BlackMagic Cinema Camera - ProRes HQ Test

A sequence of haphazard shots I took around the house to test out the BlackMagic Cinema Camera EF mount's ProRes HQ codec. Minimal color correction done within Final Cut Pro 7...would have used Resolve 10, but, if my current NLE doesn't indicate, my computer's hardware isn't quite up to snuff... All shots captured at the native 800 ISO with my Sigma 24mm f/1.8 lens (which becomes about a 55mm when you consider the crop factor). Aperture values vary widely depending on the lighting conditions, which were largely natural, with a few practicals thrown in. Music accredited to Cloudkicker; songs "1," "2," and "3," from the album Loops. Caveat: I'm colorblind, in case any of the footage looks "off."
