Video push against a chain

I want a video to show an animated character (3D), hold a chain in his hand (we'll call him TED, for now), connected a business person (suit & tie, holding a briefcase). The chain is currently pulled tight between the TED and the biz person. TED starts pushing the chain, but the chain just coils to the ground, showing how ineffective pushing against a chain is. TED then picks up the chain, walks a little to the background, and tries again, then walks a little to the foreground, and tries again, all with failure, with the moral of the story being: you cannot push against a chain.
