    There's a video below the first one which explains how it was done - they played around with camera shutter settings etc.
    KVANT lasers was used for this shoot btw

    I saw this video, but can't understand some details.
    It's look like a 3d graphics, because laser can't partially draw in air. If you have fog or dust, you have it in all space.

    It's a camera effect.

    The cameras shutter speed is such that only part of the laser beam actually gets captured per frame with the result that it appears to end in mid air. This was also explained in the video. The reality is, in the room, you see whole projections, it's only through the cameras eye that the lasers appear to float. There's no way to do this in real life, the speed of light is simply too fast.
