To do this evening/ was completed: The Odyssey looks and sounds fairly fantastic in T4. First show went super well.

To do this evening/ was completed: Happy (early) Birthday to Jack Keep an eye out for manual starts today! Broke down The Odyssey since we're screening it in T4 starting tomorrow, so (reels 3 and 2 are in their boxes) but the first reel is still on the make up table because the table's motor section was getting so stressed it started steaming/smoking a bit. Alec and I will be taking a look at this first thing in the morning. In addition to turning the table off, I unplugged it for good measure. We're gonna let it cool off this evening. There's only, essentially, the first five minutes of the feature left to put back on the reel, so hopefully tomorrow morning will be quick after it rests tonight.  Presentation Issues: Had a complaint about brightness in T2. I raised the brightness ever so slightly, but it's harder to make any real shift when we're open. It also looked good during the staff screening this morning. Will and I checked this out and whilst it looks pe...

To do this evening/ was completed: Stir of Echoes went smoothly. Equipment broken down afterward, print back on shipping reels.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built WTO/99 and filled in the timing on the cue sheet, save for the Q&As end time as this is not on the event memo yet.

I initially changed the LampLOC board (this is also an IMCB, they're identical), and adjusted lens files when I thought we'd need to replace something else, but Jerry told me where the correct board was located and I changed that and reset the lens files back to normal. TLDR we have a new LampLOC board in T2...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Wyatt radioed about the pre-show for The Odyssey in theater 3 sounding lower than normal, apparently this was an issue last week, so I checked the levels in the playlist and everything was cued to its usual volume. It sounded a bit hushed (at 3.5) inside the room, but my assumption is that the clips for this pre-show are mixed low, can't be too certain as there doesn't seem to be this issue in 1 when this pre-show runs ahead of the 35mm, but it did sound way too loud at 4.0 when I raised it Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Continued running The Odyssey in 35mm in theater 1 this evening.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Heard a strange, high pitched noise, like a dog whistle, in theater 2 during the final round of the digital The Odyssey . I'm not sure if this is coming from one of the speakers or it was just my ears ringing from being in booth 1 all night but it might be worth running a house/content check tomorrow morning to see if it was anything Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled a show playlist for  Josie and the Pussycats but this will need a lights up cue added for credits/tech'd for volume.

With my head craned over the machine to see the cues I did not realize that the lamp in projector 1 was off, presumably from the heat in the booth pushing it to its limit, and changed over to reel 4 and a black screen.

I said it was before realizing its source file was not copied to our drive and was converting from the filmmaker's. For whatever reason, probably the original .mov file being massive, the DCP-o-matic program is currently saying it will take the course of the weekend to finish.

To do this evening/ was completed: What I thought was going to be an already busy day got even busier with the little wrench of the Zoom Q+A setup, which I blessedly sorted out so we should be set.  Presentation Issues: When I was starting to schedule automation, I noticed that Theater 3 wasn't accepting anything.

To do this evening/ was completed: I took down the brunch letters to make way for the marquee rental but wasn't able to start with the rental letters as the rain picked back up, so that will have to go up tomorrow morning. All the President's Men went smoothly until the last reel. Halfway through the reel, the lamp went out. I called MOD and stopped the show, put house lights up, MOD made an announcement about the lamp. I couldn't unlock the lamphouse door to investigate, and simply turning the breaker on and off did nothing, so I just transferred the reel to the other projector and picked back up where we left off. The crowd lost about a minute of image overall. This happened just a few minutes before the credits start in the film. Afterward, I was able to unlock the door and I nudged the cable, which seemed to do the trick once I turned the breaker back on: I was able to strike the lamp successfully. Apparently someone sprinted out of the theater when the lamp went out an...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Heatwave woes and failing A/C units continue to challenge and punish us in theaters 1 and 3 this evening (but hopefully not for the whole weekend); I kept in contact with management as needed but there was little to be done on my end as the fix was in progress and guests were made aware Preshow Clips/Playlist: Lowered the volume for the bonus footage at the end of Backrooms  since it sounded very loud at the feature volume setting (I doubt this was mixed the same but the drop from 5.0 to 4.0 feels better since enough of the crowd seems to be leaving during the credits) Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: World Cup coverage continued at Trees Lounge throughout the evening Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Posters and lobby cards for the Rozz Williams event on 7/7 were delivered and stored behind 3/7 Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/c...
