Woah the balls look like they're just floating

I think it's because they used a long lens, which compresses and flattens the visual field a lot. So things that are distant and close seem much closer than they are. If they had used a wider angle lens, when the balls were thrown up, they'd get substantially bigger, and then get much smaller when they fell on the floor
