Film loop

This was certainly a fun experiment. We started out being modest and only adding a few feet with each round and then toward the later rounds we became more ambitious and thus our name was born, the Ambitious Chinchillas. We had a vear disaster in one of the early rounds when our loop began to tear and when time was called it was being held together by about the width of a sprocket hole. Once it was repaired we added a very large length to our loop. The loops were working well when we were using the clips and belts but as soon as we had to take more drastic measures such as running the film through the metal thigns on the top of the dry erase boards things took a turn for the worse. The film began getting stuck in some places and was putting too much tension on the loop. While we had our full team this was not a problem but as more and more chinchillas fell victim to Evil Andre's chinchilla genocide we could not make up the slack (literally). And thus was the end of these Ambitious Chinchillas, the loop got too tight and broke, shattering our hopes and dreams.
