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!
