On the 130th anniversary of the founding of Banco Sabadell we wanted to pay homage to our city by means of the campaign "Som Sabadell" (We are Sabadell) . This is the flashmob that we arranged as a final culmination with the participation of 100 people from the Vallès Symphony Orchestra, the Lieder, Amics de l'Òpera and Coral Belles Arts choirs.
The high shots look to me to be from the buildings, and there are a lot of people filming (many with phones, yes). It's impossible to know how many were filming this.
and the people on the street were actors?? which was the point, these flashmobs have become interesting outreach (aka public relations) efforts by arts organizations.
Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

Amazing whqt people can do together...
Where are the cameras? There are crane shots but no cranes. There should be camera people showing up in each other's shots.
Maybe it wasn't as spontaneous as all that. It looks as choreographed as this:

But yes, it was arranged by a pr agency.

Sometimes you just close your eyes and enjoy.
"and the people on the street were actors??"
Not saying that, and I doubt that they were.
