This is really interesting! Because I find that when I try to write from a movie in my head, it comes out really dry and stilted - I end up basically writing a movie script with dialogue tags and extra description added, and I have to do something to force it into a different POV before I get something that flows.
There is a whole different toolkit of narrative between text and moving pictures, and sometimes I wonder if the reason 3PL has become so dominant is because it's the best approximation of the most natural way of doing movies - the dominance of 3PL in text started happening at around the same time movies became mature enough to start building their own language.
When I'm writing 3PL, I always struggle with how much of the narration is in character voice and how much is me. It sounsd like you've gotten really comfortable with a sort of limited 3rd person omniscient/personal, which is great! You can definitely do a story where the narrator's voice is a presence without going all the way to the obtrusive, gimmicky stuff, and I wish I was better at hitting that balance.
