I think that a beginner would do well to look at the position the bass is sitting. It is too high on him and if you played a lot of fingerstyle like that you'd have to have a very bent wrist in the plucking hand, which is asking for pain and hand problems later on...

What techniques is the guy showing?

Bass height is an interesting topic in itself. I've found that slinging your bass onto your left thigh (or the thigh on the side of your fretting hand) ala classical guitar will help you to get a better position for your bass, and with a straight wrist and floating thumb you will help to avoid 'birdwinging' your plucking arm. Also (IMO) it is vital to use a strap whilst doing so.
