Thank you for that clarification.
This particular BMCC ProRes clip by Olivia's camera operator looks odd to me, too, but I'm not sure why. That's why I've asked them about it in the comments section on the Vimeo page. Hopefully they'll respond to my questions:
There are what I think are good-looking examples of BMCC ProRes footage available, such as by James Tonkin & Den Lennie:

But as you know, many factors might contribute to a particular clip looking not-so-good, such as focus, lens sharpness, filter quality, white balance, aperture-related diffraction, and so forth. I don't know if any of those were a factor with Olivia's sample clip. Cheers.
