How do you do that at 2:00?

looking for overtones, like you would practice on the mouthpiece only, playing with the throat and vocal strings. Imagining the notes I want to get out and making them resonate with the back of my mouth, like a singer would do. Eventually playing with the keys for getting a scale.

What type of bass is that? It's too large for a regular bass clarinet and the neck is off for a contra.

It's a Buffet Crampon going to low C. Professional model. Nothing special about it. Also I'm not that tall... :-D

Just hum any melody while playing; you'll hear what comes out and start working on it... Trying to project as much as possible through the embouchure, without tightening it... thinking about intervals and harmonics.

Just try it, you'll make it some time... no school for that! It's a bit like circular breathing: being able to open the throat (vocal strings) while keeping the mouthpiece round (without tightening it). Enjoy :-D
