So apparently buying a high speed camera wasn't enough, because after two videos with it I decided to build my own, but 5 orders of magnitude faster…
If anybody's curious, the data throughput is a big problem here. I do literally have a camera capable of filming at 1,000,000,000 frames per second, but it's only a 1x1 pixel frame. To assemble a full frame (200 px across) like this one, I record MANY synchronized videos pointed in different directions and tile them together into an image.
