That's actually not a video. It was created with the canvas element along with some advanced Javascript code. WebGl technology makes the 3D render very nicely in the browser. If you just want to have a video play on the background, Here's a nice tutorial: http://demosthenes.info/blog/777/Create-Fullscreen-HTML5-Page-Background-Video
