Oh, and bonus points if you mention something in the video that is specific to the donor like a family member, a recent trip they took, or something else letting the donor know you’re paying attention to them.

This is really important if you know the donor because it shows them you’re paying attention and noticed their donation. Your thank-you letter should touch the reader’s heart, not sound like an academic paper. At the beginning, when you still have the donor’s attention, share your most meaningful story.
