I apologize for the delay in responding, and thank you for posting. Bird's-eye POV shots like that were usually done from a helicopter, a crane, or a camera on a cable rig, and sometimes with miniatures. Today a small drone can do it easily, though you'll need to follow local drone rules. Watch for the direction of light and movement speed so it feels like flight rather than a camera move.
