Not so. As a general rule only amateurs and pre-video news gatherers
used transparency films. Feature films are shot on colour negative and
printed on another type of negative film that is maskless and is called
print film, eg Eastmancolor Print Film. Vericolor Print Film is a still
photography version of this and is used to make slides from negatives.
These should not be confused with the dumbed down labelling of colour
negative film as "print film" because manufacturers think most customers
don't know that prints are made from negatives (probably true).
BTW the product names I quoted could be obsolete as my knowledge is some
years in the past, so my apologies if that is the case.
