Hey that looks super.
I need to fabricate something like this myself. While this approach can only take a much shorter lenght of film that the 100 foot (or are they even bigger?) loopers sometimes used, those loopers involve an inevitable rubbing of film against film as the film is fed on to the outside and pulled out from the inside of a single wind of film (film wound on the outside at a larger diameter will eventually be pulled out again from the inside at a smaller diameter and will thus have to have slipped against the film it is next to on each side). Your approach doesn't involve this rubbing at all. I like it.
