I could be wrong, but this seems like they are using an IR camera, then inverting the images once they are taken. If they had a specific type of plastic, it is unlikely they would need to produce the multitude of objects they did. Why on earth would they bother with some of those?

If it was as simple as that, couldn't they just process the live IR feed through a negative/inversion filter to achieve what they are doing?

No. All cameras have a IR filter over the sensor. You would need to remove that first which specialists on the web can do.
