Oh - no you are right on the money (and totally channeling the SV source without viewing a worthy skill)!

I do want to talk about Showing and Not Telling in general though -- how to get a point across without relying on a audience's knowledge of context clues (and I think you once had that very wonderful analogy of choosing between someone leaving a rose on a pillow or two characters in an intense scene and what would work better in a vid). So while talking heads are boring - reaction shots are not. Demonstrating a character's quest by showing the byproducts of the quest is another great point.
