Fuzzy footage FTW!

A question I have about the below footage.

1. I can't remember the exact settings I used. Is there a way to see the settings in camera? I still have the source footage on my CF card. However, I know for a fact that this is 720P, 60fps footage at the least. It was shot on a Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6. I believe the iris was wide open. Not quite sure about the ISO. What might make this footy so grainy?

2. Pay no attention to the color, unless that has something to do with the graininess. The client wanted something warm. I also have not matched my zoom audio over the camera audio yet.

3. Am I being over critical?

well the scene looks underexposed to me. whats the lighting setup?

Also you dont know the iso...so that can be it.

And shutter wide open? no such thing. Iris i think you are refering to.

You are also shooting with a slow lens...so slow lens...inadequate lighting...high iso will lead to grain.

Of course i am speculating on most of this except the lens...cuz thats the only solid info you've given.
 
Thanks for your quick reply! Yah, I meant iris. I'm on 3 cups of coffee today so I'm doing 100 things at once :-)

I had 2 continuous umbrella lights, yes, lighting on a budget. One was lighting behind her and 1 light in front.

Do you know of a way to see what ISO the clip was shot at in camera? This info could help. But you're right, it's probably just the lens. Maybe I should use the 50mm 1.8 next time.
 
When you record video a little thumbnail is created. When you change it's extension to .jpg you can find out some very important info a bout the footage, mainly what ISO it was shot.
 
Thanks! I will try that when I get to work tomorrow.

Now, when I try to use the 3-way color corrector on this clip, I selected the white area of one of the framed pictures in the background on the white wheel and nothing happened to the footage. There's a bunch of examples where this works well on YouTube, but doesn't seem to do anything to my footy.
