To do this evening/ was completed: Inspected the first four reels of Batman and Robin. They're in good condition, back on shipping reels for now. Gave a guest a captiview device for The Shrouds but turns out the DCP does not come with any accessibility features, meaning no HI/VI.

To do this evening/ was completed: All sides of the marquee have been updated. Superhuman private screening went smoothly this morning. - A Cues in T3 are functioning normally for now. Showed Jack how to manually adjust the lights on the relay board. If cues stop working again, first try to restart the IMS webpage. - A Alice Jr. DCP files via Dropbox did not download fully, a frequent issue with Dropbox, where it says the download is complete but the file size is in fact incorrect. We're re-downloading the zip file for this DCP, a successful download should be about 94.5 GB. If the download completes and the file size is lower than that then we'll have to figure out another way, or just keep trying until it's successful. Tech'd The Devil is a Woman, The Accountant 2, Until Dawn, and The Rules of the Game. It looks like the P2 1.37 plate will need to be filed slightly as I was catching just a bit of it at the top of the image in T1 when looking at Rules. New forecasts do...

To do this evening/ was completed: Had a super fun time in theater 3 today...take a look at Alec's notes. We've both notified Chris/Gregg to get someone in here tomorrow morning to fix the issue.  Friendly reminder that there is a school screening for the Superhuman Body tomorrow morning, right at 10am (film starts around 10:30). Playlist is scheduled but the letters (in 3/7) will need to go up. This will be our last show with those folks! - Lillian  Carefully cleared a lot of content from servers 1, 2, 3 and 4 to prep for our incoming shows and to make transfers a little easier as it was a bit of a struggle before. - Lillian Presentation Issues: We had to move the first round of Sinners from T3 to T1 (and cancel Sacramento ) because the lighting and masking cues in T3 completely stopped working. The masking is easy to get around, you just use the motor under the curtain, but the lighting dimmer requires automation cues to activate the different settings, so we were stuck on ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Marie Antoinette event went smoothly. All equipment broken down after the show. Pride keys came in, uploaded. T3 shutdown playlist did not strike the lamp off.

Tech'd all of the Marie Antoinette content, spots, slides, dance number DCPs and the feature. Volume cues have been added to the playlist. We made a DCP for the curtain call song Primadonna with the breakdown slide attached. Instead of playing the song off of a laptop and then transitioning to breakdown slide in the playlist, we're just going to have the dowser closed during the curtain call bow and once that's concluded I'll open the dowser to display the slide while the song continues to play. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: FYI - There's no OCAP shows for The Shrouds as there's ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Dolce Vita show was good.

Additionally, photographs have been uploaded to the drive for both the aforementioned print as well as Dance, Girl, Dance . Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Just a friendly reminder to make our SE slides about 20 seconds long.

It's 20 seconds long (reaches maximum brightness at 8 (maybe between 8 - 10) seconds in, so I like to put the server pause cue there. Fade ins/outs are added in at 5 seconds on each end.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: The round of Minecraft  preceding the shorts program left the servers with a pretty substantial mess to clean up after, so the MODs asked that I delay the pre-show to the latter by fifteen minutes, which in turn caused us to have to push back the scheduled showtime for the final round in this auditorium after the NSF filmmaker Q&A ended. Thankfully there were very few tickets sold to Black Bag  and the show played normally, albeit with a fifteen minute delay, after it was started manually. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: NSF Closing Nite shorts program went smoothly (despite the aforementioned delay to the pre-show) and the Q&A was recorded and saved to the rack desktop in booth 1 + mics from the Q&A were returned to the booth to charge Set up a mic at Trees for the awards announcements and helped John prepare the turntables for Ariel's afterparty DJ set (returned all gear t...
