George Lucas Tells Filmmakers to Not Forget Basics

In his speech at USC, Lucas said:

“ Don’t forget the basics. Don’t get enamored with new technology, because it’s not new. Just the medium we’re working in is new, but that doesn’t change anything. The art of what we do is exactly the same. It’s beyond technology. It’s the art of movies.”

Too bad he didn't take his own advice when he filmed that last 'Star Wars' movies.

Seriously. He even broke the rules of basic storytelling and the hero's journey.
