Hello, Amanda. I am preparing a piece to be shown in May and it is a loop on a 16mm projector. Janis Lipzin once mentioned something about motion detectors for loops and I decided to try it. It worked really well. I bought a motion detector without the lamps and connected that to a power strip. I mean I cut the strip's cable and joined the motion detector's cables to the strip. You plug in the strip to the wall and the projector to the strip and after 4 minutes of no movement in the area, the projector stops!! You just need to check which cable goes with which, but if you need help with that we can write off-list.
Cheers,
Jorge L.
