Why not take the laser pointer and aim it into the front of the lens (a
couple inches off from center axis) and mount a small mirror in the film
path of the OM-1.  When the shutter opens, the laser will pass through the
lens and reflect off the mirror (instead of film), go back out the lens and
project on the wall next to the laser pointer.  Vibration DURING the
exposure will be seen with the moving dot.

If you wanted to get more elaborate, do this in a darkroom and project the
reflected dot on a sheet of printing paper.  (Will red laser pointers
expose B&W printing paper?).

The greater the distance between the laser pointer and the lens axis will
increase the movement.
