That is frickin' brilliant.  I once made a contained loop the right length to 
just run through the projector and across the reels on its own, but it was so 
short it was only a few seconds of footage.

Looked really cool though.

Just ran the loop through a regular 16 projector and had the extended arm of a 
mic stand placed a couple feet behind the projector, perpendicular to it, and 
looped the back part of the loop around that.  Adjust the distance of the stand 
from the projector to effect the tautness.  Made one big loop that went round 
and round.  Took a cue from audio tape looping techniques I've seen at 
experimental music gigs lol.  Just put another object somewhere that can take 
up the slack and voila.

Not the safest bet--the material the mic stand's made out of isn't abrasive but 
also its not designed for celluloid running smoothly over it for hours on end.  
You could end up with some scratches.  But if you really want to do the loop 
and can't acquire a proper looping projector, it works.

Hey Jimmy Schaus,
Could you elaborate on how you set that up?  It sounds like a really useful 
trick!

Thanks!

I used the arm of a mic stand to take up the slack of the loop and just a 
regular 16 projector for an art show once, worked pretty well!

Dear Friends,

A student of mine is looking to show a 16mm film in a Juried show at her school 
in Baltimore, MD.

Can you recommend any professional places that would rent a looper for a 
reasonable price.

​I have a beautiful handmade looper made by Kenny Curwood- but I am not able to 
lend this and wanted to see what other options there are for renting one for a 
couple of weeks.

thanks!
Meg​
