That both Dublin's People and Perya have lots of people smoking? Maybe the 7D cause everyone around it to smoke. Maybe that will be changed with a firmware update?

;-)

Heheheh...I was thinking something along those lines, but Philip Bloom posted that both were shot outside bars, and they have no smoking in bars there so all the smokers go outside--you shoot people outside at night, you get smokers. Like shooting outside any office building in the U.S. during the day.

True dat. But I thought it was funny that two videos come out and they both have a bunch of people smoking. What's the odds of that?
Perya is gorgeous and Dublin's people makes me anxious to see what he comes up with when he has more time to really use the 7D. All in all looks like a great camera that has a few limitations (don't they all).

In one of the better 48 hour films in Portland this year, a couple of women were looking for the perfect man via interviews. They asked one guy if he liked the outdoors. His response?

"Oh, yeah. I spend a lot of time outdoors. I have to. I smoke." :)

Smoke has an aesthetic value (about the only value it has). I think that the film-makers coincidentally sought out the smoke. I was working as a PA on a fairly big budget TV commercial back in the day, and this particular shot was in a warehouse turned into an aerobics studio. The DOP had a smoke machine brought in and amongst the exercisers was a veil of smoke wafting about. I knew the DOP well and he told me later that it added texture to the shot. I think this is why historically Hollywood has shown a lot of smoking on camera, the interplay of smoke and light really looks cool.

It could also be that the cheap cost of the 7D is due to Big Tobacco subsidizing a third of it. Aha!

They're not smoking, he used a tobacco filter...

I've never seen one of those. Got any tips?
