Any length of video assignment can motivate and inspire students to increase their quality of work.  This podcast has suggestions of apps you can use, but also some ideas on approaches of using video creation.  If you think that a quick, unedited video has little meaningful learning in it.  I disagree, maybe the first few times you use video will be a little rough, but students learn fast and will develop their skills.  Maybe try one of the apps below before using any of the video creation tools.  Small steps!  Be patient!
