To do this evening/ was completed: Updated Dark Room Films playlist with aspect and volume cues. One short, Someone to Steal Horses With, is 1.33 aspect but we haven't updated the variable ratio masking in T3 for 1.33 so we can do that tomorrow if we want to fully mask that short. Updated rest of week's cue sheets with special events info. Started a shipment in Fedex for Master but was told the Express Saver price would be $340, about $120 more than what the new agreement is, so I held off on that. New brunch and 35mm letters up on marquee. Built/scheduled private Mandalorian playlist for tomorrow's school show. Preshow starts at 10.

To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled coming week in LMS. Tech'd Arrival, volume logged, playlist built. Image looks decent-to-good. Just the quality of the blu-ray. Looked at Dark Room Shorts with Cristina, volume and ratios logged. One short is 1.33 so we might have to adjust variable ratio masking, or not, if we think it's unnecessary for one short that would otherwise feature some pillarboxing. Ran loops for Mission tonight. Good to go. Hanging with the Homeboys reel one tech'd, volume logged, nice looking print. Transferred Maddie's Secret to T3 and checked it out. Looks/sounds good.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I Love Boosters  intro was delayed by 15 minutes due to Boots Riley and his team running behind schedule.

To do this evening/ was completed: Maddie's Secret ingested to LMS. Communion DCP downloaded and ingested too. Inspected the rest of The Master, put it on house reels. Good condition. Spoons and Boosters both went smoothly. Mics back in booth, T1 equipment broken down. The shutdown playlist overrode the pause cue in T2 during the Q&A portion. I caught it immediately and brought lights back down and mics back on. This happened before the director took the stage so the Q&A itself went smoothly. Also small FYI, the mic stands needed for Spoons need to be the ones with the larger microphone holders to fit the wireless mics. Had to get one of those from T3.  **Mixer cabling in T1 might need slight tidying.** Can do Friday. Double-checked cue sheets at end of the night but would recommend one more once-over.

Built the second private playlist for tomorrow (Super Mario Bros) and made sure both private screenings are scheduled for tomorrow morning.  - L Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Setup the external speakers, yamaha, and wireless mic mixer in T2. Just turn everything on. Tested spots (preset info in the event memo!) and mics. I went through the playlist to double check volume for the drag show and feature. Note - I mentioned this before, but friendly reminder that I have added a volume cue about halfway through Suburbia's set since there's multiple songs and the last one needs to be louder. Sho...

To do this evening/ was completed: Built playlists for The Wiz, Blue Velvet, Monos (still waiting on feature) and NoBudge. T1 looks like it doesn't have 1.90 lens cue at the moment--two of the shorts are listed as 1.90 lens on event memo. Also no 4.8 volume cue on Screenwriter so I made those shorts 5.0 and will be working the event so will know to drop it by .2 when they come on. Still waiting on custom preshow for Film Feast. New 35mm letters up and took down brunch side letters at the end of the night, right as a large crowd started to materialize, so I'll put up new brunch letters tomorrow.

To do this evening/ was completed: Somewhat mysterious activity in T1 as, during final round, it seems as though the cue for the volume change (for the feature) did not execute ( I was walkied to go to T2 instead of 1, which was then corrected by James, but this delayed the fix), then later on the lights for the credits didn't execute. No projector issue, no server or lighting panel issue indicated anywhere...I went through the same playlist once last round was over and had no issues at all. Regardless, please keep an eye on T1 tomorrow.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Brought the volume up for Michael. Playlists adjusted.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Inspected all of Hanging with the Homeboys.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The private event went well. Host decided to forego the mic. Everything played without issue. The Virgin Suicides  went very well. Didn't have any framing issues, even after switching P1 from scope to flat, so maybe that was a misthread during the tech yesterday. Print is rewound for tomorrow. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: The Theater 3 server connection dropped this morning. Thankfully I noticed before the first round started and the lamp wasn't lit yet so it was just a quick power cycle to bring it back. Pulled logs from the projector and shared with DMS. Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Marquee updated?: The wrong copy was put up for the rental this morning. It was supposed to say "Lil...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Had a manual start at the top of the second round in theater 6 and misread project Hail Mary for  Mother Mary on the cues...I was alerted about the error roughly 5 minutes into the feature and made the switch Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built a pre-show for Ladies of Leisure Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: John Woods helped with moving the turntable at Trees for the Doc N Roll afterparty (the DJ ended up using an RCA setup through our mixer) + chairs and mics were brought down and put back after the events in 1 STB set up and screening went smoothly (note about the new laptop: there is an iCloud notification that pops up once every few minutes and putting the laptop on DND did not keep it from interfering with the controls on screen...might have to actually access/connect to our account to prevent it from doing this) Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Additional The Odyssey posters and a  Shaun of the Sh...

To do this evening/ was completed: Back in the swing of things. Thanks for the coverage, folks.  Got our new macbook setup today and printed out a label for it. I transferred all of our preexisting information from the old to the new, including Splashtop, which is ready to go. I've tested it, too, just in case. The password for the user NPP Projection is the same as it was before. The old macbook is in the box the new one came in and we can still use it in a pinch if need be.  There are two assisted listening devices out right now - one in T4 and another in T1.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Tech'd both Sheep Detectives and Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat is very loud, so I brought it down to 5.0, whereas Sheep Detectives might need a lift. Let's see how it's sounding with a crowd tomorrow. See notes on cue sheets below.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Setup for Spoons and Doc n Roll in T1. I brought the lightboard back up to T1 booth after t...

To do this evening/ was completed: Doc and Roll went smoothly. Mics back in booth. Q&A recorded. Started scheduling pickups for The Rookie and Help!!! but saw that Express Saver price was over $500 for one print, which felt like a lot more than previous shipments. Correct me if I'm wrong. So I held off on scheduling those. New 35mm letters up. New MacBook Air arrived, in 4/6.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Converted the slides and music tracks for the Men In Black drag performance and ingested them. Made a tech playlist which I transferred to Theater 2. Scheduled staff screenings and made a 7shifts announcement. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Pulled out 4 chairs for tonight's Q&A in Theater 1. There are two on each side of the screen. For the preshow music, I pulled up an Arthur Baker Spotify playlist on the iMac. **There will now be 7 people for the Q&A , so we'll need 3 more chairs. I didn't pull these out yet so as not to crowd the stage. 1.50 masking for Obsession is set in all theaters (except 5 where there is not enough curtain). I used the preset we had been using for 2.20 in 1, 2, 4, and 6 and made a new "1.50" cue on those servers rather than use the 2.20 cue. This is so the T5 playlist doesn't end up with the 2.20 cue. 3 and 7 use the Variable Ratio c...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built show playlists for Obsession  (minus the 1.50:1 lens/masking cue change needed for this feature content, which Alec will make in the coming days),  Bugsy Malone (this needs to be tech'd for its credit offset), and The Virgin Suicides  **only the R rated special event playlists remain** Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Before it Was Cool... Doc N Roll screening and Q&A in theater 1 this evening went smoothly + mics and chairs were returned following the show (I recorded the Q&A and told John Woods we would send this and the Hole Truth...  one along with it + Desmond's discussion with Michael Shannon for Take Shelter  is also on the booth 1 rack PC and can be sent to him as well) Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Posters for Passenger and the  Top Gun/Top Gun: Maverick rerelease were delivered and stored behind 3/7 this afternoon Ordering/Receiv...

To do this evening/ was completed: I ordered us a new laptop, it should be here in the next few days. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: John and I ran through the Doc N Roll playlist for tonight. It's all set. There's a Soundcloud playlist up on the iMac which should play during preshow. I put the spots settings for the intro & Q&A in the event memo.
