I disagree. From a video point of view always shoot more than you plan on using because if you shoot the minimum you will always run out of usable footage. Its Murphy's Law. If you're really worried about how much space to save then use the editing feature of the 7D and trim the front and end of the clips till the "action" starts on the camera while you're still out on your shoot.
