If my science and maths lessons had entirely consisted of videos like this I would have liked school a lot more. Even with still photos I still don't know how they did it - they move by hovering over the ground so much, there had to have been a huge trial and error aspect to it, photographing them hopping and checking to see if they'd captured it at the right point in mid-air! (Unless there is some more sophisticated possibility I'm not thinking of because I am NOT a photographer.)
The only thing I can guess about the hopping bit is they might have set up the camera to take several photos in succession - my camera has a setting where it'll keep snapping photos as long as you hold the shutter release button down. That way they'd just have to hold the button down as they hopped and pick the one that most closely matched the previously chosen frame, provided it shot frames fast enough - if there were much delay between the shots, they'd have to do it several times. (There may be an even more simple explanation that I'm just not seeing, though, and it doesn't explain why the focus is so good in all of them!)
Eats up disk space like no one's business, though!
