NASA video
Join us for a fly-through of the International Space Station. Produced by Harmonic exclusively for NASA TV UHD, the footage was shot in Ultra High Definition (4K) using a fisheye lens for extreme focus and depth of field.

There are a lot of great details contained within this video.
For example, we can tell this was filmed while Yuri Malenchenko, Tim Kopra and Tim Peake were aboard because their Sokol suits are floating in the Pirs module.
Also, when we pass the projection screen in Unity, you can see the crew has several channels to pick from, including NBC (Evening News and "Meet the Press"), NPR ("Wait, Wait" and "Car Talk") and a comic strip ("Hagar the Horrible").
