I just cast over my left shoulder as if I had the rod in my left hand :)

I do too sometimes Sandy but laying the line out like the guy is doing helps with the drift.  You can cast around obstacles with these reach casts too. Useful if a fish is lying on the other side of a rock

I watched that with the sound off. It looked like a lot of normal casting to me?

No point. A cast is just a means of getting the fly to where you want it in the most efficient way possible, with obstacles and the wind direction/strength  being the variables.
Anything goes.
Just about everyone I ghillie for on Garynahine (it meanders a lot in the fishy bit) needs to be told that and shown that there is more than one way to throw out a fly line.
Some get it, a lot do not!
