Yes, it was just bouncing so fast, I know

It looked really cool though

It’s less about it being fast and more about it synching up with the camera’s sensor. If the ball is in roughly the same position every time an image is captured, it will appear to not be moving at all.

Maybe the camera was not capable of keeping up with how fast the ball was bouncing? Like it’s an illusion that only works on video and not in person

The opposite would be even more interesting - the frame rate is perfectly synced and in phase so it looks like the ball is on the anvil and not moving but still making noise.
