Hi, I noticed DSLR footage can look filmic when doing landscape shots or macro, but as soon as you get to footage of people, it often time stops looking filmic and starts having that video look.
To me, it comes out especially in the way people move; it's too smooth (unless people crank up the shutter, in which it's too "To Save Private Ryan"-ey.
Here's a random example I found on YT:

There's something about the motion where it's too smooth and video-ey.
Then I found some GH2 footage that's still DSLR, but doesn't have that sort of smoothness. All in all, it looks a lot more filmic.

Anybody know why that is? Is it that video two used a film grain overlay? Something about the hacked GH2? I have no idea.
