Looks like a lot has changed here. I can’t even see my post about changing the sign on a moving building. lol Anyway, I finished the film I was working on. Ended up not doing the sign thing, but did have to hide a few objects (like mistletoe hanging in the train station), and some of the same basic concepts helped.
Thanks for the help!

It’s a glorified music video, so I don’t think it necessarily has a “main idea.” 
But I suppose this trailer I had made for it hints at one (or two):

It started as the song. And branched out from that. So to me it’s more a collection of motifs than a story per se, despite a linear timeline. Even the orchestral score is mostly variations on riffs and melodies in the song. My background is classical music. And I’m quite fond of Rach’s Paganini Variations. I’d compare this work to that (with humility and reverence of course) more so than to any film. Pulp Fiction is one of my favorites and I’d have a hard time telling you the story or even general theme, even though I get it.
