Look up long exposure photography, this method is used in both photography and in astronomy of the stars and planets.
It's sometimes used to show paths of objects moving for various things on the planet and in the sky, the video you describe seems to only be focusing on the path it took instead of capturing images of the satellite itself (they probably don't have the equipment for it).
Edit: It would be above you in the sky for long enough to get a good image.
https://puu.sh/umDKl/4af1903d91.pngIt looks like that photo was exposed multiple times for 5 - 10 seconds , you can do this if you close the aperture and increase the length of the exposure - so you capture an entire length of time in a single photograph. The video i saw was in real time - not speed up - the iss is suppose to going 34x faster than an airplane and geosynchronous satellites even faster and there have, the idea that you could actual take a still photo of the iss with a telephoto lense is just ridiculous propaganda.
It's also been multiple astronomer's that have seen stars through the moon, not just that one picture.

there are many flat surfaces on our spherical earth

Planular surveyors ask the same question? When will they see the curve?
