Reading the full description of the YouTube video, it was an L1011 belonging to an aviation museum, and they were doing engine runs in preparation for flying the aircraft to a new location.

It would explain why the start was being filmed, the maintenance stands, multiple chocks etc. Probably the first start after a very long idle period, and with inhibiter fluid still in the system.
