The trick to media is balance. If used properly, pictures really enhance a presentation. But avoid having whole slides that are just pictures. This really detracts from it. Also, I find that you should always talk a minimum of 3X the amount of time they are watching a video. For instance, the animation that we are given at the beginning is a good video length. A match might be good. But together the presentation would become less personal.
