On my latest show I tested shooting uncompressed for vfx, especially for screens. And counter intuitively the prores actually plays a little nicer, at least on the old lenses we are shooting with. The uncompressed was giving us a hard edge ringing that had to be stomped down while the prores softened it out and we could pull keys more efficiently.
