Pretty easy to figure out because there are only two places where La Brea turns sharply at an intersection like it does in the beginning of the video - Wilshire Blvd and Sunset Blvd.
The video starts at the corner of Sunset and La Brea, heading north up La Brea past Lanewood Ave, Hawthorne Ave, Hollywood Blvd, and finally, Yucca St.
In the entire clip, I could find only three(!) buildings that are still standing.

Thanks,
Scott Charles. I'd like to point out/add that in the first frames of the video, in the background you can see the CBS "eye" and a sign for Perry Mason. The buildings there are the old Charlie Chaplin Studios on La Brea and is where Perry Mason was filmed.

I happened to notice, just now, when the video ended there's a link to another video that is traveling up La Brea and ends just as it gets to the Chaplin Studios. They are both labeled Part 1, but the above one should be Part 2.

There's a lot of signage that can be read in this video, but I haven't had time to do it yet. As you can see in the youtube photo that comes up, while traveling up La Brea, at about the 30 second spot, you can see the skeleton of a gasometer, the one that I presume was located near the Goldwyn Studios on Santa Monica Blvd.! You'll see the whole thing if you watch the video.
And since it's the same year, 1965, here's another video:
