About every 1 yr. and 7 mos. Venus comes around from behind the Sun, after its superior conjunction, and moves in its orbit closer to the Earth with each month. As it does this, Venus gets bigger and brighter and the planet's illumination angle changes. During this time earthlings can witness the telescopic phases of this planet in the early evening sky.

When the moon occults the sun during an eclipse, it can give the sun a crescent shape because the moon and the sun have the same apparent size.
This is not the case when the moon occults the planets, because there's too much difference in apparent size.
Looks like crescent Venus to me, without any help from the moon. See the pictures of crescent Venus I posted earlier in the thread. The main difference in the video is, it's more overexposed, but aside from that it looks pretty similar.
