    Great stuff, I saw on Cinephelia, definitely worth posting here.

    At the opposite end of the scale from Sergio Leone is Chaos Cinema, from 2011:

    The Chaos Cinema system requires less precision during production than the classical method of blocking and shooting action. It farms out stunt-and-fight-heavy scenes to second units that are mainly concerned with efficiency and thoroughness and collects as much footage as possible from as many angles as possible, thus letting directors defer a good number of choices until later, when the film is being edited.
