Anyone seen this musicvideo? I couldn't find it on You Tube, so I can't provide a link. However, I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me how they made this musicvideo, how did they do it with the camera. I haven't seen anything like this before, and since I'm interested in movies(of course) and a hobby cinematographer   I would appreciate if someone could tell me how this video was made.

My best guesses: Possibly a jib arm on a dolly track. Or possibly a composition done in After Effects, or similar program.

I think they used multiple cameras and they used a computer to render all the frames between them in post production.

Very easy... they setup multiple cameras along arcs that describe the paths of motion and the performers do 1 or various takes.
In post production they select frames from the cameras they need in order to produce a motion.
For instance, for a motion center->up, they select frame one from the center camera, frame 2 from the camera slightly above, etc, etc... if they all have the same performance captured the illusion is that the camera did the motion, however the cameras were still. It's kind of a reverse stop-motion...
For the shots were they capture the front it's justa  matter of using a diferent performace take where no cameras are setup in front of them.
The effect could be more fluid but I guess it depends on the budget. I remember a cool effect similar to this one in a U2 video where the camera  would circle Bono while singing...that was done with a single camera on a rotating arm...

Not so easy to say how they did it. When I first saw this video, I was thinking that it would be something similar that they used in The Matrix, same as DavidTJorge described here. Today this kind of setup propably is cheaper than the first time they used it But again, we aren't supposed to know how
