I am using the Panny GH3 for video and trying to creating a shallow depth of field. I am not obsessed with creating a ridiculously blurred background, but I'm more concerned with creating some blur at a certain proximity from my subject.
In this video, at 03:08 the subjects entire upper body is in frame and a significantly shallow depth of field is still achieved.

In this picture, again a large amount of the subjects upper body is in frame with great shallow results. This is using the leica 45mm lens at f2.8

Now, I have the Panasonic 25mm 1.4 lens, and cannot achieve anything near these results at such a proximity from the subject. Even with the larger aperture.
What am I missing? Thank you!
