It's worth reading the text attached to the video. If I'm understanding it correctly, it looks improbably neat because they totally cheat -- they're starting with the nice brief image they want to show, and then run the physics backwards to get a starting point that produces that. It's a lovely proof of concept of what you can do when you completely control the world...
