The more channels by which someone can see the media you want them to see, the better off you are.
I've been lucky enough to be in touch with a few reporters at my local news paper while developing this project. I'll check with them tomorrow on the preferred format to receive videos! In the mean time the best option would be to put a full link to the video either in the About the Team section, or attaching a video file to the email when you send it.
