It's apparently not the band who did the video, but the pupils at some
Polish school. For /that/, it seems exceptionally impressive to me.

Compared to the Baseballs video, I think it's pretty lame: Virtually all
you have to choreograph is a bunch of predictable mechanics. That's a
piece of cake (once you have mastered the technological skills) compared
to choreographing some 100 amateur actors, of which maybe 25 or more
have a short "main actor" role.
