Story Structure

I'm in the process of reading Robert McKee's classic guidebook for creative writing, Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting. I've also read some months back another classic on stories, The Hero With a Thousand Faces, by Joseph Cambell. I also recently stumbled on the video clip below. I'd like to look into the 8 steps provided and see how it parallels with McKee's Story and Cambell's Hero, as well as Christopher Booker's Seven Basic Plots.
