funny...i had completely the opposite response from an email acquaintance of mine.  when he watched the videos, his response included:

"This is not a strong colony."

and

"The amount of smoke seemed perfectly normal to me."

and

"just because there are five deeps there, doesn't mean its a strong colony, the hive was way over-supered. Anybody can stack a bunch of boxes on top of a nine frame colony."

and

"a few shots of good colonies are at my web site."...when in fact, the shots from his website didn't show more than 2 frames of brood, and it was unclear what season they were taken in.

i'm curious why your acquaintance and mine saw such different things?  any insights?
