The use of [[Lens Flare|Lens Flares]]s (or perhaps some other stream of light) to hide something from sight. May give the impression that a character's naughty bits are phosphorescent.
 
See also [[Censor Steam]].
Line 9:
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[They Are My Noble Masters]]'': Miyu's bare chest is covered by the bright glow of a light positioned behind her.
* ''[[Saki (Mangamanga)|Saki]]'': in the Hot Springs episode, [[Mahjong]] Club president Hisa delivers her lines with her back to the morning sun as it tops the trees. Between the lens flare at an oh-so-convenient angle and the sun over her shoulder, her only discernible features are on her face.
* ''[[Girls Bravo (Manga)|Girls Bravo]]'': When Kirie steps into an elevator of Fukuyama's design, which doubles as a 'scanning' machine, it was presented in the original network debut as a very, very bright light that obscured anything that might be suggestive.
* As seen on the page picture, ''[[Strike Witches]]'' loves doing this when they don't use [[Censor Steam]]. Even on ''night'' scenes, beams of light will appear out of nowhere. Thankfully DVD releases remove them.
* The "sunlight beams at night" happen on ''[[Asobi Nini Iku Yo (Light Novel)yo!|Asobi Ni Iku Yo]]!'' too, which is not shy of using this on general.
* ''[[Hidan no Aria]]'' uses this to censor... girls in their ''underwear''. Is this show aired at grade schoolers or what?
* ''[[Manyu Hikencho]]'' uses huge white bars to censor bare breasts in its initial broadcast. However, since it's an action-comedy ''about'' huge breasts, this makes many episodes virtually unwatchable until the light- or non-censored versions are released.
* Happens during extremely violent attacks in ''[[Blood- C]]''. Unlike the above examples, nudity is left untouched, oddly enough.
** Oddly enough, Saya hacking up monsters into bloody chunks, is left uncensored. But when it's a human, they break out the censor.
 
== Comic Books ==
* The ''[[Young Justice (Comic Bookcomics)|Young Justice]]'' comic featuring The Mighty Endowed. Her "huge tracts of land" are censored out via this method.
 
== Film ==
Line 27:
== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[NCIS]]'' uses lens flares to cover the genitals of cadavers, instead of the usual sheet that other forensic shows tend to use.
** The the corpses tend to be [[Barbie Doll Anatomy|anatomically incorrect]] anyhow, as sometimes they don't superbright the women's chests, and you can see that they (along with about 80% of the male cadavers) have no nipples.
** In some sixth-season episodes, they've changed methods and gone for a small towel.
** It's particularly notable that the size of the lens flare changes depending on the state of the cadaver, even within a single episode. A male cadaver's chest will be lit normally, while a female cadaver's chest will initially be hidden by lens flare, only to be lit normally once it's been open for autopsy.
* ''[[CSI]]'' has employed conveniently placed standing magnifying glasses that create a lens flare/distorted light effect on bodies.
* ''[[Deal or No Deal]]'' often uses this to hide the contents of cases in previews of upcoming episodes.
* ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' used this in their [[Insane Clown Posse (Music)|Thrilla Killa Klownz]] video "Magical Mysteries," when Ryan Phillippe (as an unnamed Thrilla Killa Klown) grabs his crotch as he raps, "And all you scientists can suck our [[This Trope Is Bleep|*bleep*]]."
