How did they do this?

Yeah it looks very cool. I have watched it a few times, and most of it looks like straight fish eye, but not all of it. I hate it when I can't figure out how something was shot. Not that that doesn't kill the enjoyment. What a piece of work.
 
I don't think it's a regular fisheye. I think it's something more like a 360 lens, like you put on security cameras.
 
It is a 360 lens. I as well had no idea they even existed. Plus, they are probably incredibly expensive for very limited uses.

Still, it's a very cool effect.
 
you can do it with a simple Xmas silver ball.
The problem is more to "flatten" the picture.
It is easier to stitch video from several cameras as it is usually done (better resolution).
then you can use a sticher for panoramas, provided you convert your movie to a suite of images. PTgui is great for this, you jst need to stitch the first set of pictures, then you can batch all the others using the data from the first set.
a 360deg lens cost around 600$.
