Seconds

  In Seconds we see Arthur singing what looks to be a very long list on a very long piece of paper, while the man in charge of the whole operation glares at him like a child who just got away with something dastardly.  From there we go strait into the surgery with lights, gloves, masks, and enough tools to reconstruct Frankenstein.  They are filming these sense with no tripods or stabilizers.  With that they make the camera almost one of the surgical utensils in the operating room.

Since we dont see the actual reconstruction of the mans face we instead are shown many hand drawn pictures of what his face looked like before hand and after as to avoid the actuality of cutting the mans face to pieces on camera.  This is a friendlier Segway into his transformation.  With this almost seamless transformation happening in almost 2 minutes they were rather quick with the operation in general and showed little of what they actually did, mostly just tracking shots used by hand held cameras, along with extreme close ups of scars and surgical instruments  to create the illusion that he was actually cut open. 

The first time we actually see Arthur (now Tony) we are with them as they remove the bandages we are at his perspective as they are congratulating the work of the surgeon.  We then track with Tony as they show him what has happened to him.  When he opens his eyes to this new face he is shocked.  His movements slow and his face tells it all.  With his bandages still on his hands he brings them up to his still scared face and begins to weep and what has just happened while they two men comfort him, he leans forward in disbelief
