If you look at flap closely, you can determine that, he did follow standard
short field takeoff technique. Not like 40 degree flaps down. Also, based on
height distance between people and aircraft, I think he got out of ground
effect.

during take-off, he added a bunch of flaps and it looks, to me, like he
never could get out of ground effect and wouldn't (couldn't - trees?)
lower the nose for speed.
