To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled the rest of Your Mother x3, excluding the Sunday Q&A show. Inspected all of Little Shop of Horrors. The beginning of the first reel is very damaged, basically every few frames taped up with a lot of tears left unrepaired. I taped them up as best as I could and I think the reel will run smoothly but be aware. Also put Eternal Evil of Asia on house reels. Converted The Demon Bird to DCP, can ingest tomorrow. Both SE screenings went smoothly tonight.

To do this evening/ was completed: No update on the bird situation, at least as of 10 pm. Scheduled first four days of coming week in LMS, excluding Your Mother x3, which still needs a playlist. Built and scheduled both Gotham Shorts programs. *Note*: I could not find the last short for Program 1, We're Not Done Yet.

To do this evening/ was completed: T2 leak desisted as the night went on. The booth is dry. Started scheduling Express Saver pickups for our outgoing prints but the price for each print was listed at over $300, which is a little bit higher than what we usually pay, so I held off on making the shipments, but I still brought the prints down to the side entrance. If you ship in the daytime tomorrow, they still need zip ties. Will make Gotham playlists tomorrow.

To do this evening/ was completed: Just FYI Alec and I will be looking into new captiview devices since a patron broke one, severing the screw for the clasp/neck attachment, so we only have one left with a spine/clamp. The other side of this is that they don't make the ones we use anymore. What I did today as a temporary work around for when we need more captioning devices out simultaneously, is that I attached the working captions head to the cup holder pieces that came with them (we obviously haven't been using those since we don't have cup holders. There's two of these ready to go (in addition to the last clamped one) and you'll just pop em on the table. I told MOD, too, which I know might be a pain for space on the table but they really don't take up too much room.  See image! - L Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Updated all the playlists (including SE) with the corrected volumes for the How To's with the QR since I found today that both need...

Built 9/25 A1 playlists. I did not make new versions of Odyssey , Miasma , Tony , or Paw Patrol . It looks like these will final on Wednesday.

To do this evening/ was completed: A longer day for ol' Kegg dominated mostly by one event, but managed to pick at a few other things as well.  Presentation Issues: Looking at the slides/preshow for Litany , I couldn't quite figure out the correct lens file it should be shown in. Flat and 1.78 were not quite right because the sides were cut off. 2.00 was the closest I could figure, though it still cut off the top and the bottom a little bit.  As the feature started, Desmond asked me if it was OCAP, which I didn't notice when I teched it that afternoon. Looking at Jack's blog, it looks like it had captions somewhere, but that someone else was supposed to look into potentially burning the subs into the image, but I couldn't find a blog saying anyone had. These were minor things that ultimately went fine, but wanted to note. For some reason, the automation cues for the intro slide didn't fire when I was teching it, even though the ones for the Q+A slide did. I just...

To do this evening/ was completed: We got the film schedule today, so I filled out the LMS Friday, 9/11 - Wednesday, 9/16. We're waiting on The Uprising,  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built a tech playlist for NoBudge and checked out all the short films with Desmond today. I adjusted the tech playlist as we went a long, so we can use that when making the official playlist. Everything looks/sounds good.  We also took a look at Bullet (1996) which, frankly, could look better, so Desmond is locating another file.  Trailer Updates:  Special Events/ AV set up: Do the Right Thing private event is all set for tonight! FYI - this is a manual start. Thanks!  Updated the Gang Related playlist for Desmond since he asked to put in the Tupac trailer in addition to Attack the Block.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Received the print of Perfume!  Started on the playlist for Litany for Survival.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Poetic Justice went well overall. Bad grease cues on R2 caused a wonky changeover and I fixed them. The print is back on house reels for tomorrow.

To do this evening/ was completed: Put up Onslaught letters and forewent the rest of the split titles, per Alec's recommendation. Also took off the 35mm letters for Odyssey. The 35mm poster for Odyssey is still up... "Now Showing" for Onslaught. Old playlists and forecasts removed, new A1 playlists built. A good amount of them were running to about 42 minutes of preshow so per Kat's recommendation I removed the Heart of the Beast trailer.  Tech'd: Gridlock'd, Poetic Justice, Gang Related, Litany For Survival and its preshow assets . Volumes logged. The Litany DCP we were provided does not have captions burned in, so I'm thinking it just has a file embedded for closed-captioning devices. We'll look at the pro-res files and see if we can make a new DCP with captions that way. Litany assets: ALMPromo: 4.0 Volume, 1.85 lens/mask. QVNYC Trailer: 5.0 Volume 1.85 lens/mask. I saw a note on the board stating Gridlock'd volume and credit time but both of th...

To do this evening/ was completed: For tomorrow: we can forgo putting all the splits up on the marquee and just put up Onslaught . Don't forget to change the poster to now showing! Also we should take down "On 35mm" next to The Odyssey since it's DCP only starting tomorrow. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled Merrily We Go To Hell and Gang Related Downloaded and ingested the trailers for the Litany for Survival event.

To do this evening/ was completed: Our Network has been updated. Nick from DMS came in to drop off the relay mechanism and take a look at 3/7 before his install visit next week. I showed him in and around the space and he checked in with the WiFi guys. He also liased with Chris whilst scoping out the existing relay system in in 3/7.  It is still somewhat of a wreck in the 46 booth (cables and boxes that, to my knowledge, need to be thrown out, but I asked if they were going to clean up/what needs to be cleared out and I didn't get a proper response in both English and when I asked in Spanish lol so apparently someone might be coming round to finish that up tomorrow. If we don't, we can call Juan and double check. I did tidy things up though, so at least it's not absolute chaos in here.  Once the Network was up and properly running, I tested out theatres 4 and 6 to see if anything needed to be rebooted and lo n behold, only the dimmer panels needed to be rebooted in all the...
