Were I to have deeper shelving, I'd probably augment those spotlights with LED strips, but I'd make sure to conceal them- a visible light source will distract from the intended focal point.
Finally, I'm actually a diorama guy, when I have the room to do so (I currently don't). An early display of mine was a 15'x3'x3' display housed in a glass case. Overhead tube lighting is ideal for this. I used fluorescents at the time, but I'd go LED on those were I to do it again.
As far as video is concerned, the only way I've personally been able to embed them on-site is via YouTube. There may be other ways, but I've yet to see it.
In theory you could make a gif from a video and post it that way. That way you're only linking an image. This of course assumes you don't want sound...
