Why does this youtube video have such good quality?

[RealJasonBourne]

This parody video from lonely island has way better quality than any other video I've seen on youtube, and better quality than most serious music videos ive seen come out. What camera do you think they used, and are there any other factors that contributed to this look?

I don't see how the quality is that much different from any other pro made 1080p video.

I think I read somewhere that they're shooting these on an Alexa now.

Dude, these aren't amateur schmucks. This is NBC. They kinda know what they're doing. I think that might have something to do with it looking so good.

If I recall correctly, most the Networks have specialist that encode their videos for the web to insure the highest quality encode.
