The simple, user friendly camera interface worked quite well with our production. DaVinci Resolve Studio aided us in reviewing dailies and creating proxy files while on location, in addition to grading the finished film.

Color grading by Cheeky Monkey Post utilized real time DNG and EXR workflows in its DaVinci Resolve Studio DI suite, added Melissa M. Offutt, owner/founder of Cheeky Monkey Post, LLC.

All shots were previewed on a 4K 32 monitor and output at 4K with the DeckLink 4K card for preview.
