I didn't watch the video but I used to do this with a Mamiya RB67. I made a mask from black card, and a couple of little spacers to hold the film canister in the right place. It worked pretty well. I had to open the back and rewind the film manually in a dark-bag. My film scanner is able to scan the whole strip at full resolution.
The beauty of the RB67 was the interchangeable backs so I could easily switch between 6x7 vs panorama. I thought about trying it with the Pentax 6x7 but decided it was easier to just put a bit of mylar in the finder with some guide-lines drawn on, and crop it later.
