If your engine was seized it wouldn't turn at all, rather than cranking really slowly like in the video. If the head gasket were bad, I don't see how it would cause something like this.
I'm going to agree with stealthee on this and say that your problem is electrical and the smoke is probably from melted wires or something like that.
