0:00:00 - 0:04:46 - Intro

0:14:05 - 0:19:35 - Takeaway #2 - Consider what the members are going to feel/think/say/how they're going to respond, every step of the way. A conversation about costuming
0:19:36 - 0:24:38 - Takeaway #3 - There's no ideal judging panel for any single group
0:24:39 - 0:31:47 - Takeaway #4 - Variety across captions and sub-captions is healthy
0:31:48 - 0:37:25 - Takeaway #5 - "Effect" isn't entertainment
0:37:26 - 0:40:20 - Takeaway #6 - Stress the craft (according to your instincts), not the outcomes
0:40:21 - 0:44:28 - Takeaway #7 - My tastes are not your tastes
0:44:29 - 0:47:00 - Takeaway #8 - Focus internally
