Tim,

Your link starts at 5:56 -- it's because of the t=356 in the URL.

The whole video is at: https://youtu.be/zR3Igc3Rhfg

There's an accurate 1,000,000,000:1 scale model of the solar system on the St.Kilda - Port Melbourne foreshore. It coincides nicely that proxima centauri is roughly one lap around the world at that scale, so they put a model of it next to the sun.
