From 'Avatar' to 'Jurassic Park,' 'Beowulf' to 'Jaws,' All Stories Are the Same A ship lands on an alien shore and a young man, desperate to prove himself, is tasked with befriending the inhabitants and extracting their secrets. Enchanted by their way of life, he falls in love with a local girl and starts to distrust his masters. Discovering their man has gone native, they in turn resolve to destroy both him and the native population once and for all. Avatar or Pocahontas? As stories they’re almost identical. Take three different stories: A dangerous monster threatens a community. It’s the story of Jaws, released in 1976. And it’s more familiar than that: It’s The Thing, it’s Jurassic Park, it’s Godzilla, it’s The Blob—all films with real tangible monsters. Our hero stumbles into a brave new world. It’s Alice in Wonderland, but it’s also The Wizard of Oz, Life on Mars, and Gulliver’s Travels. It’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, Morte D’Arthur, Lord of the Rings, and Watership Down.

ILLUSTRATION ART: JACK KIRBY'S FAKE ANATOMY Thousands of years later, art history is still littered with failed attempts at shortcuts on anatomy. Artists have tried concealing their ignorance by using heavy shadows or excessive random lines or a soft focus. They have tried concealing hands in pockets, or cropping pictures to exclude difficult parts, but their weakness shows through. Yet, consider the drawings of Jack Kirby: Kirby invented his own version of anatomy, and while it is often inaccurate, it seems just as persuasive as the genuine anatomy found in Bridgman, Vesalius or Muybridge. Contrast the following study of deltoid, bicep and elbow from George Bridgman's life drawing class... ....with the same body parts in Kirby's drawing: Kirby's muscles don't connect properly-- he confuses the deltoids and the pectorals, his elbow wouldn't function, and his squiggly lines don't describe any known anatomical purpose. Of course, bluffing as often as Kirby did, sometimes his bluffs failed spectacularly:
Relaxation techniques: Breath control helps quell errant stress response The term "fight or flight" is also known as the stress response. It's what the body does as it prepares to confront or avoid danger. When appropriately invoked, the stress response helps us rise to many challenges. Health problems are one result. Breath focus is a common feature of several techniques that evoke the relaxation response. Deep breathing benefits Deep breathing also goes by the names of diaphragmatic breathing, abdominal breathing, belly breathing, and paced respiration. For many of us, deep breathing seems unnatural. Shallow breathing limits the diaphragm's range of motion. Deep abdominal breathing encourages full oxygen exchange — that is, the beneficial trade of incoming oxygen for outgoing carbon dioxide. Practicing breath focus Breath focus helps you concentrate on slow, deep breathing and aids you in disengaging from distracting thoughts and sensations. First steps. Breath focus in practice.

PREMISAS DE CINE | Script Matters. Pensando en guión Publicado por killthecool Graba a fuego esta frase en tu mente: “Si no eres capaz de resumir tu película en una o dos frases, NO TIENES PELÍCULA” Es tal la importancia de la premisa que debes dejarlo todo hasta que no la hayas desarrollado a la perfección. Esto que escribo puede parecer una obviedad, incluso una tontería, pero es el pilar central sobre el que se apoya toda tu historia. Si estás escribiendo un guión y no eres capaz de hablar de él con convicción ni de resumirlo en pocas palabras plantéate dejarlo todo y sentarte frente al papel (o a la pantalla) es escribir un par de líneas que expongan el contenido de tu obra Si aún así no lo consigues, plantéate entonces cambiar de profesión… Un consejo: usa términos contundentes, o, como dice Snyder, usa la “ironía” en tus palabras, pon un poco de emoción teatral, grandilocuencia, peligros infinitos, obstáculos infranqueables… algo que pueda atraer el interés de la persona que te está escuchando.

8 Essential Leadership Communication Skills | HBS Online If you want to be an effective leader, you need to excel in communication. In fact, the success of your business relies on it. According to a report from the Economist Intelligence Unit (pdf), poor communication can lead to low morale, missed performance goals, and even lost sales.

But effective communication impacts more than just the bottom line. For leaders, it’s what enables them to rally their team around a shared vision, empower employees, build trust, and successfully navigate organizational change. Why Is Communication Important in Leadership? A leader is someone who inspires positive, incremental change by empowering those around them to work toward common objectives. Effective communication is vital to gain trust, align efforts in the pursuit of goals, and inspire positive change. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
14 Lies Your Mind Tells You to Prevent Life Changes The mind is a wonderful thing. It’s also a complete liar that constantly tries to convince us not to take actions we know are good for us, and stops many great changes in our lives. Scumbag mind. I’ve had to learn to watch these rationalizations and excuses very carefully, in order to make the changes I’ve made in my life: a healthier diet, regular exercise, meditation, minimalism, writing daily, getting out of debt, quitting smoking, and so on. If I hadn’t learned these excuses, and how to counter them, I would never have stuck to these changes. Let’s expose the cowardly mind’s excuses and rationalizations once and for all. First, the main principle: the mind wants comfort, and is afraid of discomfort and change. OK, with that in mind, let’s go into the excuses: 1. It seems too hard, so we think we can’t stick to the change. 2. Just because someone else can do it, doesn’t mean we can, right? 3. 4. 5. 6. This is also true, but you can learn. 7. 8. 9. Well, true. 10. Yep, me too. 11. 12. 13.
