I probably wouldn't do 30 seconds each, but I still might do 3 of the 10-second ones I had in mind. If I can talk anyone else into it that is. :)
Also, just from a personal standpoint I certainly don't feel 30 seconds of vid compares to 100 words of fic or 2 icons at all. Words can be completed quickly and 10 seconds of vid requires ripping/clipping/editing & merging music - it combines graphics and audio and is much harder from a technical standpoint, IMO I suppose the argument could be made that someone could use longer clips and fill 10 seconds relatively easily, but someone can ramble on and type up 100 words in just a few short minutes, too.
((and sorry for being one of *those* pesky participants - I just have very strong feelings about vidding and it seems to be undervalued a lot when compared with fic and graphics - LOL -- I'm good with whatever you decide))

This is my whole reasoning. I know vidding is more work than fic (probably why I don't do it more :P), but I also don't want people seeing 10 seconds and slapping together something without any thought or effort. That said, I'll lower it to 20 seconds. :)
For the record, I don't undervalue vidding. I love watching them when done well and I know it takes a lot of effort to do them really well. I just don't people slapping something together because they think it's easy and not because they want to do it.

Any chance of reconsidering the requirement?
This is actually the sort of thing I had in mind to do:
