Suitable Shielding Material?

The project I'm currently working on, it seems like I'm going to have to run the power bus near the video input or output - one or the other.

Now I'd be more concerned if I was doing the reverse of running the video signal near the power supply, but still...

So I'm wondering, with space a concern, what's a good material for shielding the wires? Would aluminum foil work?

Thanks.
If you can mod it... I'll find a way to screw it up!

Isn't there a brass sheath that's traditionally used when the shielding needs to go around a wire, rather than as a box or frame around a mechanism? I wouldn't feel good about just using Aluminum foil, partly because you get uneven bunching (and it's a pain to insulate.)

This is the stuff here:
