Obviously you haven't looked at the publicity stills from almost any of
the award winning Disney Nature movies from the 1950s and 60s.

place these new images side by side with some 30 year old shots and
you will see why such old shots aren't publishable any longer. i have
birding books from the late 60's to 70's. amazing for their time,
completely unpublishable today because they don't meet today's
standards for sharpness, let alone content. this guy is an amateur and
there are now thousands of people like him out there producing similar
images. that's the difference that technology makes.

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).
