here's the short version: it's a cloth sim.

i like this guy, but he's gotten way out of his depth in his recent videos on VFX. that "major lazer" / method NY demo concept couldn't have been stolen and the work certainly was not (it can't be). the part that is the art is the simming (FX), the lighting, the rigging, the animation, the mo-cap, and the compositing. it may be conceptually simple, but you're not going to download blender and pump something like that out with a year or 2 of experience.
