Nice instructional. Positioning the tire for each step is key. Understanding the purpose of the rim recess is basic. When I was 16, I used to work at Ardmore Tire (Main Line outside of Philly). I did mostly car and truck tires, but you learn how to manipulate the donuts. If you know what you're doing, and you get lucky with fit, and you lube the shit out of everything, you can often even get tires on without any tools...pretty much just screw 'em on, as long as you have one knee holding the 6 O'clock of the bead in the recess.
