We talked about your ideas of playing with drawers and side/ top pull outs. Take a look at an old library card draw to see how it has the clips that keep the cards in place. There was a great response to your ideas of playing around with focus more. Think some about tunnel books, and pop up books. Robert Sabuda is a great place to start. 

Be more seamless about how you cut the transparencies. 

Consider playing with more shallow boxes that could function more like portraits. 

Think about other ways of having light in the boxes, weather it be though adding more 'window' type holes with the tissue paper type cover or by putting lights in them. 

investigate pre movie entertainment (such as magic lamp...). 

Have fun working with your Dad this weekend. Keep in mind that bring back spare parts to keep experimenting with.
