How formal should my video response be?

There are three people I am really good friends with who are also applying to CMC from my school.

We all took the very casual route.

We had a 30 second monologue at the end explaining why we are good fits, but most of it was short clips of us just being ourselves. All of us did the same format.

For example, one of my friends hula hoops, dives (she’s on the team), intentionally falls from a climbing wall like 15 feet (she’s a climber), puts a Hillary sticker on a door (she was on the campaign), eats a pancake, hugs a few people, dances a little bit. A different one of my friends and I both play instruments, so we played our own background music (and said we did so at the end).

We took it to mean “Why should you stand out?”, so we showed that we are real people.
