I'm just going to clarify my other comment about the workload, since I sense I didn't explain well originally - I think you're way underestimating how long it takes to make even a one minute vid. I take your point about matching up to a 20k story, but the problem is as presented in the list of minimums, all those other minimums are at best a fifth of the time commitment of even a shorter vid, in reality probably closer to a tenth, and that's assuming it's a movie and not a tv show where you have to sort through 50 or 100 hours of footage, which can in itself be a job that takes a significant number of hours.
Ps I love all the other mediums and know they have their own difficulties - I'm strictly talking about work in terms of total time spent. I quizzed a few other vidders about this in case it was just that I'm personally slow, but some who also art and edit images agreed that timewise the requirements don't seem lined up at all. At two minutes of vid, the minimums just look so unbalanced that I can't really see any vidder feeling encouraged to contribute.
