Enjoy.

I also posted it in the off topic forum, but it feels appropriate here.

Nice link.
Good review of some basics we sometimes forget to focus on.
I also watched JJ Abrams TED talk from the link Andre Stanton's TED talk page.

James Cameron has one too, if you're interested.

The Stanton talk was fantastic. I especially liked his bit about 2 + 2. I've worked writing TV spots for many years (something needs to pay the bills) and he was right on the mark with than insight. Unfortunately, most clients want to jump directly to 4.
