Ah, I see what the problem is here. You're confused over the difference between
a 10-second piece of footage and
a concept.
A concept can be expanded indefinitely. The only limitation is the imagination.
A 10-second piece of footage, however, lasts for ten seconds. Even if you play it in slow motion, it can't be expanded very much. There is no way that an actor who appears silently for 10 seconds can be the leading man in a film.
Hope this helps.
