This is a music video for the song "Ritalin" by techno band Dancing Pigeons. It depicts two men armed with a flamethrower and a fire extinguisher shooting at each other. Director Tomas Mankovsky wrote about the challenges involved in making the video:
It was difficult to know how this shootout would look like in superslowmo. We did some tests with a gas-flamethrower but the flame was only 2-3 meters and it looked quite bad in slowmo, so the special effects guys had to build a new flamethrower from scratch. They made one with liquid fuel, and that one was much better, firing out 10-15 meter flames. But the first time we saw how the flamethrower and fire extinguisher looked and behaved in slowmo was on the day of the shoot.

Is the guy with the fire extinguisher the weird, staring man from the Nevermind the Buzzcocks line-ups?
