The best approach to demonstrating the 16 types via video would be to have individuals who strongly identify as each type to discuss their type. By focusing on videoing individuals defining their own type, you can get a sense of how they process information, how they structure their language use, and how they use non-verbal communication in relationship to their use of word structure.
It would also be useful to show demographic diversity representing each type, so that we have both genders, various age categories, and cultures. I could see having libraries of videos connected to each type, and/or to create one final video for each type that includes perhaps four demographically diverse people answering some basic, defining questions. Perhaps five minutes of interview for each individual, so that you have a 20-30 minute video combining four+ individuals for each type. That way no one person is hijacking the concept, and it is more authentic by an order of magnitude because you also have examples of non-verbal communication and the actual thought processes expressed through language.
Step 1.
I propose establishing the best set of questions, which I recommend being somewhat open-ended to allow each function and type to demonstrate their interpretation of the concept. For example, "What do you value most?" or "What traits do you think are most important", "What behaviors do you dislike the most in people?", etc. Questions should demonstrate what people value and reject, how they solve a problem, how they relate to the future and to the past, etc. For this first step we would need to establish the set of questions, and ten should be enough if they are meaningful and representative of life.
Step 2
I propose accepting all videos that people are interested in creating, so that there is a wealth of material to draw from. This larger collection of videos could also be made available on youtube or elsewhere for someone wanting a comprehensive sense of a specific type. Someone brought up the question about the problems with mistyping, and yes, some people will submit videos that are mistyped, but for this step that is okay because it is gathering a large pool of data, which I suspect will statistically stabilize itself accurately even if there is some false data.
Step 3
For the final hybrid videos that combine four+ individuals of each type, these will be selected from the larger pool of videos. The process for selecting could either be member voting, or someone designated to be in charge could make these selections based on their knowledge of MBTI. And of course, more than one person could do this project, so there could even be more than one set of these videos. This is the type of project that benefits from a wealth of material as opposed to a tightly controlled presentation of material. I suspect the information will be more accurate when the pool of data is large, so you get a statistical representation.
I will be coming back to propose a list of questions, so please feel free to submit your questions as well.

Though I understand if this defeats the purpose of the videos and what other people/most people would rather be seeing.
