Successful Google SERP Video Thumbnail Experiment

So, I have been trying a little experiment. I was wondering if I could figure out how to get a video thumbnail in the Google universal SERPS. What I could could then use a video of my logo to show a logo next to my site's home page listing in Google SERPs? Mission Successful! 

I should mention as well..  100% White-hat.

Although I will be removing this in a few hours, if you search "reelseo" or "reel seo" in Google for my site name, you will see the following result. I only wish I had taken more time to write the Title and Description, as they are awful ;-). Either way, the thumbnail is there.
