Thanks guys.

Any tips as far as form goes? I'm pretty tall (6'4") if that matters.

It also looks like more height comes from your lower body, which makes it difficult. You're form looks pretty good, but I'm no amazing expert. The only thing I would say is try to straighten your back out a bit more (your lower back arch is good, I mean move your upper back more over your butt)...this might help push your butt down that last few inches.

Yes a bit high it looks.
Being that tall is a problem but you are taking a wide stance which will help. The problem with that is you need to keep the upper body more vertical, you bent over. Core work would help and more good mornings and stretching the hips and glutes would help.
You getting there, try practicing on going deeper with lighter weights.

work on forcing the chest out and pushing back more with the hips. a bit high but at least you are trying

a cycle of box squats would help you with sitting back more.. you were way high, to be honest..

next time you do a depth check, put the camera in a place where you can actually do one.

this, cant really tell for sure but it looks too high.

Thanks for all the help. I don't mean to sound like a complete noob, but where would I place the camera? Would it be straight on, 45 degrees from the front, or from the side?

An angle like this is pretty standard and easy to tell depth.
