Is there any special software needed to process high speed video footage?

My nephew recently finished a history project where he made a scale model of a historic building for a school contest (he won in his school and got honorable mention on the county level), and now that the judging is finished, he wants to blow it up with tannerite. I want to film this with a high speed camera. I found a place where they can be rented. Do I need any special software in order to process the footage?
