To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Beyoncé is following swiftly (pun intended) behind Taylor in giving us another very long and loudly mixed concert film...the servers in T2 noted that the film sounded too low to start with (it was originally set to 5.0 in the SPL), so after testing the volume at 7.0 and 6.5 (levels both far too loud once the bass really starts thumping following Queen B's introductory remarks), I brought it down to 6.0 which, admittedly, is still quite loud, but not loud enough to be as punishing or distracting in adjacent theaters as The Eras Tour  seemed to be to many of our guests...this volume setting may need to change if and when we move the film into other (smaller) auditoriums but, for now, it is playing comfortably to the near sold out crowd here tonight Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Titanic screening in theater 1 this evening went very smoothly; Ariel had his DJ set this evening down at Trees Lou

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey projection - I know the following is lengthy, but please take the time to read.       Had some last minute troubleshooting with the Beyonce  feature as it came with supplementary packages (we get these sometimes depending on the feature) and I'll explain this as best I can since it's actually rather confusing, especially if you've never dealt with this before. The feature we received (which were/are the only available CPLs on Eclair and have the date 20231124 in them) are essentially "base" versions and you need to ingest and keep them on the server, then upload the supplementary packages (VF "version file" content in the email with the keys! this is VERY easy to miss, especially since it's so rare we have to do this. I've attached an image below of the packages in the KDM email, which are below the keys. You will download and ingest these just as you do with KDMs. Extra confusing seeing as how they're n

To do this evening/ was completed:  Presentation Issues: T6 appears to be offline on the TMS (the overview tab is not displaying playback progress) despite the fact that content has been playing all night without any issue Final round in T4 did not begin as scheduled and was delayed by some ten minutes Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled an SPL for Renaissance for the week of 12/1 Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Chenelle requested a third mic be added to the front for the  Going to Mars private screening in theater 4; the intro went as planned and the screening + Q&A went smoothly Raising Cain screening in theater 1 was a success Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):  Maestro  one sheets were delivered and stored behind 3/7  Ordering/Receiving (content): Downloaded and ingested a "keep the aisles clear" slide Kat made for the Renaissance SPL Downloaded and uploaded keys for Renaissance ,  Maestro , Killers of the Flower Moon , Priscilla , and Na

To do this evening/ was completed: Renaissance can get added to the marquee One of the coming soons outside ( Wonka or American Fiction ) should get replaced with Maestro , too. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Made a DCP of the holding slide for tonight's private event, added it to the playlist before and after the feature. Checked the feature as well quickly, it's all good. Raising Cain playlist was also missing the intro slide so I added it and the necessary cues. Scheduled Renaissance staff screenings, sent out the email and put them on the calendar. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Set up mics in T4 for the private event tonight. Levels set, you just need to turn the mixer on. Checked the new setup for Spoons, which essentially runs their laptop audio through an HDMI audio extractor in the booth so we can run the wireless mics to the Yamaha mixer in the theater. So we no longer need a separate cord for their laptop sound, it'll all go through

To do this evening/ was completed: Another reminder about the NPP account passwords spreadsheet . Please update this when passwords get changed, not just on the notes app on the iMac. Furthermore, if you update a password and add it to the Notes app, delete the old, obsolete password . There were three different passwords for the Deluxe portal listed on there. Also don't add random unrelated notes to it, start a new note if you need to write something down. I deleted all the old passwords and random notes. - Alec Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: I started downloading the Popstar Vehicle preshow clips for the Renaissance playlist, which finished downloading and loading onto DCPII Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Taste of Things event in Theater 4 went great!

To do this evening/ was completed: Locally ingested The Trouble With Angels and Fantastic Planet to their respective servers. Fantastic keys uploaded. Mandy content removed from TMS. Downloaded and ingested Maestro feature and preshow content, Christmas_AllAges_V2 content ingested as well. Built T6-specific playlists and scheduled the week in TMS, cue sheets started. Ran a reel of Raising Cain for Cristina, volume noted. Ran loops afterward, framing and focus set for tonight. Cleaned the projectors afterward. Re-inspected reel three of Seconds just to make sure all tears were tended to, as there are many. All good. Set up two mics for the private Taste of Things event. One of those mics came from T1 equipment bin so just keep that in mind when breaking down. Double checked tonight's SE playlists. Still no DCP for Renaissance, the Beyonce concert film. When looking at our order on Deluxe, Delivery is listed as "physical" with a deadline listed for last night. Can't fin

I've downloaded and ingested them. Playlist has been updated and the slides have been tech'd. Went through the playlist to make some slight adjustments with Desmond. Tech'd the  NoBudge  shorts today. Might redo the DCP for Isaac and bring up the volume so we're not blasting through the speakers. Gotta make some masking adjustments for Aphasia & Tenderless .  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Event memo for the private event The Taste of Things has been updated. Got the slide(s).

To do this evening/ was completed: Took a look at The Taste of Things. Sounds good at 5.0, credit offset noted. Desmond's Chicken Run  intro went smoothly, mic returned to T1 booth. Inspected the rest of the new Lethal Weapon print (reels 2-6). It's in very good condition--not a single splice. Guest complained that Trolls sounded too loud at 6.3. I think the mix is a little uneven, with the dialogue too quiet and the songs too loud. I updated the playlists to 6.0 volume.

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey y'all. I made a note a few days ago about keeping Anatomy of a Fall on the server and it got deleted from the TMS per Matthew's request in the schedule thread. Please double check before getting rid of content. Thank you!  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Keys for Mandy and Taste of Things  can get tech'd tomorrow morning if there's time. No worries if not as I can do that Monday morning.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Key and content came in for Girlfriends . Didn't think this was one of ours - checked the calendars and lo and behold, it is a WB event! Emailed John, Joe and Alec to make sure content is at WB.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Spent almost the entire evening tackling the beast that is Titanic and its 10 reels. Print is in great condition despite some consistent base scratches, particularly

To do this evening/ was completed: Went to check Shadow of a Doubt this morning and couldn't get into Splashtop on my phone (the laptop was dead from not being plugged in, please plug the charger in when you're not using it), because the password was changed. Ended up resetting it again, updated the passwords doc  (under the "TECH" tab), but it's N1t3h@wk188. If you reset this please add the new password to that doc and note in your blog it's been changed. Feature was too quiet at 5.0, I changed it to 6.0. Mono DCPs usually always need to be played louder than our other features. 1.33 lens channel is fine. Chicken Run needed a bump, too. Raised it to 6.5 in tomorrow's playlist. When making inspection reports on the drive don't just put them in the 2023 folder, put them in the folder for the month the film is screening in. I made the folders for 2024.

To do this evening/ was completed: Seconds and Titanic prints arrived today, brought both down to T1. Inspected Seconds. It's in mostly decent condition, reel five has a lot of splices but they're all clean enough. Oddly reels two, five and six use footage from a trailer for Argo as their leaders, with one frame marked with an X to mark where to thread to. I wasn't able to run these through the frame counter after the initial inspection so that'll have to be investigated. Reel three features a ton of small tears, all mended previously/repaired now. T2 and 6 did not automate their last rounds even though there was plenty of time between shows in each. Took a look at Shadow of a Doubt in T2. Could only do so quickly and not with the lights fully down as the servers were cleaning in between rounds. Feature sounds good at 5.0 but I would double check 1.33 masking. I recall a minor keystone in the past during NoBudge events with 1.33 aspect but I would double check before th

Note in playlist), Lethal Weapon When building the NoBudge playlist, I noticed that the DCP I had going in T1 a few days ago hadn't been ingested. We've got some time before this and I ingested it today, but just be sure to double check the blogs.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Event Memo for The Taste of Things is not up yet, playlist not built yet.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):  Ordering/Receiving (content): Got the keys for Mandy this morning!

To do this evening/ was completed: A great 35 presentation of Buffalo '66 dominated the evening for a nice night.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist:  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Buffalo '66 went perfectly. Transitions, framing, and focus was on point. There were some slight focus adjustments on a couple reels, but they were dealt with quickly. It is fully reinspected and back on its shipping reels packed up, and ready to go.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Keys for The Holdovers and  Dream Scenario uploaded Outgoing/Shipping (content): Buffalo '66 already came with a return label which is attached to the top of the box.  Print/video Inspection: Did a post-inspection of Buffalo '66 .  Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cleaned the Theater 1 projectors post- Buffalo '66 .  Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Cross reference with tomorrow's automation and set

To do this evening/ was completed: Built T6 playlists and scheduled the coming week in the TMS. Cue sheets for next week have been completed. Downloaded all NoBudge shorts from Drive. The first eight have been DCP'd and ingested, #9 is in DCPoMatic right now. Double-checked SE playlists for tonight, updated Buffalo '66 slightly (preshow volumes). Ran loops in T1 for Buffalo, framing and focus set, but always double-check focus. The loops don't always make for a sharp image right out of the gate. Cleaned the projectors afterward. Gave 4/6 a sweep and mop. Took In The Heat of the Night CRU drive to UPS dropoff.

To do this evening/ was completed: Downloaded/ingested HowToOrderGodzilla, attached to Trolls playlists. Downloaded/ingested Home Alone 2, Reign of Fire and  Jingle All The Way trailers. Built playlists for Shadow of a Doubt, Chicken Run (with intro and without), Mandy, Titanic, Seconds, Raising Cain. Looks like we still need a slide for Raising Cain, reached out to Cristina. A question about the sequence for the Seconds/Raising Cain playlists: the Fall Welcome and Fall Feature come one after the other and then the policy element plays. Do we think it would be a smoother presentation if the policy came before the Fall Feature? Inspected the last two reels of Hudsucker Proxy. They're on house reels. For T1, we'll have enough house reels for Titanic after Buffalo '66 runs on Tuesday. All set on content for the next seven days. Don't have tracking for Seconds 35mm yet. Tyrone/Streetcar content removed from servers. Concluded brunch letters taken down, Chicken Run and Shado

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey everyone. If there's something on Kat's trailer list that we don't have or looks different in an A1 playlist, please be sure to reach out with any questions so that all necessary adjustments can be made for the shows to be correct. In this case, it was the PG preshow/trailer pack info for Trolls that was not accurate with her list. I adjusted the trailer pack, downloaded and ingested the old PSA_Policy_Horror. Waiting on the How To Order (Godzilla). Emailed projection at WB/Kat. We'll get this sorted.  One more reminder: Please remember to make sure you're putting your print reports in the subsection, 2023, in the Inspection Reports folder. Thank you!

To do this evening/ was completed: Made a lot of updates to the AOR document, made updates to every shift so please look it over. It's printed out and hanging on the whiteboard above the desk in 4/6. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Not sure if the adjustments to Streetcar and Tyrone playlists were saved yesterday but the volumes were the same as what I put in when I built them last weekend, and the levels were a little too loud for both features. Lowered Streetcar to 5.2 and Tyrone to 5.0. Playlists updated. Also added a cue to set the masking back to 1.85 after Streetcar , before the DCP Show End pack. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): I emailed IMoxie customer service to check on the one sheet orders I placed yesterday as they seem to have disappeared from our online account.

Outgoing marquee letters taken down. 11/10 playlists and forecasts deleted, Chicken Run V2 and Christmas Action trailers downloaded and ingested, 11/24 A1 playlists and packs built.

Notified Paul about this, too. So glad to hear the event for Mr. Kneff went well last night! The hosts are super happy. I handed off the drive to a representative today.  Tech'd the following for image/sound/volume and credits info this morning: Big Night Face Off Evangelion  Divinity   I have built playlists for reach feature listed above. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Downloaded and ingested the correct Anime preshow for Evangelion .  In the Heat of the Night KDM opens 11/13, so we can get eyes on it then to make sure everything in the playlist is ready to go.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Folks came in this morning to take engagement photos in T1. Adjusted lights for them. Nothing else needed!  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

To do this evening/ was completed: Face/Off and Bad Lieutenant DCPS ingested to T1. Marvels feature + playlist tech'd, volume good at 5.0. Set up laptop connection for Trees servers meeting. Ran through Mr. Kneff DCP with Steven, Claire and John W. Steven asked that we play the feature at 7.0 after hearing it at 5.5. Quick tech, he's happy with it. I bumped the volume on the playlist and also added a few transitional cues. The DCP has a 2.28:1 aspect ratio which gives us a little pillarboxing. I adjusted the 235 FILM masking preset to frame the image exactly. This adjustment was only a matter of about four inches. Tested wireless mics, they're beneath the screen. To my eye it looks like the lens files for flat and scope skew very slightly to the left of the screen. The right-side curtain also does not come down exactly straight, it slightly curves to the right at the bottom of the screen. I'm sure this is negligible as you can't see any issue with masking when you&#

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Made the Priscilla babies playlist for next Tuesday. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Set up the mics in Trees for karaoke. Juan drilled a larger hole into the T1 port window frame this morning to feed the cables for the new webcam through. This is all set--it’s connected to the computer and the wireless mic mixer is connected directly--for tomorrow night's Q&A. Also talked to him about mounting the spotlights in T3 & T4. Should be pretty simple, the next step is just installing an outlet to plug them in. Arranging getting the electrician in with Matthew for this. Set up the audio from the HDMI extractor in T1 for Spoons. The XLR cable to connect to the mic input on the CP750 is hanging on the wall by the rack in the booth. Audio should be all set once the laptop is connected to the extender (AJA) and that XLR is connected to the processor. We no longer need to use the wall panels fo
