Doesn't look like a dead stick. May be the pilot is too late to recover from that spin. Same happens in model aircrafts too.

The smoke pattern suggested at least some sputtering on the power system.  That may have caused the inability to gain enough altitude.

I think the smoke is from the smoke system (for effects) and not the engine exhaust. It seems the pilot is kind of confused at the last moment as he desperately tried to pull up on the stick. Inertia of the airplane finally won against the control surfaces.

If he was messing with the smoke system instead of flying the plane, not sure what to say  ???

I would recommend answering the above question on PM, unless it is a non-combat aircraft ;)

To increase thrust you need more  money! But to reduce weight you  need nothing!
