I can see why you’re a very effective and much admired instructor, Stan, judging by the excellence of your aiming and delivery stroke.
I like your stroke quite a bit -- not dissimilar to Mike Sigel’s, except for your occasional lightning-fast backstroke on power shots (none of which you missed, I should add).
The especially long *aiming* you do with your tip near the CB -- and with intense concentration -- reminds me very much of Grady’s (RIP) and is a great example for any player to emulate to strengthen his/her game.
I think your run would have continued well past the 105 mark had the 8-ball at 00: 59: 55 not limited what you could do with the CB. It looked like you were playing with a Russo bridge and (if true) I wondered why you didn’t connect up the second Russo element on a second cue and proceed that way (after you noticed that cue elevation was going to be problematic).
If the bridge head wasn’t a Russo “double-connective” style, and you’re obviously going to continue trying for similar -- very personally satisfying -- long 14.1 runs, you might consider crafting something like the *one-piece* double bridge I made a while back (or having a nearby woodworking friend fabricate it for you).
The homemade one-piece one (link below) has kept more than a few runs easily alive for me whenever these, normally concentration-breaking, extreme elevation situations arise. Here’s a photo and explanation I once posted about one way to make one for yourself and keep on hand for long 14.1 sessions (or matches):

The design could be easily varied to suit whatever materials, tools, and crafting skills (or handy neighbors) are available to you.
Btw, what kind of obviously terrific camcorder was set up to capture your run?
