Stick plate test video

Hello, I was just watching the stick plate test prep video. I'm teaching myself stick, so I don't really know crap, but...
I've heard that one pulls the rod from in front of the puddle so the arc force pushes the slag out of the puddle. Now, I'm sure things change when you go vertical: is this one of those things? It was a little hard to be sure, but it looked like the angle was more pushing than pulling. I've never even tried vertical, I still suck at horizontal, but I'm just curious. I wasn't sure if maybe Jody was holding a sub-optimal angle to let the camera see the weld or something. Thanks!
