To do this evening/ was completed: Reinspected Zodiac, have yet to schedule a pickup. Downloaded Troy (SimpleDCP) and transferred to DCP drive. Downloaded River Fork (part of Experiments on Existence program). The dropbox file featured no video content in DCPoMatic, just audio, however the VLC file played properly. Began downloading the ProRes file provided. Downloaded and ingested some upcoming preshow content, Forecast B, Lyle Lyle and Amsterdam  5min preshows. The rest of the content is still uploading to Drive. Presentation Issues: During round one in T4 and T6 MOD notified me that each film was still playing even though their respective start credits times had begun. Each film was behind by five minutes. Initially I thought this was due to the servers not starting the automated schedule but a bit later MOD contacted me again to say that the same issue was occurring in T2 and that this had happened during round one in T1 as well. I checked on T1 to see when the current round wa...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received Call Jane posters. Ordering/Receiving (content): New Moon DCP came, ingested it to Th2. I made a second spreadsheet to help us keep track of NewFest content and shared the spreadsheet with all the download links for shorts with all Prospect projectionists. Use the spreadsheet “NewFest x NPP DCP Tracking” to see what still needs to be downloaded/converted (some shorts will be received already as DCPs, all features should be delivered as DCP via a download link, except The Birdcage, which is coming from Deluxe), and update the “Nitehawk - NewFest34 Print Traffic and Tech Info” (which is the one with all the download links) as you download files so they know we’re making progress. Outgoing/Shipping (content): Cleared Blonde from all servers. Print/video Inspection: Ran the first reel of In the Mouth of Madness ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Yes  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Off the Charts event in Theater 3 faced a slight hiccup in the timing for pausing the slide, which resulted in the mic feed for the intro cutting off. However, the intro went fine from there and the transition from intro to feature went smooth.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): I downloaded some of the NewFest shorts onto the DCP Drive/Projection PC and updated the spreadsheet accordingly.  I tried making a DCP out of The Language, but would love for someone to take a look at it to make sure I did the conversion right. It was an .mov file with subs hardcoded on it.  I tried opening the zips for Ezra, Starfuckers, Warsha, and Salman Toors but all were unable to expand. After multiple attempts, it always said it was unable to expand the zip files. There was one more .mov, Jelly Bean, that I lef...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the Ham on Rye playlist. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I checked the trivia setup again, the Mic 1 input works but goes to the speaker across the bar from where the trivia hosts set up, so it’s hard to hear with the bar full and music playing, it’s also just better to have their voices coming from the speaker directly behind them. I also checked the levels, the gain for both inputs was a bit high, so I turned it down and set the levels from there with a video playing on the laptop, and speaking into the microphone. I’ve written this all down for next time. Lillian set up the mic for the intro in Th3 tonight, and she and McKegg went down for the intro. Apparently, the cue to pause the slide didn’t work, despite being in the right place, and the mic turned off during the intro and Cristina finished her intro without it. Lillian will look into this tomorrow. Ordering/Receiving (posters ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Yes  Presentation Issues: When setting up Trivia, the first mic input wasn't working. After some troubleshooting with Alec, I tried switching over to the second mic input and that worked. Alec is going to take a look at it all tomorrow morning.  Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The private screening of My Best Friend's Exorcism went great. Alec walked me through mic set up and break down when the host didn't need a mic. Transition from the intro into the feature went smooth.  Once the sound hiccup with was sorted out, Trivia went nicely as well.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Ham On Rye finished downloading, so I put it on the drive and tried to upload it to the Theater 3 server. It wasn't recognizing the DCP, so something may have happened in the download. But I left the DCP drive on the iMac station.   Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/v...

To do this evening/ was completed: Check that the video component of the Ham on Rye DCP downloaded fully (should be 85.2 GB) and copy it to the DCPII hard drive in the Ham on Rye DCP folder, and ingest to Theater 3. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built Willy Wonka , Death Becomes Her , and No Budge playlists. For NoBudge, we will leave the masking and lens file at 1.85 for the duration of the program. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Amazon event in Th4 went well. I set up two mics before opening and had stands ready for them. I showed McKegg this setup, and explained that this is how mics are setup for intros/Q&As in the smaller theaters. When we were pulling the mics out before the preshow the hosts decided they only wanted one mic, then ultimately decided they would do the intro without any mics, so we broke down everything and brought the mixer, mics, and cables back to 4/6 and the mic stands to Th1, so McKegg got to see both the setup and the bre...

To do this evening/ was completed: Took a look at Moonage Daydream in T2. Switched over to the 1.78 lens file and adjusted masking. This is the proper presentation for the film--playlists have been updated. Made playlists for Off The Charts and In The Mouth of Madness preshow. Converted and ingested the Best Friend's Exorcism slide--playlist updated. Added Triangle of Sadness to 9/30 R-rated trailer pack. Scheduled all first runs in TMS for the coming week aside from Amsterdam, started updating the cue sheet.   Removed Thirst and other concluded special events playlists from TMS. Ingested Beetlejuice trailer. Presentation Issues: Teched Before the Devil Knows You're Dead in T3 and noticed a crackling and buzzing coming from the left rear surround speaker. Checked it again with Alec and ultimately it's pretty minor at the moment, but could likely worsen as time goes on, so a replacement will have to be ordered at some point. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special E...

To do this evening/ was completed: Downloaded and ingested new KDMs for  Barbarian ,  See How They Run , and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Presentation Issues: Regarding the issue I noticed with the presentation of  Moonage Daydream  in theater 2 the other night, the "1.85:1" contained segments of the film are all slightly pillarboxed (the most recent archival footage in it looks like it's actually 1.78:1 and not 1.85:1, while the rest of the footage used is a mix of much flatter/square aspect ratios from music videos and television programs) and the keystoning effect in this room caused it to look like it was favoring one side of the screen over the other; I checked on the film as it was playing in theater 1 this afternoon and noticed the pillarboxing again, though, there was an even amount of it on both sides of the screen which led me to believe the angle of the projector in 2 is creating this distortion Update:  I took a look at  Moonage Daydrea...

To do this evening/ was completed: Jack and I went through the entirety of the No Budge Shorts, checked volume, masking, credits, synch and so forth. We found that Radical Honesty 's DCP was actually a DCP of Super N word, but we downloaded the actual file and made a DCP of Radical Honesty . Received and made a DCP of the No Budge slide and ingested it. Jack will be sending along the information we collected today for the shorts so that they can be ushered into a proper playlist (just so that folks know, one of the shorts, It's All Related , is both 1.33 and 1.85, so we're gonna keep it at 1.85.) Checked volume and got credits for My Bestfriend's Exorcism . Cue sheet updated. Checked volume/image for Thirst . Cristina is at NYFF. Ingested Bros and the trailer for Ham On Rye and updated the pack for PG13 films. We setup the blu-ray player in the Trees Lounge. All good to go, Will should only need to fire it up when the time comes. Chenelle will send over the slide for...

To do this evening/ was completed: Downloaded and ingested KDMs for  Thirst Presentation Issues: I heard a crackling sound coming from the left center speaker during the 5:45PM screening of Barbarian in theater 3 and ran a house check once it ended; the speakers in the room sounded fine so I wonder if it wasn't the loudness of the mix that caused the noise The 9:00PM screening of Moonage Daydream did not start as scheduled in theater 2; I started this round manually and skipped ahead two minutes into the show playlist to compensate for the delay I also noticed the FLAT masking in theater 2 (specifically during the Moonage Daydream feature) was slightly pillarboxed on the right hand side while the left hand side of the image was more flush with the curtains and the edge of the screen itself; initially I chalked this up to the angle of the projector creating a spacing effect on the edge of the frame but I looked at it again during the last round and tried to adjust the lens file afte...

To do this evening/ was completed:All shows ran smoothly. Checked in on each theatre periodically. Reached out to Deluxe for a new KDM for The Rugrats movie, ingested the keys shortly after. (It's always good to just email Deluxe at DDCHelp@bydeluxe.com with 'urgent' in all caps in the title when we're down to the line looking or keys. They usually respond in less than twenty minutes!) Kat's trailers and preshow content still needed to fully expand. Went over a few masking details with Alec earlier in the day before the intros in T3 and T4. Checked in on Blonde quite a few times as I've noticed the ratio changes from 1.78 to 1.37. My guess is that this changes throughout the film during what look like flashback scenes, although they are long periods of time when it's 1.37 and the masking is set at 1.78. This might be too tricky (and could be distracting) to have multiple masking cues in. Alec and I took the BluRay player out of the rack in T1 for the staff s...

To do this evening/ was completed: Ingested generic Halloween preshow content and 9/30 forecast content, built 9/30 playlists with some elements missing. The R-rated 9/30 trailer pack is missing a Triangle of Sadness trailer, and the PG-13 pack is missing a trailer for Ham on Rye.  I don't see a TrailMix drive in the booth and I could not successfully scan Eclair Play, even after restarting TMS, so might have to reach out to Deluxe for Triangle. Began ingesting  Willy Wonka to T1. Breaker 25 had been turned off by accident, I turned it back on, giving me power from the outlet near the Christie. Not sure if the ingest is going to finish before the automated shutdown. Ingested Death Becomes Her to T2. Re-inspected The Last Seduction, it's wound tails out. Reel 5 is about 99% perfectly wound but it might be worth looking at. Set up wired mics and mixer in T4 for Desmond's intro. Presentation Issues: Brought Don't Worry up to 6.0 in T1 during the last two rounds. Preshow Cl...

To do this evening/ was completed: Ran the first reel of Zodiac T1 with Desmond. Looks pretty great! Ran just fine. From what I can see residue isn't a huge issue on screen despite being more prominent on the print itself. Volume should be between 6.0 and 6.5 depending on how big the crowd is. T1 projectors have been cleaned. Went over sound adjustments for New Welcome, Policy, and Feature Presentation--decided that 3.5 for preshow content sounds great in smaller theatres and should be at 4.0 in larger theatres, apart from the new Welcome policy, which should be 4.0 in smaller theatres and in T1&T2 should be at 4.5 ( I had a listen and I think they're fine where they're at, but would like to go over this with Alec tomorrow (to change it in the playlists, too). Checked In A Lonely Place with Cristina--no volume adjustments. Good as is in its playlist--will need to check credits and add to cue sheet. Rugrats sounds great in its playlist, too.   Ingested My Bestfriend...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled the Thirst  playlist. Replaced the Horror policy with the V2 version in all playlists, also added the 5.1 Fall Welcome and Feature snipes to all special event playlists. Downloaded and ingested the V3 Don't Worry Darling 15min preshow clip and added it to the playlist. I made a cue specifically to set the volume for the Welcome and Feature clips and the Policy. I sent it to all servers and we can edit it on the individual IMS so we can have them play at different volumes in each theater with the same cue, so we won’t have to make separate trailer packs and playlists for each theater. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Last Seduction screening went very well. Cleaned projectors before and after the screening. The print came tails out so it’s been left tails out in booth 1 to be reinspected. Wireless mics are charging in booth 1. Jack noticed today that the Rugrats keys...

To do this evening/ was completed: Teched new feature playlists, Moonage Daydream and Don't Worry Darling in T2, Blonde in T4. All features look and sound great. I noticed there was Moonage preshow attached to the Don't Worry playlist so I swapped it out for the right content. Moonage has a very slight pillarboxing/bend throughout the duration (slight black bars on the top half of the sides of the frame)--I don't think it's necessary to adjust masking for the feature, but just making note of it here. Ingested keys for In A Lonely Place. Downloaded and ingested updated Fall Welcome/Feature elements, playlists updated. Removed various features/playlists from TMS: Hot Fuzz, Stardust, Emily the Criminal, Nope, Bodies Bodies Bodies and Top Gun: Maverick. Also removed preshow content for Beast, Super Pets, The Bad Guys. Locally ingested Thirst to T1. Presentation Issues: I thought I heard a slight crackling coming from the left side surround speaker when I was playing the Tic...

I saw keys for Don't Worry had already been put in the KDM folder but didn't see them ingested in the decryption keys tab.   Re-inspected Mars Attacks  and scheduled a pickup for tomorrow. Inspected reels three and four of Zodiac-- reels are in great condition, though they do have that slight coat of oily residue. Shouldn't be a problem on screen.

She also had some really good maintenance tips such as replacing the pads for the tension plates on the feed and take-up spindles on the projectors and the feed spindle on th...

To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled the first three days of shows for 9/23 in TMS, updated the cue sheet accordingly. Left the rest for Lillian's training shift tomorrow. Attempted to ingest  Ham On Rye to T3 but when I scanned local storage on that IMS I couldn't locate the file. Scanning local storage in 4/6 I found the feature easily. Maybe restarting the IMS would've solved it but a feature was running, so I let it be. Built a playlist for Rugrats Movie-- it might need a little tweaking. Presentation Issues: Bumped Body Double volume up to 6.0.  RM approached me to say that the preshow in T7 is still blaringly loud, and that the credits during Bullet Train seemed abnormally loud as well. I know we looked into this already, but logging it here again.

To do this evening/ was completed: Finished building show playlists for  Stardust  and  Hot Fuzz  and scheduled both titles later in the week (cue sheets were updated accordingly) Presentation Issues: A power surge(?) of some kind occurred during the second round of shows causing the lights in the 4/6 booth to flicker for about ten seconds. The house lights in theater 5 then went to full brightness mid-show because of this and the automated cues stopped working so I had to reset the dimmer control panel from the crawlspace booth to bring them down manually. This ordeal lasted for about two minutes before the lights were brought back down, after which the fire department arrived to check the basement(?) by theater 5 for something I assume was related to whatever was triggered by the surge Preshow Clips/Playlist:  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Prin...

Screened some preshow clips for Kat, all will need adjustments except the Blonde one, so I cleared all the others from the server and hard drive and ingested the Blonde clip to the TMS. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Kevin came by the theater to test the setup for his show tonight. All went well, I set things up pretty much the same as with Spoons, just without the spotlight board on the stage and only 2 mics. Levels for the mics are set, and there are two stands with the smaller mic holders attached. Kevin’s laptop has USB-C only, so there’s an adapter for the HDMI connection under the curtain. He preferred the 1.78 HDMI macro, so I added that cue to the playlist. I connected his laptop to the mic input on the sound processor which is what we did for Spoons after they had issues playing their laptop sound with the HDMI. Seemed...

To do this evening/ was completed: Cleaned T1 35mm projectors before and after High Risk. Trailer reel has been re-inspected. I could not get the rewind to be totally smooth. I attempted four times to no avail. I think the reel will be fine in transit inside its can but just making note of it here. Presentation Issues: Each changeover aside from reel two was out of frame. Adjusting framing took only a few seconds each time. Every reel was threaded with the countdown number centered in the frame plate. If it's something I missed during inspection I'd like to know. Maybe using the frame counter for each countdown would've helped identify the issue. Also, reel five went back out of frame half way through its run, then once more during the credits.

Please remove this extra leader and the footage markers after the screening. Inspected The Last Seduction . Overall it’s in very good condition, just some very light scratches, both base and emulsion, some of which are visible. Th...

To do this evening/ was completed: Ingested  See How They Run  feature content from EclairPlay and transferred it to all servers except theater 4 (the TMS would not allow me to start this transfer for some reason and was unable to even after the system was rebooted) and removed The Invitation from the TMS and its corresponding servers; downloaded and ingested all available pre-show content from the shared drive Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built show playlists and updated trailer packs for all first run titles excluding  The Woman King (whose feature content we have yet to receive); See How They Run show playlist has a generic pre-show element in it that will need to be swapped out for the "PS_FR_SeeHowTheyRun" file once it is uploaded Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content):  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Tested all new first run playlists in the...

To do this evening/ was completed: Finished inspecting Bebe's Kids. It's in good condition overall with some moderate base scratching. Inspected High Risk and attached trailer reel. I did not add cue marks to the end of the trailer reel as I figured I'll just close the heat shield and mute the processor during the screening but I can add cues if that seems preferable. High Risk is in decent condition with moderate to significant base scratching and moderate emulsion scratching. Some of the reels have a good amount of splices and sprocket repairs (10-12). None of the reels seem to have cues so I added grease cues. Reel two is missing a countdown leader. Reel five has somewhat significant "shaving" damage to the sides of the film. Not sure if this could result in a tear. Stills for both prints have been uploaded to Drive and Conrad has been notified. Not sure if posting a still from High Risk would give away the surprise element of the screening--stills from the tra...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Checked the Starship Troopers playlist since it was missing cues, I mistakenly put the 1.85 Lens/Masking Change at the beginning instead of the 1.85 Preshow pack.
