing which happened in Theater 4 several months ago, I sent them the interrogator logs for both projectors and I'm waiting to hear back. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I reconnected Plex in Trees Lounge and left the Apple TV remote out so the bartenders can play with it and pick what they want to have on.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: AC Interlock warning in T1. Channel 2 Lights in T7 have returned. They stayed on for trailers and beginning of feature during Round 1. Brought volume up to 6.0 for Last Night in Soho in T5, still sounding a bit subdued to me.

To do this evening/ was completed: Put up Foxy Brown letters on 15th St side. Removed Velvet Underground content from TMS. Replaced VU poster with Encanto .  Presentation Issues: AC Interlock issue in T1 again. Restarted projector, all good.  T6 preshow started with both dowser and lamp off. Not sure why the cues didn't switch them over. Second round in T6 also had dowser fail to open at beginning of playlist. Playlist volume also stayed at 5.0 for preshow even though there's a cue to set it at 3.5. When clicking on T6 icon in TMS, it only shows me what playlist is playing, but does not display the elements of the playlist on the right side of the page. All other server pages are functioning normally on TMS, in terms of display. Additionally, when round 2 concluded the house lights remained off. Same occurrence for Round 3. Dowser, sound and theater lighting all unresponsive to playlist, house lights remained off when playlist concluded. Also had to restart TMS due to a Data M...

To do this evening/ was completed: Keep downloading the VHS Vault stuff. Marquee and poster changes— Eternals and Spencer can go up on the front and Last Duel and Harder They Fall can come down. Same for their posters. Swap Dogtown for Foxy Brown on the 15th street side. Delete The Harder They Fall after the last show tonight, ingest Eternals to Theater 6 from the TMS. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Removed the 10/22 forecast from all playlists since we haven’t got a new one for two weeks and this one is pretty much completely outdated at this point. Built and scheduled the Ammonite playlist. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Dogtown & Z-Boys screening in Theater 1 went smoothly. Jack projected the print pretty much on his own (I did the first changeover so he could look at the cues but that’s about it) and he did a great job! I think he’s ready to project 35 on his own now. We also recorded the Q&A, we got the camera all set up during the ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Took down Muppet letters, put up Da 5 Bloods. Removed Last Night in Soho poster from display and swapped it for Dogtown for tomorrow evening's screening. Removed Muppet content from TMS. Continued to download All Ages content to VHS drive. Continued filling out TMS schedule and cue sheet for upcoming week. T6 storage getting pretty full.  Presentation Issues: Last Night in Soho in T3   sounded a bit quiet at 5.5 to my ear during the opening scenes. Brought volume up to 6.0, though not on the playlist.  Got a call from T5 at beginning of 9:50 No Time To Die. Went into theater and the trailer for Eternals was freezing, stopping and starting. Sound was cutting out too. Was going to restart IMS but things seemed to even out when the feature started. I sat in the theater for the first 25 minutes and the feature was playing smoothly. Kept an eye on it until I left.  Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Hi-Re...

To do this evening/ was completed: Please schedule Wednesday and Thursday and finish the cue sheets. Keep downloading the VHS Vault files. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Scheduled Friday 11/5 - Tuesday 11/9. Shows for Sunday 11/7 are scheduled an hour late because of how the TMS adjusts the schedule for daylight savings. The shows should be scheduled for the correct times come Sunday morning. Built the playlist for the Dogtown & Z-Boys event tomorrow night. Used a generic preshow and the Nitehawk logo for the intro and Q&A, will swap it out if John sends me something else.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Checked the Spoons setup with Desmond. It's all good and I'll go over the changes with Jack tomorrow night, we should have some time after the event wraps up. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): John brought over a poster for the Dogtown event tomorrow night, Jack hung it up this evening. Ordering/Receiving (content): Checked on the...

To do this evening/ was completed: Please continue downloading VHS Vault content from Google Drive. Presentation Issues: The A/C interlock warning in Theater 1 has become a daily occurrence, luckily turning the projector off and turning it back on again resolves the issue. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Started downloading the VHS Vault content to our hard drive. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I set up the mixer in Theater 1 for Spoons on Thursday. I also left two mics down there (I brought one back up to 4/6 for trivia tomorrow). I've decided to use the PA speakers we have on the wall on the theater for Spoons, the same ones we used for Live Sound Cinema. This will shorten the setup time significantly as we no longer have to pull out the speakers from under the curtain and set them up on their stands. The wall speakers are connected to the mixer and I set the mic levels. FYI, I have one mic mixed all the way to the left speaker, one mixed all the way to the right, and one mi...
