What about the video? I'm under the impression that while a good video won't get you into YC, a bad one can keep you out.

Yes, video is very helpful. But an application without video is much better than no application at all.

Better why? The best value for not accepted application is the time you spent on formulation ideas in your head and trying to make it simple/clear/interesting and of course worth money.

Given how short the video is, how bad can a bad one be?

We kinda like the requirement of no fancy post-production added; this reduces the possibility to screw it up. Besides, different people like different types of movies; but a good story always stands.
