Just to put things in perspective...

The speed of light is approximately one foot per nanosecond (thank Admiral Grace Hopper for that handy relation)

According to the counter in the upper left of the video, the sequence lasts about 30 picoseconds

30 picoseconds = 0.03 nanoseconds

So, in one increment, the light moves about 0.03 feet = 0.36 in = 9.1 mm
So if I was trying to capture 30 picoseconds of light with an opened end wrench my 9mm wrench would be too small and my missing 10mm wrenches would be too large. to put it in another perspective a 9mm projectile should pass safely through a 30-picosecond long pause in a of a stream of light that is assuming the projectile were also slipping sideways at the same relative speed.
