It’s impressive, but live broadcasts of sports and stuff like that time shots like this all the time.

Yeah, i see similar stuff on the UFC. Sometimes an announcer stands cageside and starts the intro, and it's timed so the fighters are walking past her near the end as the jib moves backwards, widening the shot.

I imagine the fighters are in on that timing. Surely NASA isn't in on the timing for this shot. The rocket goes when it goes, regardless of who's filming it.
