You guys know, when the camera does that beautiful 360 turn during a gun battle, i.e Bad Boys 2 ( haitians house ) and Transformers ( Radio room in Dam ). I think it would be awesome if he uses it during an all-out fight between auto and deceps. That would just be beautiful, 360 degree rockets, bullets, metal flying everywhere, my gosh ! FILM-GALORE !!!

I'm all for the sweeping camera, but hopefully he'll nix the shaky cam. Let the action speak for itself; no need for OH-MY-GOD-A-BATTLE-LETS-SHAKE-THE-CAMERA-TO-REALLY-SPELL-IT-OUT-FOR-PEOPLE-DUMBER-THAN-GUMP!!!

Yeah, We know.. Lol
I think an interesting SkyView angle on a fight would look cool. The sort of angle like when Megatron and Sam are on the roof, that was cool. Seeing robots going at it like that would be sweeeet :D

OH-MY-GOD-A-BATTLE-LETS-SHAKE-THE-CAMERA-TO-REALLY-SPELL-IT-OUT-FOR-PEOPLE-DUMBER-THAN-GUMP!!!hahahaha. Yea, of all Bay's camera moves, this is by FAR the WORST. The crashing of the ships on the asteriod in Armageddon? VOMIT-INDUCING and CONFUSING, FRUSTRATING. AHHHHHHHHHHHH friggin' Bay. It also bugged me in the Bourne Ultimatum, not as bad as Bays camera, but really bad. Bay just doesn't take time to show the geography of the scene, he's just way to into his shaky-cam technique. I LOVE the 360 spins/hero shots, Nic Cage standing up after the Ferrari wreck in Rock, and the trademark Bay Boys standing up shots i'm a sucker for.

Bay needs to mix this up in TF2, If he can do a smooth version of this move in a huge robot battle it would be epic.
Imagine Prime and Megatron [or freakin bludgeon or somethin] on a sunbaked desert leading teams against each other with each pass of the camera they get closer till they duel with one another.

The camera shaking sometimes is necessary. When something blow up or crash and the ground is suposed to shake is the only way to give the audience the feeling that everything shakes. It's a way to get into the action.
I don't want static action scenes where everyone seems to be walking and all seems to happend too slowly.
And Bay doesn't use it so much, only the necessary.

the camera can shake as much as it wants, as long as the fights are long and intense.

The shot that was so silly and I hated, but you had to just laugh was Bay being sooo dramatic in this scene.
It is in the end, the street fight. Theres a young beatiful girl sitting on the street screaming, on top of her is a transformer flying over her and rockets shooting pass in slow motion, all while she is screaming, LOL, I just love how Bay uses his "action" humor.
I think Bay does this so show us what he can do with the camera and how beautiful it looks in the digital world.

in the first transformers movie, the scene where bumblebee goes down the street firing at devastator from the rear of the tow truck should've have been in real sound. you know nothing but truck sounds, blast and explosions. plus with the heavy guitars and drums is nothing but typical in scenes like that. honestly i think its over rated for action movies.

yea i do hate the heavy guitars "pump you up!" parts that could easily be handled by the composer of the scora, ala Zimmer's Rock score, which still gives me goosebumps

Have as many 360 shots as you like Mr Bay, but less of the epilepic camera shaking.
A wide shot wouldn't go amiss once or twice, ala speilberg.
