I freeze-framed the tape and identified the camera as an OM-2 (md or N).
It had the older style penteprism and was missing the hotshoe. Since it
had an exposure compensation dial, it was an OM-2 instead of OM-1. I think
it had a winder instead of motordrive. The lens appeared to be a 50/1.4
with black nose. The camera looked way too clean and showed no brassing.
