To do this evening/ was completed: Another solo show from ol' Kegg here with loads to do in preparation for the coming week.  Presentation Issues: No issues Preshow Clips/Playlist:  ZEISM ,  Heaven and Earth Magic & Sounder, Together ,  Boxing Raw and Uncut , and  Jetsons  playlists need to be built.  Trailer Updates: No issues Special Events/ AV set up: Swapped out the lenses in Theater 4 to 1.37 for Man in Possession Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): No issues Ordering/Receiving (content): Desmond sent us the file for The Jetsons Movie . I started a DCP conversion onto George Ivan.  We also got the Heaven and Earth DCP from John and the mov file for the short in front of it. I downloaded the short (SONDER_CREDITS) onto the desktop.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): I packed up Tango & Cash , it still needs labels Print/video Inspection: Cristina came by to look at two full reels of Man in Possession , which are loo...

To do this evening/ was completed: McKegg and I were on tonight to tag team the three events we had going on here tonight. Overall, everything went well, but I definitely have a few notes. See below.  Once I finished the print I took over for McKegg in T1.  We were both able to kick off NoBudge/Vanisher  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist:  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Tango and Cash went very well in T4 and I had a lot of fun projecting it. Tough print to focus, but it looked great! Full house for that one.  NoBudge was moving perfectly until the dowser got caught during a lens change for one of the shorts towards the end of the program - during the lens/masking change to 1.66 for Right to Remain Silent. Desmond radioed and I saw on the christie touch panel that the icon for dowser open was, in fact, on, but once I saw that it wasn't physically open, I hit "close" then "open" again and it worked. Quickly rewound to the beginning. The wh...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: I think the upload of the Mar2025 ABC preshow (for the Punks playlist) to the Share folder got interrupted, because Screenwriter is saying it's corrupted. I just downloaded it from Google Drive and added it to the playlist. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ran loops for Tango & Ca$h tonight. Ingested the content and holding slide for the private event in T1 tonight, built and scheduled the playlist, and checked through it in the theater. I decided it made the most sense to run the whole playlist in 1.78 so I used that show start pack. 5.0 is plenty loud for the feature. Slide in place for intro and Q&A. Checked playlist for NoBudge. All good, noticed some minor aspect ratio things which I fixed ( Fever was letterboxed in 1.78, I made a new projector channel so it fits in the 1.85 masking, and Melonheads is 1.33, the masking preset had been changed for Phoenician Scheme and I put i...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Both brunch shows went well. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: I looked at the test clip for the private event on Monday in T1. Looks and sounds fine, shouldn't be any issues provided we get their final file with enough time to convert. One thing to note: this is in an odd aspect ratio, because of course it is. Looks like 1.5 or thereabouts, at least the test clip we've been sent is entirely in this ratio. Hopefully we'll get the file with enough time to check if this is the ratio for the whole thing and adjust masking if needed.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): I shared a Google Drive folder with the team for the private event on Monday, so they can upload their final version here instead of Dropbox. They asked me to password protect the folder, an impossibility, before they upload to it. I told them I couldn't and that it's only accessible to Nitehawk and the people in their group I shared it with, so hopefully they go with it and don't try to force a Dropbox link on us. Also, Chenelle confirmed this will be a ProRes (even though she asked them to provide a DCP since they're getting it to us so late), so we're going to have to convert it. Outgoing/Shipping (content): Deleted old playlists and content. Print/video Inspection: Inspected The Man in Possession . It's mostly good, though there is a small issue which shouldn...

To do this evening/ was completed: Got a little more info regarding upcoming private events.  7/31. Should be DCPs coming in (2 short films) but Chenelle will let us know soon if there's conversion needed.  New Menu change tomorrow! Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Tech'd and adjusted volume for both Smurfs and Eddington today.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Playlist for Coming to America has been double checked!! For the lights tonight, it will be stage right spots (201), then (203) for light blue wash for the Q&A but make sure you turn off the spots breaker beforehand (the setting is for spots/wash).  Sabbath Queen all set in T3.

To do this evening/ was completed: Heads up I am copying the Pavements DCP to the Williamsburg share folder from the P&T drive. It should be done by midday tomorrow. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Inspected the Punks print. It's in quite nice shape with a bit of minor wear. Should run very well. Inspected Creepshow as well. This is a bit more beat up but not much. Pretty consistent light base scratches throughout which will likely be visible during brighter scenes (especially toward the end). Great color, though, and little physical damage. I'm sure it will look very good. It's tails out on the shipping reels for now. Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): There were a few issues on the cue sheet for tomorrow. Neither event...

To do this evening/ was completed: There is a FOH meeting tomorrow, so I've scheduled staff screenings for Friday and Monday, steering clear of T1 for any maintenance.  Weekly update is out and it is imperative that you read the introduction. Thank you! Note: Punks can get inspected this evening. We have a tech this Friday.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Adjusted the F1 playlists.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: School screening went well today! Started earlier than 10:30, which was great.  Cristina put me in touch with the host for the shorts program on the 12th of August. I looped in Alec since I'll be gone in August, despite being able to help with prep. Deadline for content delivery will be the 29th of July. In touch with the NewFest folks for accessibility features we can accommodate.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Received and ingested the director's cut of Touch of Evil .

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Noticed theater 1 did not have a shutdown this evening until I realized there was a show playlist for F1 scheduled to start at 3:55AM...I removed this and the shutdown was rescheduled Updated and scheduled the Nickel Boys  show playlist for tomorrow Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Death Becomes Her pre-film Q&A and screening went well (the Q&A was recorded to the booth desktop in theater 2) +  Beverly Hills Cop played without any issues in theater 3 this evening Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Coming to America keys were delivered via Deluxe Outgoing/Shipping (content): Removed Death Becomes Her and Beverly Hills Cop feature content from the LMS and their respective servers Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Double checked all cues/schedules for to...

To do this evening/ was completed: Just a little note on KDMs - for films received through Deluxe, you don't need to upload keys, they will upload automatically to the LMS. I still like to double check, just to be sure, but they should be fine on their own.  Took a seat out in T1 row 5, right on the end. Chair is off to the side of MOD station area with drill up on the shelf, screws upstairs on the desk in 4/6.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Death Becomes Her is all set for tonight. I did have to adjust the cue sheets quite a bit. Not sure what happened, it was mostly correct, but the end time for the Q&A plus credits info were all off. I adjusted volume. Slide looks good. House lights will come down during the trailer, right before the slide (I confirmed with Desmond). For center spots, use 103 = scene 1, bank 3 Beverly Hills Cop playlist tech'd.  Took a look at Sabbath Queen in T3, which looks and sounds great.  Playlists for the school screen...

To do this evening/ was completed: I found a spare screw and got 1622 in place securely for now, it's still missing one of the rear screws as the anchor for that one came out of the floor. Carly added this to the maintenance list for Juan. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Brooklyn Knight finished transcoding through DCP-o-matic and successfully ingested to the LMS. Outgoing/Shipping (content): Printed labels for Angel Terminators . Put this and Desperately Seeking Susan on the cart, pickup is scheduled for tomorrow. Print/video Inspection: Inspected Tango & Cash . I'm sure this will look great and it's in decent shape physically. Not much damage but a hint of vinegar and has a slight warp to it. Also some splotches throughout reel 1 which I don't think will be noticeable on screen. Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/clean...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: First round pre-show started in theater 2 but the cleaning lights remained on...Wyatt radioed and I brought them down manually Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ran loops in theater 1 before the first round  Framing throughout Angel Terminators II was touch and go...the first reel, however expected, was still slightly off center, despite my centering the frame when I ran loops/threaded the countdown, and each subsequent reel never seemed to line up quite right with the plate so I made the necessary adjustments on the fly...all this aside things went smoothly and the crowd seemed pleased with the film Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Uploaded keys for Beverly Hills Cop and Death Becomes Her  (keys for the latter do not open until 8AM tomorrow) Outgoing/Shipping (content): Removed Pavements from the LMS/theater 3 Print/video Inspection: Tech'd Bever...

To do this evening/ was completed: I updated this in the manual, but please don't put blu-ray rips, or video files in general, through HandBrake unless we need to burn in subtitles. If the video needs to be resized, you can do that in DCP-o-matic and a better looking DCP will result, since the video has not been compressed by HandBrake. Instructions for resizing in DCP-o-matic are here . I set up the booth 5 PC to be remote controlled with Splashtop to see if that will be more reliable than 3/7 and 6 have been lately. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: I couldn't tell if the updated bumper for Death Becomes Her had ever been ingested, in the playlist was something called "Broadway Trailer" which was made in May. I converted the new bumper to DCP (again, maybe), ingested it, and added it to the playlist. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Desperately Seeking Susan went well. Print is packed up. Cleaned the projectors. Ordering/Receiving (posters ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: A guest complained that the masking wasn't opened all the way for Superman in theater 1 during its final round...I checked on this and saw a sliver of image reflected on the left side curtain (these were open to 1.85:1 and the edge of the screen/picture was visible) which had become bunched up from opening up and stuck ever so slightly on the edge of the screen Had a couple sightings of "things on the screen" by MODs/guests this evening...these were bugs...not much to be done about this with doors opening and closing around the building but something to be aware of during shifts Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built all remaining PG-13 and R rated show playlists for the week of 7/18 (and reached out to Kat about potentially re-uploading the "Western_5min" preshow file as there was some difficulty getting it ingested to the LMS -- currently using a generic 5min file to fill time in the playlist) Built show playlists...

To do this evening/ was completed: Bit tricky with a solo shift in regards to timing today, but managed to make it work.  In response to the Splashtop issue last night - I restarted the PC in T6, checked to make sure Splashtop settings were correct on there, then logged in and out of splashtop on 4/6 and it popped up. Working just fine. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: NOTE - It has been a super busy week (particularly for Alec and I) and we need to keep the ball rolling on playlist building or scheduling, and flag when we are waiting on content. Pavements was ingested to the LMS but not T3, so I ingested it. We need to get eyes on this in between rounds, so I've instructed Will to do an credits/sound check. Playlist is built and scheduled for the weekend, as are the playlists for SOF and Desperately Seeking Susan .  NOTE: KDM for Beverly Hills Cop  goes live on Sunday   Built a bunch of SE playlists we have left for 7/11 and clarified the Coming to Ame...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Increased the feature volume level for Superman  in its playlists ever so slightly (from 5.0 to 5.3) since it sounded a bit low with the bigger crowds watching it this evening Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Splashtop took the night off in 3/7 and failed to connect to the projection laptop no matter how many times I relaunched the app. Theater 6's rack PC was in such a state of deep sleep it began shutting down as soon as the screen finally turned on. Rebooted it and never got around to logging in to try connecting to Splashtop from there since it was taking forever to load. Ended up being pressed for time between bringing Nell an extension cord and resolving the sudden technical issue so I relinquished the 4/6 desktop to Michael via the laptop (this was the only thing Splashtop would connect to) so he could manage light/volume levels in theater 1 and get things underway. The show was delaye...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: This was not major and has been fully resolved now, but the masking in T1 was at scope (presumably from Super 8 last night) all day today, it was a busy day so neither of us noticed/thought anything of it, only the masking did not go back to flat on cue for the start of the Superman playlist. I noticed when I went to check on the feature the curtains were at scope, and Superman is 1.85. Firing the cue again expectedly did not work so I brought the curtains in using the buttons on the motor. After the show finished I took a closer look and found, as I'd guessed, the wire to automate the #2 button (which activates the 1.85 preset) had snapped and was disconnected from the motor. Easy fix, I stripped/reconnected it. All set now. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Tech'd Sorry, Baby and Superman . Had to adjust the new Superman playlists a bit. Friendly reminder that Cat Vid Fest trailer is NOT 4.0. It is 3.5. This is listed on the w...

To do this evening/ was completed: In response to Will's blog last night, it looks like the playlists I made for Superman  7/04 (for 7/10 release date) were deleted and the 7/11 ones were copied over from F1, given everything that was in those incorrect Superman playlists from last night. there were updates earlier in the day, so please be be very careful if you are copying over to kill some time with not having to redo the trailers and such (if that was the intention). This is also why we double check the playlists. I still believe the template system might be too much for us here, but for right now, please be sure to double check your work. I am a tad concerned that Tuesday admin work has become slightly passive.  Also as per Will's blog, I checked out the faulty reel (reel one) of Nickel Boys which seemed to have multiple key pieces rolling around the core. I contacted Brad from Film Tech (in charge of this) and offered to tease them out but wanted to double check that thi...

To do this evening/ was completed: Hank's Saloon went smoothly. Broke down the mixer afterward. Inspected the first two reels of the SoF print Angel Terminators II AKA The Best of Lady Kickboxers. It's in good condition, on house reels. Super 8 went very smoothly. Reels heads out right now. Mic returned to the booth. Eddington feature ingested to LMS.  Presentation Issues: MOD walkie'd to tell me there was a bit of a black dot in the center of T3 screen, possibly an insect. Went to check it out and didn't see anything there. But later I was in T1 before the print and saw a lightning bug flying around, then after the show I went to retrieve the mic and there were two bugs on the screen in T1.  *Three manual starts in T7 tomorrow night. Last round is on the scheduler even though the previous round will overlap it. Just leaving it there for now so that you see it's on the server.* Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (p...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: During the middle of the second round in theater 1 the lights override switch was tripped and the cleaning lights turned on. Fortunately, I was in the booth looking at a print as this happened and unplugged/plugged the light control panel back in, which brought the lights down, until they were tripped again a few moments later and went back to the cleaning/override setting. I unplugged it a second time and left it that way for the rest of the round (update: I plugged the panel back in at the start of the credits and manually brought the lights up, rebooted the server between shows and tested some content...everything seems back to normal for the time being) Preshow Clips/Playlist: Updated all Superman show playlists since each one had been built with the "Generic_Cars" pre-show in it, the Best of the Best II trailer, and a SCOPE lens/masking change (a format this movie is not in) that needed to be removed and replaced + ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled the coming week with some SE exceptions. Put Susan on house reels, playlist built. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Playlists built for  Sorry, Baby.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up:  Buena Vista  went smoothly, mics back in the booth.   Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): We received a flash drive with a DCP of Witchboard in a USPS envelope in 4/6 Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Noticed Sorry Baby is scope 2.20 (with no flat container version included), so I checked this screen file and masking in every house. I had to undo the Phoenician Scheme masking in most, but this is exclusively in Theater 5 for what is likely to be the remainder of its run so there won't be any problem with that feature. I made a Scope 2.20 lens/masking change pack and added it to the Sorry Baby playlists. -A Looked at  Super 8  and  Susan...

To do this evening/ was completed: Leon Chase for Hank's Saloon came by to tech his film today. He's super happy with the outcome of his DCP and is really, really excited about the screening.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Buena Vista Social Club is just about sorted for this evening -the hosts did not respond to our request for a good quality video of the Tony Awards performance that we could download, so I found it on YouTube and let them know. I made a DCP, which will likely sound good between 3.5 - 4.5, but we'll have 15min to tech it before we open doors for the show!  Superman playlists built - I swapped out the atmos file that was first ingested and got the regular 7.1 in there! Hanks Saloon playlist built Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Received posters for Lurker and Pavements and placed them behind 3/7 Ordering/Receiving (content): Downloaded and ingested the Superman pre-show Sorry, Baby i...

To do this evening/ was completed: Late this evening (and I mean truly, truly late) MOD/Kitchen discovered that the basement had flooded, likely due to some machine/plumbing issue in the kitchen. The flooding, from what Jared told me, is not particularly high (and they've ceased all orders plus no dishwashing for the rest of the night) so it hasn't managed to threaten anything on the electrical front. I took a wild guess at us having some automated pumping device since it's happened in the past, and turns out we do, but apparently it's not working. FYI - the building smells rather funky right now, but only on the first floor. Matthew is aware of the situation.  Few devices/chairs taken out and put safely back.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Checked playlists/automation schedule.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Coordinated a time for Leon to come in on Monday, which will be noon. I'll give him back the drive then.  Ordering/Receiving (post...

To do this evening/ was completed: Per Will's note from last night, I checked the speakers in T2 before doors this morning. I was just using signals through alignment mode in the CP750 Setup app to see if anything was wrong with the speakers. They sound fine, I even brought the LFE level up a bit. I also raised the level of the center channel considerably to try and stress it with the low frequency going through, and it held up through that. I brought the center channel level back down to its former level before exiting the alignment mode. There's no F1 in there today, but I checked a few times on Jurassic World which is in there all day. No issues with that. I will look further into it during the week. Several of our print inspection reports were in the Williamsburg projection folder for some reason, please make sure you're creating and saving them in the Prospect folder (organizing by year, then to the month of the screening after the last show). I moved all our reports...

To do this evening/ was completed: Very quiet first bit of the day here despite an early start time.  Ingested all NoBudge shorts to the LMS!  Tech'd Deep Blue Sea this morning - playlists are all set for tomorrow. Also, I redownloaded the Summer 25min preshow bit and ingested it to the LMS.

To do this evening/ was completed: I added a Fire Alarm section to Quick Controls in each IMS for theatres, 1, 2, 4, 5 & 6 with the Fire Alarm Pause and Fire Alarm Reset cues so that they're readily available. You could also use the automation "execute now," but I think it's nice to have the cues in quick controls. NPP Manual has been updated with the new information (sans 3/7). - Lillian  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Downloaded the Summer_25min preshow and after some finagling, got it ingested to LMS, but it says "CPL is corrupt," but Lillian said it should be fine.  Hi! Lillian here. I will take a look at this tomorrow morning. Got it to ingest after some troubleshooting.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: We continued the NoBudge DCP making today, with having to redo Opener on the desktop in 4/6. (Not sure what happened last night), and I've got Dead Serious transcoding in T1. I put Repatriados and The Right to Remain...

To do this evening/ was completed: New letters up, old ones down. Swapped out posters too. Downloaded the rest of the NoBudge shorts except for Circumstantial Forgiveness (empty folder). DCP'd three of them, which are in a Desktop folder titled NB46DCPS. Playlist built for Buena Vista. Summer 25min preshow element was not ingestible, immediately failed due to "unable to find a valid source to transfer from", even though it appears in the Content folder on Screenwriter. Jurassic World sounded slightly quiet at 5.0 so I updated playlists to 5.5.
