I can confirm that multiples of 160 have much less noise than the “full” ISOs. As Andrew wrote, you can use those odd numbers with Magic Lantern.
I have the feeling (did specific testing though), that ISO 640 has less noise than 400…
So going up in 160 steps will be better than 100 steps.
Have you tried the new Technicolor cine style? I find it creates even lesser noise than the built-in picture profiles. A bit grading in post and voilá. -
7D is the better still-camera, 60D the better video camera with it’s swivel-screen and manual audio, but it’s a great still cam as well!

Have you set the aspect ratio (16:9) right in the codec options?

Most definitly a post production effect. Quite easy to achieve in After Effects. Animate some blur-effect (maybe field-blur) with a moving mask or b/w gradient. Something like that…
Don’t think they used a tilt-shift lens.

[Andy Djohan] “BTW I also have MPEG Streamclip installed on our video editing iMac”
With MPEG Streamclip you can batch transcode and resize your clips to SD, just be sure to uncheck anything that has to do with deinterlacing.
Works quite well, I use it a lot to create SD-Proxy clips.

If you need HD, you’d probably have to rent some high speed cam. But there are some cameras out there, like the Casio EXILIM high speed cameras that can shoot up to 1200 fps. But they shoot in anything but standard frame sizes.
Other option: Some Sony HDV cameras (I know the V1 has that feature) have a high-speed option. They shoot with about 200 fps. Problem: Recording time for each clip is limited to 3, 6 or 12 seconds and picture quality is… well… not that good (low-res blown up to hdv-res and quite a lot of artifacts…)

You could transcode your footage to the free AVID DNxHD codec. Works perfectly!
There is way to proxy-edit in Premiere. I had to edit a short film on a very slow machine running CS3, so I
1) transcoded all of the footage with MPEG Streamclip (freeware) to DV-files (don’t over-write your original files!).
2) I edited the film using the proxy-dv-files in a DV-project.
3) Then I created an HD project (XDCAM EX template) and imported the DV-project.
4) Set all of the DV-files to offline
5) relinked the clips to the original HD-MOVs
6) Exported the film in HD-res with the Media Encoder
If Premiere crashes during export, transcode the original files to the before mentioned free DNxHD codec (with appropriate settings) and relink to them.

A bit late, but hope you all had great holidays with your families!

[Daniel Hughes] “Really? In Vegas you just click whatever resolution in a drop down list, edit, then put it back to HD and you’re done haha! Goodness!”
I think, with Premiere CS5 it’s possible to change resolution of any sequence any time.
Maybe I misunderstood your post, but that hasn’t anything to do with proxy-editing, has it? You still have to relink the low-res clips to the high-res videos… -
Proxy editing (editing in smaller resolutions) in Premiere is quite easy. Batch transcode all your footage to your desired editing resolution. Edit your footage in an appropriate Premiere project. Open the locked edit in an HD project, set all of your source footage to offline and relink it with the FullHD files. A bit time consuming, but works quite well.
