You mean to get color accuracy for the transfer onto the final
transparency that gets sent to theaters (kind of like the reverse of
profiling a scanner+film combo)? Hollywood shoots negative for its
latitude... I thought it was interneg all the way until the final
print, which I'd assume is on transparency (transferred by a film
recorder).
