It seems that somebody decided that the amazing Coke ad can't be viewed in my country. :-( I probably saw it at the time, but that was 30 years ago and I don't remember now. What did they do?

But basically it looks like someone captured various points of a scene and is showing them all at once.

Nagi Noda was the creator if that helps you track it down.

requiring hundreds of people to stand very still

My thought was that it was some sort of time-lapse (or possibly bullet-time, though it probably didn't need 100 cameras).

I suppose that the final scene would be easier with lots of actors.
