I've done a little computer animation, and it really doesn't take any actual coding if the models and stage accessories are already available for you to manipulate. I imagine like others have said their cinematic team did this with the models that are already in the system. To make a fluid 5 minute video really only takes a couple of days of work if that's what your time is dedicated to.
