I would suggest a slightly different approach. And I suspect this is what he did the more I look at it.
If you want to get fancier, you can animate the turns procedurally on the object so it randomizes the turns. Additionally, the object you are animating can be a particle system to get more control over the trails that you might want.
This is based partially on the suggestions of Richard Marklew on Blender artists. https://blenderartists.org/t/offset-particle-object-animation/489919/3
