That camera angle put the trim wheel in evidence but this is not something a pilot easily catches when attention is on the flight instruments and/or outside.
To think that the pilots on AF447 should have seen that wheel moving under the conditions is not realistic.
More than anything that wheel should not have turned at all under STALL WARNING.
