[Frameworks] Super-8 looping

[Dana Duff]

Looping super-8 isn't so hard without a "looper" (we used to find these 
on eBay, but not so much anymore), if you remember that the film always 
has to have a certain amount of easy tension. You can create a track by 
using metal sewing machine bobbins (which happen to be 8mm) and small 
springs for varying the tension without breakage. You can run it to the 
ceiling or on different stands, or make a board with an up and down 
zig-zag pattern not unlike film processing machines in the lab. I'm sure 
you can find examples online.
Good luck!
