At first I thought these were small, thin nematodes, but based on their size and numbers I think it's more likely that these are filamentous bacteria.
Is this filamentous bacteria?

Hello, macro mo, yes these are bacteria, Forget about video captures and try and use your higher magnification/higher NA objectives...40X, 60X, 'bite the bullet' and use your oil-immersion 100X objective on these neighbors of ours.

Re: Is this filamentous bacteria?
Thanks for the comment. Part of the video used a 40x. Next time I see this I'll go for my 40x oil and switch my sensor crop to 1.5x. For now that's as large as I'm capable of going.
