I caught Padraig Harrington giving a chipping lesson on the Golf Channel on Sunday. Basically, he recommended keeping the sternum moving forward, in front of the ball to create lots of backspin when chipping around the green. I tried it today and it works very effectively on all types of chip shots. It's the same movement recommended on the Stack & Tilt video.
To this I would only add that to get more backspin (1) open your stance, (2) open the club face so that it remains pointing at your target and (3) swing along your toe line (from outside to inside rather than toward the target).
