Surely the mechanisms in the camera would have to move at that speed as well to capture light in motion?

Something tells me that's not the case.

What the hell are you talking about? It's just a camera taking photos a trillion times per second.

But one major question: This would imply that their method overcomes the speed of light, therefore approaching or possibly even equaling the speed of light in which special relativity would explain that it is nearly impossible to accomplish. He mentions in the video that they used terabytes of information to basically piece that video together, I'm wondering what they meant by that.

It took terabytes of information, because it took literally TRILLIONS of photos to put the video together.

Sounded like they sent millions of lights and it was not just at the moment. So it could be frames taken over a lot of time tbh.
