I wasn't going to say anything until I'd done something (this time),
but your idea of fast film and fast timed shutters was going to be a
major part of my plan. The other bit was to mount the camera on a
rapidly rotating disk, make some kind of battery operated shutter
mechanism to revolve with the camera, and time shutter operation using
a hall effect device or some such on the periphery of the disk. I
gather you have a few rotary disks around. Would this be feasible?
