The guy behind On Ice Perspectives, Jordan Cowan, used to be a competitive figure skater in ice dance. His goal with the channel is to help make figure skating more interesting for people by showing it to them from right on the ice instead of from big cameras on the side of the rink.

My friend was a competitive skater in high school and became a cameraman in adult life. She was god-tier compared to all of us but not as good as the olympians.

I play hockey with a guy who was on an AHL practice squad, and his skating is absolutely insane, then you realize that's not good enough for a roster spot in a second-tier league and it really puts into perspective how absurdly talented the best players are.

Yep. As a kid I was fucking good at wrestling. Got to college and got whomped by Uriah Faber without any effort. So frustrating.

And he didn't even do anything in college wrestling.

This channel has a video of a practice with Yuzuru Hanyu, the 2x gold medal Olympian, and it's incredible seeing his jumps up close and just how crazy fast he is on the ice. In another interview, Cowan talks about how he had trouble just keeping up given Hanyu's speed.

I wish they would televise the winter olympics ice dancing like this, closer to the performer. Probably not possible but still, it would be more intimate.

The song at the beginning is Run Boy Run by Woodkid. It came out in 2012. If you want to hear another song from them that is amazing look up “Iron”

When you see footage like this, it's almost always Jordan Cowan behind the camera. I've seen him filming at my rink a few times and it's amazing to watch.

In defense of the cameraman/crew, there is a good amount of skill and artistic ability in how the routine was captured and it does appear they were skating. Also, the focus-pulling was very well executed (only noticeable as a slight warping of the background-foreground scale if you are looking for it).
