If you're a top contender at your event the Judge Advisor will look over your video to make sure it's alright to show (no profanity, no copyright issues) but the actual Judges who decide the winner will not see it. It's basically a way for you to quickly sum up your team's efforts to other teams. It's an opportunity for you to have fun in a low-risk medium.
How sure about this are you? I've heared several differend things one of which being that the video is a way for judges to make a choice out of the final 3.

Regarding the origional question:
I think Andrew covered most of it. I would look for a way to get the ones who are presenting in a comfortabel situation. Don't force a theme or write out a complete script if your presentors aren't comfortabel with it.
Finally I would like to point you to an amazing seminar made by team 1114 Simbotics regarding all the aspects of the chairmans award:

This should help you create a good submission.
Good Luck!
