http://vashivisuals.com/alfred-hitchcock-hiding-cuts-rope/ Rope is a film by Alfred Hitchcock that takes place after two men murder one of their friends, trying to commit the 'Perfect Murder'. They hide the body in a chest containing books. They also host a dinner party, in which they invite another friend, the murdered person's parents (although the mother doesn't attend and his aunt comes in her place), and the two's old housemaster, the one who inspired them to commit the murder in the first place. There are multiple points at which the chest could be opens, but they are always interrupted.

Ollie – If there is one trait in your work that is emerging above all others it is ‘lack of effort’. Sorry to put that as the first thing in your feedback but I am disappointed by this (barely an...) OGR. Likewise, I can see the same problem in your title credits submission (I will give you feedback for that later). Unfortunately, you haven’t given me much more to talk about in this feedback, we’ve discussed this idea multiple times, we know it’s a good idea, it has professional/commercial precedent (Trap Door etc), its based upon your own character design project, and it’s something you seem enthusiastic about in conversations. All great except there is no practical progress. Ollie, the ball is firmly on your side of the court in terms what to do next to fulfil the potential of this project – It has a lot of potential too. If you are struggling about what to do then please come and see me and we’ll discuss solutions. If not, all I can add is that this project won’t make itself. It’s time to go to work Ollie and not make lists about working (last page).
