I fully buy into the value of apprenticing and have been trying to get into a program since moving to SF this summer. You'll be seeing my application shortly. Any suggestions on the video that would maximize my chances of acceptance?

Don't read from a script. Be yourself. Talk about something you think is really interesting. Looking forward to reading your application!
