Interesting. Would it follow, then, that filming a white wall would give you a longer shoot time?

yep.. otherwise theyd sound something like a blender when shooting!

If we can get our subjects to keep completely still, then we're good to go. Most of my subjects are elderly, so I may be able to squeeze out a few extra minutes!

When operating in Live View mode (which is the mode that enables video recording), the mirror is moved up out of the light path and held there until the mode is deactivated. This is the reason why the optical viewfinder isn't usable during Live view; because it's blocked by the mirror. And it's the reason why you don't hear the mirror clacking away 24 times per second.
Makes sense. I just thought they had excellent damping on the mirror! Ah well, live and learn.

Yes but you might as well just take a still picture. :)
