What shutter speed? If gain is off and the shot is very noisy it typically indicates underexposure. Also- it’s really hard to tell from Vimeo whether grain is in the original footage or side effect of web compression. But I’d guess you underexposed a tiny bit.

Did you use your zebras? What about the spot metering? All this stuff comes with practice. Also having a monitor with waveform…

May I ahem- respectfully suggest you look through the manual a bit more? 🙂 Zebras help you gauge your exposure by specifically telling you which areas of your frame are overexposed. Here’s the basics on Zebras:

Mastering them is key to getting your shots to look right. I’ve also got a couple of courses that can help:
