Video During Presentation?

All teams are required to submit the essay, and that essay was submitted online. This is my first year working on the CA, but to my knowledge, the judges have read the essay beforehand, so it doesn't need to be re-read during the presentation. I believe that there's a 5 minute limit for the Q&A and a 5 minute limit for the presentation, so showing a video would eat up the presentation time, not the Q&A time. (however, I could be interpreting the PDF incorrectly: again, it's my first year working with the award)

We'll probably be showing the video with our presentation. Because it's required this year, we would like to see some payoff for the work and effort that we put into making it, so that it wasn't done just to fulfill a requirement.
