After rechecking the video at the 1 second mark after the 747 enters view.
At that instant in time I get a pitch of 43 degrees with a standard deviation of 2 degrees for 5 close snap shots.
The 747 is at 970 ft agl and 4400 ft away from camera (along ground). The 747 is 7800 ft from the T/O threshold (along ground) of the 11819 ft runway length.
If you have doubts please do your own calculations and let me know your numbers.
