Foxfire 35mm screening with Q&A in Theater 1, scope lenses and plates are in place in both projectors. Playlist is ready with both slides, I have it set to pause over a black clip with the dowser on the digital projector closed and lamp off while the film plays, so just strike the lamp towards the end of the film and press play on the server when it ends, also set up the camcorder to record the Q&A.

To do this evening/ was completed: Removed Sweetback and The Dark Crystal from T1 and T2 servers. Turntable setup in Trees Lounge was left to Jesse at the end of the night. I checked in a few times towards midnight and eventually asked Jesse around 12:05 if he could break things down. He said it was no problem for him to break down the turntable and return it to 3/7. I told him the XLR cables are ours as well and to leave them with the equipment in 3/7. Presentation Issues: Few slight notes about the 35mm screening in T1: During the lead up to reel 6, I forgot to close the lens turret. As I hit the changeover, the screen went black. I recognized my mistake immediately and got picture back on screen. Black screen for about 2-3 seconds. During the credits of the film, I could see text beneath the bottom of the screen--wasn't prominent in any sense but it was there. This was coming from Projector 1.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Checked reel 1 of Trees Lounge  for volume levels -- lots of headroom in frame that needs to be adjusted for as the film runs -- sound is clean; also setup the DJ turntable for the screening afterparty at HiRes with Jack this afternoon Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Received new TrailMix DCP and a blu-ray copy of You're Watching Video Music Box.  Tracking information for the Near Dark print has not updated since last night (I'm wondering if this is a technical error on FedEx's end?) Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Reached out to Matthew about an overlap in the Oscars shorts playlists; seems to be a discrepancy in the runtime of each that is affecting the flip time between shows (I have up...

To do this evening/ was completed: Jerry from DMS was on site this morning to replace the changeover board in projector one (theater four) Update: Jerry was unable to mount the board to the inside of the projector and will return Thursday morning to finish the work he started -- he asked that we do not power on the projectors between now and then -- he will coordinate with Alec about who is working Thursday to meet him The schedule was sent out later than usual today so I began filling out the cue sheets for the upcoming week this evening; I will continue to work on this tomorrow afternoon Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Ingested the rest of the Oscars Shorts preshow content and built playlists for both live action and animated shows for the upcoming week; will have to tech each of these playlists for credit offset information unless it becomes available through the Deluxe portal Ingested the newest forecast content for this week (2/25) and added it to all first run playli...

To do this evening/ was completed: Finished reorganizing the VHS Vault folders, while there was no porno in the All Ages folder (I think someone must have mistakenly played the After Hours content during an early round), there was some in the After Hours folder, which had been moved to an “X Rated” folder. As previously mentioned, there was a lot of stuff in the All Ages folder which shouldn’t have been, it’s all in After Hours now. I added the X Rated folder to the Plex and rescanned the content for all folders so all my reorganizing is reflected on the app. I also pinned all three folders to the sidebar on Plex for easy access, previously only the After Hours folder was pinned. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Preshow in next week’s R rated first run playlists were a bit too long so I removed the Stub PSA. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The HBO event in Theater 2 went smoothly. I did discover that the inputs for the extra two wired mics were mislabeled on the...

I spoke to the servers ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Continued sorting VHS vault, will finish tomorrow during my closing shift. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled playlists for How to Train Your Dragon and Trees Lounge preshow. Ingested Oscar Shorts preshow and some new NPP trailers. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Lost Boys 35mm screening went well. There was a minor blip at the first changeover, when I hit the switch to turn on the motor it didn’t come on. I had accidentally hit a switch on the front of the projector (labeled “platter”) when sweeping the booth before the screening and hadn’t noticed, apparently this controls the motor. I quickly turned the switch on and started the second reel, there was about 5 seconds of leader on screen due to this. The reason I figured it out so quickly was because I hit a different switch while sweeping (labeled “proj”) which caused the light inside the projector body to go off, so I noticed this one right away but...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: No major issues. I experienced a few very minor growing pains operating the Century 35mm projectors for the first time, but nothing more than one framing issue with the plate at the beginning that was easily fixed and one or two kind of sloppy changeovers.  Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I helped out a bit with running the Awards Ceremony event and breaking it down. The "Shattered" screening was an overall success. John and Cristina's intros went great. By the last two changeovers I had found my rhythm and factored in the difference in motor speed between the Century projectors and Simplex projectors that I'm used to. Century kicks in a bit faster. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: I'll be sure to rewind all of the "Shattered" print back onto its plastic reels tomorrow. ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Shattered screening with intro in Theater 1, I went over everything with Jim so this should go smoothly. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The private event in Theater 2 went fairly well. I had everything set up following what Chenelle relayed to me but as people arrived it seemed there were conflicting ideas about what they actually wanted. The set up proved to be quite involved as they decided they wanted to have a singer onstage at the last minute then went back on this request when they saw the setup the singer needed. They also seemed to expect to be able to speak on the mic with the music still playing, which is possible with extra setup but from what I understood from the setup instructions I got from Chenelle I would be playing the music as people walked up to the stage, then fading it out and switching it to the mic for them to talk. Once things were cleared up and I got into the groove ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Downloaded and ingested the new Forecast and the Vampires and Crime preshows. Remade the Uncharted playlist, the one that was built did not have the assigned preshow in it and had this weeks trailer pack (with the Uncharted trailer!).

To do this evening/ was completed: Super Bowl in Theater 1 and Trees Lounge, everything is all set up. Should go very smoothly. I pulled up a live stream on the projection laptop in case we decide to have audio in Trees Lounge. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Magnificent Warriors screening in Theater 1 today went great!

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Made and ingested the Moonstruck slide, updated the playlist and cue sheets. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Earth Girls screening in Theater 1 went quite well. The jitter on projector #2 is resolved, though I did notice the image appears to wobble very faintly, mostly at the sides. It’s not showstopping, and though it’s possible this is a remnant of the jitter issue it seems to be separate. I replaced the studio guide that DMS removed from the trap and will come in early to test it tomorrow and see if this helps. Double checked the cable connection in Trees Lounge and Theater 1, both are good to go for the Super Bowl tomorrow. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Finished inspecting  Shattered , the print is in pretty terrific shape. For some reason reels 2 and 4 had more vertical base scratches...

To do this evening/ was completed: Jerry from DMS worked out the jitter on the projector in Theater 1. He adjusted a bearing on the front of the turret, this affected the evenness of the focus so getting it to a good spot in both respects took some doing. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the Moonstruck playlist, though we got an on-screen slide for this at the end of the day so I’ll have to update it. Built the preshow playlist for Shattered . Trailer Updates: Downloaded Nitehawk Diaries and Kids screening trailers from Google Drive and ingested them to TMS.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Added the updated book promo to all of next week’s playlists. Built and scheduled a playlist for the School Daze preshow ahead of the screening. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The School Daze screening went well! Missed the first changeover cue from reel 3 to reel 4 while repairing a tear in the first reel’s head leader I noticed while threading and temporarily held together with paper tape. There was only a few seconds of leader/black on screen before I got the next reel on. Other than that, there were no issues with the screening, the myriad damage/repairs on the print we received all went through the projector fine. Brought the mic and mini mixer back to 4/6 before the School Daze preshow as Desmond confirmed he wouldn’t be using it. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Cleared a few features off servers which were in the...

To do this evening/ was completed: Removed The Man Who Fell to Earth from theater 1 IMS; tech screened NSF22 shorts with Desmond, Cristina, Kat, and John in theater 1 -- two of the short films had some very noticeable picture issues (the image looked like it had been stretched vertically despite the aspect ratios being correct) Tech screened the first two reels of  School Daze for Desmond in theater 6; the tails of each one sustained some damage at old splice marks that had to be repaired with new tape -- these got caught up in the gears and ripped from the tension (a note was made in the film inspection report for this print) NewFest people were on site this afternoon with Chenelle to look over the different spotlight settings in theater 2; they took photos of each setting and said they would touch base with us when they decided which setting they preferred for their intros/Q&As -- they mentioned potentially wanting to keep the house lights up in addition to having spots on, b...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: There was a 10 minute delay during the Starman screening this afternoon; almost exactly in the middle of reel 5 (of 6) the take up reel on projector #2 fell off its arm, fell to the ground, and film began spooling out onto the ground from the bottom of the projector. I immediately stopped the film and brought the house lights up, alerted MOD that I would need five minutes to address the issue, and made a splice in the reel in order to properly secure and re-thread the remaining film onto a new take-up reel. I thought I had secured the take-up reel but evidently it was spinning without the pin in a fully locked (pointing upward) position and spun off, locking the pin behind it when it took the weight of the film to the ground. Aside from this incident I had no other issues during the screening. A note was made in the print inspection report about the splice halfway through the reel and any potential dust mark or scratches on the ba...

To do this evening/ was completed: Starman screening in T1 went smoothly. Presentation Issues: A few notes about the Starman print: There is a black bar that appears on the right side of the screen from top to bottom during certain shots. It doesn't happen too much but just know nothing is wrong when you see it.  The print is also a bit warped. I didn't really notice it until reel 6, which definitely presents a warped image on the right third of the screen. T2 Round 3 did not start automatically. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: When I got in this morning, the iPad we use for house music was dead. It was connected to the charger near it but I could not get it to charge.

To do this evening/ was completed: Removed Flee from TMS. Presentation Issues: Not an issue really but caught the last minutes of Jackass Forever and as the credits rolled with content still on screen, the house lights mid cue kicked in. It's a fair amount of content, so I'm wondering if the theater should remain dark until the real crawl.
