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.
