It's important to note the colour of the sky and the colour changes that occur in the original video. Before sunrise there is an atmospheric phenomenon known as "the belt of venus", look it up on wikipedia. Light from the sun causes a sudden change in colour from a pale indigo to an orangeish hue. 100 percent of visible sunrises have a visible belt of venus. In the video there is no indication of a belt of venus descending or even beginning to appear. This means that even at the end of the video the sun is still several degrees (usually 5-10 or more degrees) below the horizon showing that this eclipse is not a true selenelion. To prove that it is possible to witness this stage of a lunar eclipse at this time of day in the established model, let's determined how long before sunrise it is. The belt of Venus usually becomes visible about 20-30 minutes before sunrise so the end of the video is at least 20-30 minutes prior to sunrise. Additionally judging by the contacts (ie stages) of the eclipse the video started at least an hour or more before sunrise. This puts the moon easily within a window to view it entering the penumbra even without considering refraction.
