Generally the colour isn’t too far off, but the skintones are a little pink and the blacks are crushed.

It certainly isn’t graded to the print, but overall, there isn’t a monster colour shift from the preview, the preview is a bit dark all round, which makes the colours a bit more saturated and pushed, so the colour is off a bit, but not drastically so. For example, the blue scenes would not be grey/white on the print, but might be a little less saturated with a bit of a balance change when graded to the print.

I got a preview of Reel1 of the English print done, here is a link https://infinit.io/_/3pQJnw6 again, not graded to the print, just a test to see what kind of shape it is in. The highlights are clipped, I pushed the low end up a bit so you can see what detail is in there, but it had the effect of desaturating the colour a bit. Apart from the saturation and highlights blowout, this is a bit closer to what the prints look like projected.
I’ve had a major financial and personal setback so won’t be getting the rest done for a long while unfortunately, but thought you would all like to see what kind of shape the two prints are in.
