James Cameron: Fight scene

Terminator 2: Judgement day bar fight scene.

Cameron's well known for bringing in the camera close during fight scenes. He follows the characters arm movements, follows closely the subject, and many shots are quick cut, yet smooth and effective. I tried using a similar technique for our fight scene in the second film where Tim knocks out the gun from Joel's hand, and we captured it from all different angles. It wasn't a big scene with too many shots but it was enough to compare my takes with Cameron's.
