Step 1: Attach a camera to a booster rocket
Step 2: Turn it on just before separation
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!

I'm very impressed that the other rocket stays in shot so much. And you see it splash down right at the end. I can only assume they have several cameras and this is edited highlights of the best shots. Cool though, the sound was a nice touch also.

That made me dizzy as f*ck. Must go lie down now.

And you can see the plume from the launch on the horizon as the SRB descends. Pretty cool.
