  I wonder if it is just CGI. Seems too high resolution and frame rate to be feasibly shot with microbolometer sensors. As far as I remember these sensors still use a small physical mechanism to clear their state so they have a very distinct refresh pattern that's entirely absent from the video. And this music video is at least 10 years old. Edit: Looks like it was actually shot on a FLIR SC8200. Very impressive work and a nice read.

It is meant to be used while tethered to a Windows laptop over ethernet, connected to Flir’s proprietary software. The camera has no buttons; instead, the software is used to set it up and record. In essence, in this setup the computer is the brains of the camera, while the camera itself is just a sensor. This obviously wouldn’t work in the context of film production, as we couldn’t keep the computer connected to the camera at all times — especially since Adam planned to shoot the entire thing on a steadicam. We did, though, find an alternate way to use the camera. The camera offers an SDI out that is always outputting signal, and we discovered that if we set up the camera with the computer connected to the software, we could unplug the ethernet cable and the settings would stick. We used a Sound Devices PIX 240 ProRes recorder to capture the signal and shot to that.
