As part of that ' series ' videos by Boeing is the RTO test of 747-800- impressive in a different way
That indeed is Moses Lake (I recognize many of the landmarks - it's a favorite for Boeing flight testing - it's nearby but gets them out of the relatively congested airspace around Puget Sound).
I talked to one of the pilots that flew that demo shortly afterwards - he swears they never got greater than 45 degrees from straight and level despite how it appears in the video (interesting tricks of the camera angles).

BTW Conso - not to be anal, but it's the 747-8, not the 747-800...
