It's completely technology dependant now.

Is a pretty technology dependant set of pictures. I doubt if a manual
focus, manual exposure, manual film advance camera would be capable of
getting this series.
Manual film advance would be difficult, but sequences like this were
regularly taken with manually focused, manual exposure movie cameras for
about 75 years. It's amazing how quickly skills are forgotten, let alone
lost. The fact that this was done with a still camera is just about amazing.
(But I though that the first time I saw it).
If I can read EXIF at all (probably not :-), this was taken with
manual exposure. Unfortunately the distance data are not available.
