How did they get this effect? Time lapse? low shutter? Someone please help!

i dont think thats how they did it. At least thats not how i would have done it. think about how long of a frame you would have to have to blur the lines like that. Then think about how long the tunnel would have to be to get any decent number of shots for that timelapse. It could have been done with a camera that shoots at variable frame rates like the hvx200, then taking the shutter speed open as long as possible. I know with my hv30 i can drop my shutter speed down to about 8 which starts to produce this effect but not completely.
 
I thought the common method was just to hang it out the window then increase the footage speed in post?
 
random thought: if you shoot 24fps with a 360º shutter, there must be some plug-in that combines, say, every 4 consecutive frames, so you get the equivalent of 6fps with 360º shutter (then discard every other frame and you get 3fps with 180º shutter, if you prefer that)
 
The "correct" way to do it would be to use a camera with variable frame rates & shoot at a slow frame rate.

Most likely, they just sped the footage up in post.
 
I think you're over thinking it.

It can be done as simply as holding down the button and taking continuous shots.

Here's a timelapse I did back in in the day with a Canon Powershot G5 that had the same effect: (at :16-:26)

I literally bolted the camera to my truck, held the shutter release down with a rubber band and drove home:

It was analogous to 4fps. It was auto exposure to deal with the changing light but I used two ND9s to force a slow shutter to get the streaks.
