GH2 Please help me out DVX!

the question here is high quality enough for what use? the grading outdoors looks abit odd to me, i get a "grey" feel, but thats just personal taste. i really like the black and white shots though.
 
Looks like it's got a shadow/highlight filter over it the whole film.
I'd probably have another go at the grading

Is it comparable to musgo's (search on vimeo or youtube) colorgrading at all? Does this video look extremely high definition?
 
I think it looks to flat/grey (for my taste). Often this is the result when shooting flat and then not restoring contrast and saturation fully in post. I have found that shooting with camera settings as close to the final look you desire will get the best results.

There were a lot of compression artifacts and blurring, so coupled with the grey look your clips didn't have the usual GH2 crispness and clarity. I'd suggest shooting some typical scenes for your project several times with various camera settings, then applying curves and saturation to taste, and rendering all these tests the same way to compare... keep careful notes! This method will really teach you a lot, and makes subsequent shootings easier and more controlled.

You've got that same odd HDR look that he uses (he gets it through colorista II i believe).
It's not really working for your video - he tweaks it from shot to shot. I'd wager you have blanket hit every shot with the same settings.
