I'd love to see an interview on how this is done because it's possibly a combination of a few techniques. The reflections and distortions are either a sign of projections or good compositing. There are some pretty cool things you can do with projectors. Horse Bazaar has something like 6 projectors matched up to make a 2 wall screen. I have also seen some impressive stuff from custom programs so you can map multiple projectors to objects. Maybe only the guys and girls at mixtape club will ever know.
