Line 16:
In older anime, a fake lens flare combined with a [[Audible Sharpness|sharp sound effect]] ([[Homestar Runner|shaheen!]]) is used during a beauty shot of any appropriately shiny [[Humongous Mecha]], as parodied several times on ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]].''
 
Artists have many debates over the use of lens flares in animation and CGI. Ironically, the artificial element can add a touch of realism (even without [[The Coconut Effect]]) due to the fact that the user is watching the image through a screen.<ref>Unless it's flat. Which an increasing proportion of televisions are.</ref>. Others feel that the lens flare has been overused and doesn't truly add anything to the image, other than distracting from the quality (or lack there of) of the image.

== Live-Action TV ==
* The camera lens filters on ''[[Firefly]]'' were sent back for worse ones that didn't filter out lens flare. To give it that documentary feel.
* ''[[Lost]]'' often used [[Lens Flare]], fueling some [[Epileptic Trees]] theories about "mysterious flashes" turning up in some scenes.
* ''[[Southland]]'' is riddled with them.
* Series 5 and 6 of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' with the [[Matt Smith|Eleventh Doctor]], has a ridiculous amount of lens flare, possibly to show off the new [[High Definition|HD]] format (The series 5 premiere was only the fifth episode of the show broadcast in HD).
