    Wow! How does someone film something like that?

    Sixteen parts patience plus one part talent.

    Yes, lots of patience indeed...
    And a very very nice camera.....


    Think filming something like this takes a long time....look at what the Planet Earth crew went through to film the snow leopard ... http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/planet-earth/videos/elusive-snow-leopard.htm

    They were all actors. Editing and special effects.

    Agreed. It's all editing of separate shots of vermin and predator edited together with some CGI of the actual "chase." A more modern version of the old Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom thing when they'd push the "unsuspecting antelope" out of a truck fifty away from the pack of lions.

    I choose to believe it was a magical time of hidden cameras, expert videography shenanigans, and perhaps Alvin doing a side job.
