Eric was right everything. I just saw that vid, which looked like a wider than conventional (conventional) deadlift lol. The reason why (the only reason) you should be doing sumo deads every so often is to strengthen your wide parallel squat. When you put your feet out wide enough (very wide), it's going to look almost identical to your squat in the hole. That means getting lower, sitting back, w/ the body more erect than you were.

Additionally, if you're going to make a habit out of sumo's, I'd really recommend buying a cheap pair of Inzer power briefs to save those hips! I have a cheap $20 pair and they're awesome to keep your hips happy for both sumo's and speed squats.
