I was wondering what makes a piece of video have that characteristic video feel. Is it the frame rate? The lighting? How do you remove it?

I love that you made up your own word for this post! Video-y. Heh heh heh.

Anyway, I have no idea what you're talking about...

....video-y!

my GL2 lets me shoot in "frame" mode if I want. Gives it that movie feel, but i dunno if I like it.

But I don't think he wants it. I think he's trying to get rid of it.

Our esteemed Webmaster, Marc, gives a good explanation of why video looks so 'clean' here:

He also describes how to get a realistic 'film' look by using a plugin like Magic Bullet. There are watermarked demos available at:
