Screenshot from the movie above has been 'lightened' in MS Movie Maker 5 times so it is going to look odd. The screengrab shows the near instant that any other item appears in the approach - which in this case are the lights on top of the island. Otherwise nothing is seen until a millisecond later the mirror appears 'at the ramp'. I don't believe anyone can fly a visual approach seeing the mirror only 'at the ramp'. Whatever.
Also I note that once the AoA Indexer can be seen during the day approach later (which is far too short a straightaway to be practical) the indexer is fast with once again 'at the ramp' getting to on speed being below the glideslope. My guess is that this chap did a visual 'spot the deck' approach. Whatever.
I'm not really criticising anything but trying to see how the movie was made. It is effective - especially the night approach. WOW!
Heart Thumping stuff indeed.
