Limiting time = limiting creativity
Not really, you'd be surprised with how much you can fit in 30 seconds. That and part of being creative is knowing how to fit everything you want into that 30 seconds. Just from a purely objective standpoint, you would need a good sized render farm for anything above about a minute if you wanted to finish in time, remember that 30 seconds of video is 900 frames the computer has to render or at about 2/3 minutes a frame (for a decently complex scene) thats around 2 days.
Just my $0.02.
