picture styles effect anything you shoot with the camera. I’ve found I utilize the C1,2,3 functions on the shooting style dial. So in the menus for video I’ll set up the camera to be pretty flat, with little to no sharpness, for raw I’ll have a different picture style (just keep in mind for RAW that info is really just metadata that you can adjust later) and for jpeg another. You can then save your picture styles (and other settings) as a custom setting so you don’t have to recall the picture style every time.

cool! I love the look of Tilt Shift lenses. While not quite the same lens babies are fun too

haven’t seen one in the wild but have heard great things about them. Just not a huge fan of the gigantic bezel

[brian hoven] ” It is at a photo shoot so lighting should be fine. Is faster or slower shutter speeds more for effects to perform later in post? or will it effect the look/feel of the video? “
I wouldn’t assume since its a photo shoot lighting will be fine. On a photo shoot you’re probably going to get strobes or at best small light panels or HMIs that are being diffused with a soft box. You may want to be prepared with some additional lighting even if its small. Light Panels makes a super easy to use and bright on camera (mounts to the hot shoe) little guy that might help or if you can swing it a bigger panel could be very useful.
As far as the shutter speed thing – while shutter speed adjustment can be used as an “effect” I suppose you’re going to be very very very unhappy with the results you get using shutter in this way. Instead if a strobe or even blurred effect is what you’re going for do that in post
Here is the general guideline about shutter speed when shooting video – You should follow the 180 degree shutter rule. So lets say you’re shooting 1080p24 your shutter speed should be set to 1/48 which is double or 180 degrees (comes from the motion picture film camera world) of your frame rate. If you were shooting 60p you’d go for 1/120. Now there can be slight variance there as most DSLRs don’t let you dial in 1/48 but rather 1/50, you might also increase the shutter slightly to avoid flicker etc but only a touch to say 1/60.

great monitor…I really like the ability to show false color for getting exposure correct.
Another monitor in this category that I’d check out and its a cheaper (in fact their doing a crazy bundle right now with batteries etc) is the Small HD DP1. Excellent monitor as well

no you could convert at that time…but unless you mask off for 720 framing i.e. keeping everything in the center of the frame you might want to the added ability to reframe a shot in post.

Well the one problem you’re going to have is that in 720 the 7D only shoots 50 or 60fps so the footage will look quite a bit different.
You’d probably be better off shooting 1080p24(23.98) converting the footage as you describe to DVCPRO HD(ProRes would be ideal but I’ve done the DVCPRO HD conversion and to the eye it looks ok) and then in post reframing and scaling the 1080 clips.
