I searched for “shooting ratio” for documentaries… Google says 60:1, which means that if you were shooting a 1-hour documentary, you would shoot 60 hours of footage. So this is not an unusual amount of footage by today’s standards.
It is unusual to have this much previously unreleased footage, from so long ago.
