Well I'm usually not very good at speaking for others, but I think he's asking how they manage to walk through multiple scenes where everyone is frozen, like in a still picture. Anyway, that's what struck me as particularly interesting about the video. Enlightened now? I'm not very good at enlightening people...:-(

Okay, we must be seeing a different video, because the one I see is pretty straightforward, no effx.
When I click on the link it takes me to a video with an effect that I've never seen done before, at least not in this way. It's pretty cool, and short of black magic or voodoo I can't imagine how it's done.
I think liquid has it right. I, too, have often wondered how.
How do they walk through all those frozen people?
I think I saw a similar scene in one of the CSI shows, Miami, I think.

Liquid,
Could you copy and paste the link you are getting. I think people are getting different videos. The one I see is Pink with John Legend recording a music video. No special effx.
Yep -- I think we're seeing different videos. When I click on the link I see a music video with Pink and John Legend and Herbie Hancock(?) (I'm guessing, based on Musicvid's response). Filmed in a recording studio, nobody frozen in time.
I don't think people are being sarcastic when they ask "how did they do what?". The video we are seeing is like a very straightforward recording studio documentary. No FX, nobody frozen...
(I let it play to the end, then it switched to a Miley Cyrus concert video...)
ah, maybe that's why there's nothing to comment about also......

Okay,
Somebody who is seeing the video that the OP refers to, while you are watching it, copy the link in your browser and paste it here. Maybe this is a keyboard language thing.
Going off the title Tom posted perhaps try this one.
It looks like a bullet time effect to me. Perhaps coupled with some 3D set's or effects like liquid fire and smoke added in post. While I know this is not telling of exactly "how" it was done but I think this is a starting point.
Sorry guys, I assumed that when the video said "copy link to this video".
It would copy the link to this video.....
The above video links are correct. Here it is on youtube as well.
I think this is an amazing video, simple but so cool. I would understand it if it was shot in one room, matrix style, but to meander through a club from outside to inside.
I'm lost as to how they would do this.
actually with closer inspection at the end... I believe everyone is just pretend frozen.
You can see a couple people moving slightly near the end.
Then the smoke and money mid are etc is cgi.
You can see the camera ops shadow at one point when panning by the one wall as well.
