The female in the video is large, but not overly so. That's on the large end of average. She also appears to be a bit overweight which adds to her size...
Your boa is very nice. I would wager that the snake in the vid is simply older. Yours still looks fairly young. Do you know how old she is?
And it's important to note that every snake is a bit different. I've seen some very nice, breedable, healthy females at 7-ish feet and some females at nearly 10 feet that are not in any "better" condition than their smaller counterparts. And locality does play into it as well. Colombian female will get pretty big at close to 8ft. Some other locality-specific sub-species are much smaller. Nics, Hogs, CAs and the other insular varieties can be as small as 5ft as adults - even the females. Your girl is pretty dark - it is possible there is some Nicaraguan blood there that is helping to keep her small.
One other thing - are you sure yours is a female?? The males stay smaller...........
