To do this evening/ was completed: The T4 Christie didn't turn on automatically this morning for some reason. I just had to power it on manually, but keep an eye out for that tomorrow. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Law of Desire  went very well. FYI - the lab cues are present, but practically imperceptible on screen. Look for the grease cues during the show tomorrow. Also, the motor start cue on reel 1 is pretty hard to see so look closely. All the others are very visible.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I was scheduled to start this evening at 7:30 so I was immediately kept busy running a rehearsal for Basic Instinct  with the performers in 2.

John will be picking up Law of Desire from the Quad on Thursday. Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Looked at Basic Instinct...

To do this evening/ was completed: I started taking down the brunch letters but the pole quickly betrayed me. Basically the screw that you use to tighten the suction cup has lost traction and just spins endlessly without tightening, which causes the cup to not hold firm and point downward, making it very difficult to use. For my own sake I hope this isn't remedied instantly by someone else's hands, as I tried for a while to fix it, but yeah, check it out.  I looked at the DCP of For the Good of the Herd between rounds in T1, all good for tomorrow's tech. Didn't schedule a playlist. Shakedown went smoothly, mic and mixer broken down afterward. T2 roof hatch is secure, just FYI.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: I noticed the curtains in theater 2 were covering the sides of the image during  The Death of Robin Hood  in the first round (the mixture of keystoning and the change to 1.66 from scope seem to be the culprits here) so I opened it up to 1.78 which caused some very minor pillarboxing but spared the picture being obscured Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built a show playlist for Benedetta  and adjusted the show playlist for Basic Instinct (this still needs one of its pre-show songs updated and tech'd; both features need to be tech'd as well and have light cues placed at the start of the credits) Built and scheduled an infants show playlist for The Death of Robin Hood in theater 2 tomorrow morning with the 1.78 masking cue included + built "T2" playlists (with the 1.78 masking adjustment) for all future OCAP and CCAP shows of The Death of Robin Hood  in this room Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Encore staff sho...

To do this evening/ was completed: Sent out an update for tomorrow's  Leviticus staff screening. Moved it to T7 to make way for the private Toy Story 5 show, which is scheduled for T3. Couldn't get content to transfer from LMS to servers so had to restart LMS, all good now. Did not switch out brunch letters this evening as there was too much commotion/foot traffic when I went to go check, so I'll do that tomorrow. Shakedown needs a lights up cue and start credits time on the cue sheets FYI.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: The website had the 12pm Toy Story 5 listed as OCAP for today, but we had the 11am scheduled as OCAP following Matthew's film schedule. A guest at the 11am show complained about the captions, but Rebecca and I decided not to stop the movie and switch to the CCAP version for one guest. I also swapped the 12pm show in T2 to OCAP for today since that's what was on the website. Toy Story OCAP listings are correct for tomorrow and the rest of the week on the website.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: A guest asked for a closed captioning device ahead of the final round of Backrooms in theater 3. This guest is here frequently with their partner and will normally take the device and set it up on their table themselves. Roughly 5 minutes into the feature I was radioed to come down and troubleshoot some technical difficulties. The device was on but only showed "Dolby Captiview ready" on screen. I've run into this issue before and generally speaking rebooting the Fidelio transmitter in the booth will make for a quick fix but this was not the case. I unplugged the USB line, tried the original closed captioning device in addition to a second one I'd brought down from the third floor, then tried unplugging/plugging in the power three more times to no avail. Both devices continued to read "Dolby Captiview ready" each time they connected to the system. I connected both devices to theater 7's Fidelio trans...

To do this evening/ was completed: Ingested Her Private Hell and Jackass to LMS. Ingested new forecasts, deleted old playlists and built new 6/26 A1s. Tech'd Ferris, volume bumped to 5.8, looks good. T4 had no Shutdown last night so lamp was on this morning just a heads up. Meteor Man print arrived, in T4, inspected reels 1-3. Good condition overall but has a lot of detritus attached to it, kind of dirty.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Fancy Dance intro and screening this evening went smoothly. I placed the mic and mixer back in the storage bin beneath the curtain following the show. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Feature content for Jackass 5 and Her Private Hell was delivered via Deluxe this evening and should be available for ingestion some time tomorrow Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Had to double check The Death of Robin Hood  for myself... truly a choice having scope transition to 1.66 inside a 1.85 container. I would personally leave the masking be for the duration of the film but the bars might prove distracting for some. Left the playlist as Lillian built it. Thankfully the curtains come in over black frames after the film has quieted down. Should be an interesting experiment to see play out with crowds. Asset tracki...

To do this evening/ was completed: Opening up Toy Story 5 today!  I sent an email to projection and house managers about the aspect ratio change that happens 35 minutes into Death of Robin Hood, in addition to it being letterboxed before that change, just in case patrons ask. I added a 1.66 masking cue so that it is nice and flush for the rest of the film. Tech'd this in multiple theatres to make sure everything's firing off well.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Toy Story 5, Leviticus and Robin Hood all ready to go.  Trailer Updates: Ingested Oak Street trailer Special Events/ AV set up: Fancy Dance is all ready to go!

To do this evening/ was completed: Palco is working on the roof, so the T2 hatch is open. They're still up there as I write, just make sure this gets closed and locked before they leave. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: E.T. and Fresh Kill played nicely. World Cup is on in Trees with no sound for now. I plugged the XLR cables in and turned on the amp, so you'll just need to turn up the volume on the projector if the bar decides to play the sound. There's also the Knicks game at 8:30 tonight, which conflicts with the World Cup game at 9, so I guess it's up to bar/MOD to decide which to put on. But it'll probably be the Knicks. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): The five boxes addressed to me in 4/6 were merch for the Rozz Williams screening in July. I took the smaller boxes out of the bigger boxes and am storing them under the table in here. There is more of this to come...

To do this evening/ was completed: Built the SE playlists I could, trailer list document updated. Thought the ET keys would open at midnight but they don't open until 8 am tomorrow so tech will have to be then. World Cup on in Trees, all good.

To do this evening/ was completed: It will rain tonight! Please check the T2 booth every now and again.  FYI just a friendly reminder that the keys for ET open up after midnight, so we'll have to do a volume/credits check then just to be sure, but it should be just fine the way it is on the cue sheets with the info from the ingest letter.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built all A1 6/19 playlists! Please continue SE playlists this evening.  Trailer Updates: Ingested SE/ A1 trailers to the LMS.  Special Events/ AV set up: Ripped the BluRay of and started DCPing Toy Story (looks great!) in T1.

To do this evening/ was completed: Had our cinema meeting today and we're in great shape. FYI the dvd we received of Toy Story (1995), for the private event, is not of greta quality (both as a ripped file and as a disc), so Alec reached out to Chenelle to see if we can get a BluRay.  Staff Screenings have been posted on 7shifts, blocked on the calendar and scheduled on the LMS. - LH Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Updated necessary first run playlists with with the Coyote Acme trailer instead of Minions since we're probably not getting the new movie.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Heroes for Sale  intro and screening went super smoothly. Mics and stands were returned after the show. The print shed a bit so the projectors got a thorough cleaning. All reels are back on plastic and the can is sealed. Labels/return can be printed and scheduled tomorrow.  DJ set got underway as soon as the film ended. No issues with playback. Not exactly a fan of the mess left around the turntables by Mr. Kline...food and drinks...cables all a mess...I digress...put everything away once the event wrapped (note: one of the cables, XLR to RCA line, was under tension beneath the turntable and got stripped from its XLR side. I thought I had my finger on the clasp to properly separate it from the wall XLR extensions but pulled on it too hard. Will need to replace this one for future DJ sets unless we have a spare here or at NWB. I left this on the desktop in...

To do this evening/ was completed: Re-ingested Ratatouille to T1. All You Need is Kill ingested to LMS. New brunch letters up. Gave guest Captiview unit and it quickly snapped at the base.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Updated the Chocolate Babies show playlist with the restored feature content and added timing for credits Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Double checked Stolen Kingdom in theater 3 prior to the first round...thought about adjusting the feature volume but the mix is too low at 4.0 and loud enough at 4.5 Ran loops in 1 for Strangers on a Train this morning. Ended up running the print with the curtains at 1.33 since the 1.37 cue kept reverting the masking back to 1.85. I have a feeling this has to do with changes made to the settings for Obsession since that film needed a custom preset but I could be wrong. For now I have updated the playlist to open the curtains to 1.33 but this can be better remedied tomorrow since the encore screening is not until 9:15PM. The show went smoothly and the print is heads out beneath the rewind table Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (c...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Spoons went well. I broke down all the equipment and put it away after. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Multiple attempts to download the 4K Chocolate Babies DCP from Dropbox via the browser failed so I just started a free trial so I could sync the video file with the Dropbox folder on the desktop. This is really the only reliable way to download large files from Dropbox, it seems. Everything else looks like it downloaded completely the first time, so once the video file is done syncing, copy it into the Share folder and we should be able to ingest this.

To do this evening/ was completed: School screening for Mando went great in T1 this morning. - LH Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Tech'd and updated the playlist for Fabulous Stains - LH Went to go check out Bev Hills Troop for the private event on Thurs and it was out of sync. I've been attempting to correct this with running the file through Handbrake at 24fps instead of 30 and matching that with a 24fps preset in DCP-o-matic. The audio is still running, so once that's done, please transcode. - LH Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Went through the playlist for and adjusted a few things for the shorts program tonight. Since we do not have Obsession in T3 tonight, I reset the variable ratio masking back to 1.37 and the 1.66 masking cue back to 1.66 proper. We can reset the variable ratio masking tomorrow, though it's not needed til Wednesday, for Obsession. There are two mics in stands off to the side and both have been tested. - LH Ordering/Recei...
