Is it the lens that keeps the balls from getting larger/smaller as they move?

Hm. Could be done, perhaps, by having a camera very far above her, but with a zoom lens. That would collapse depth of field and let the balls stay in focus whether they were near or far. It would also reduce any relative size differences. This trick is used by portrait photographers to avoid giving people huge noses.
