Both of these cameras will do an excellent job for you. But I think you'll find that, for video, the flip out screen is very useful. Go with the T3i. Ignore Nikon because their video capabilities just aren't at the level Canon is at.

I would take the D5100, because of it's good low light performance and amazing image quality.
