For curved filmplane, small glued blocks of wood can hold the
"sprung" negative in place. Leave a little slack, or it might be
difficult to get the negative back out. For flat filmplane, the
box-in-box design Lisa described works well with cardboard or
foamcore. If the boxes fit well, the overlap forms a good light
trap.
