It does seem much more agreeable when you look at it as being a "pre-interview".
I know when meeting someone in person it's pretty easy to tell how passionate they are about what they're doing (or even how comfortable they are with their ideas). I do hope that you'll write about the results of this particular experiment once its done, I'm curious about how it turns out for you.
Basically we just want to see what people are like. When we do interviews we always feel that we know more about a group after 30 seconds in person than from reading their whole application. We were hoping that video would give us some of that a step earlier.
