Thanks a mill! Sorry if I gave the wrong impression, myself and my friend are the company (souljacker) Sean is producing and I shot a lot of the real world backgrounds. It's being directed by James Stacey and there are quite a few animators involved. There's more info about the techniques involved on the vimeo page:

“'Origin has been produced primarily using Maya and Mental Ray while also relying heavily on it's compositing pipeline. The streets of Dublin have been captured using still photographs. This data was then brought into Maya for 3D shot setup. From this, templates were output and then painted with good old fashioned Photoshop background painting. The templates were then projected back on to the 3D models and environments. The shots were then brought into compositing with a large number of shots composited employing projection Mapping techniques'."
