Looks similiar to a swallow-tailed moth larva

Ourapteryx sambucaria

Swallow-Tailed Moth

Click the 4th (last picture).

The colours look more like an inch worm.

No matter which it is ... freaky-looking little dude!

Well, glad you have a solution, but it's definitely a weird-looking fellow! I was thinking those protrusions looked like some sort of legs. Neat video, in any case! Lots of odd bugs out there.
