Rendering for video is also time and processor intensive in its own way due to high frame counts. Render time optimization and resource management become critical concerns when rendering animation. It's important to know how long each frame takes to render and to do the math to find out how long the whole animation will take. Then you can figure out if you need to adjust your expectations of image quality and change lighting or render settings to reduce calculation time or maybe rent more nodes on a render farm network or whatever you need to do. But you need to know how long your render is going to take before you begin the process.
