History Main / MediumBlending

* ''VideoGame/TheMissingJJMacfield'' sometimes shows live action footage mixed in with the video game graphics in some of its cutscenes.

* ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge'' makes use of 2D Flash animation in its cutscenes, which also serve as loading screens, just before each level, which tends to come across as a sharp contrast to the actual in-game character designs and first-person cinematics.

* ''Fanfic/OnceUponAStudioVersionTwoPointOh'' is a hypothetical extended cut of Creator/{{Disney}}'s [[WesternAnimation/OnceUponAStudio centennial short]], which blends live action footage seamlessly with hand-drawn and CGI characters. This version, however, shows a longer and more epic climax, coupled with more interaction and banter between the characters.

* Used in the season 2 finale of ''WebVideo/TheMisfortuneOfBeingNed'', after Ned stumbles into [[WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange Orange's]] kitchen.

* ''Fanfic/OnceUponAStudioVersionTwoPointOh'' is a hypothetical extended cut of Creator/{{Disney}}'s centennial short, which blends live action footage seamlessly with hand-drawn and CGI characters. This version, however, shows a longer and more epic climax, coupled with more interaction and banter between the characters.

[[folder:Fan Works]

* Creator{{Disney}}'s centennial short ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAStudio'' is an epic mix of live action footage, hand-drawn animation and CGI, all blended seamlessly together to create the largest gathering of Disney characters to date.

** Several important scenes and flashbacks are animated and/or drawn, including Kuervo's introductory sequence and flashbacks to the past, as well as several of the death scenes.

** In Owen's 1st episode, a brief flashback of his and Tubbo's first and rather violent encounter a few weeks before Day 1 is presented in live-action.

* In Creator/JeanJacquesAnnaud's ''Film/{{The Bear'|1988}}', after the bear cub eats some dubious mushrooms, the ensuing MushroomSamba is a DreamSequence in stop-motion animation.

* In Jean-Jacques Annaud's ''The Bear'', after the bear cub eats some dubious mushrooms, the ensuing MushroomSamba is a DreamSequence in stop-motion animation.

* ''Music/{{Queen}}'s song Innuendo uses multiple media. It has ArtStyleClash with each band mamber rotoscoped in different art style, there's line art, claymation and live action stock footage.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}}'', Disney's first non-Pixar CGI-animated film, actually used CGI for mostly characters and props, and live-action for the backgrounds (though with some CGI objects added).

* ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'' has a scene where characters are watching ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' in a theater. FridgeLogic ensues when you think not only how can a live-action flick be filmed in an animated world, but also what is Harrison Ford doing in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals.

* ''[[LetsPlay/TacoMan Taco-Man Plays a Video Game]]'':

* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'' has the Spot intruding on two alternate dimensions as his powers begin to expand. One is Earth-13122 -- the Franchise/{{Lego}} Spider-Man dimension (done in stop-motion ala ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie''). The second is Earth-688 -- the live-action ''Film/Venom2018'' cinematic universe.

* ''WesternAnimation/OffTheAir'' uses 2D, 3D, and Live-Action, and combines this with ArtStyleClash.

* ''VideoGame/{{InFAMOUS}}'' adopts a comic-book style for its cutscenes. The game also does this in its world building. Finding a TV will show a news anchor for {{USTV}} who recounts every one of your story mode missions, [[UnreliableExpositor only omitting a mention of Cole / Delsin and instead claiming that the problem was solved by the government]].

** The ending of ''[[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time]] shows [[spoiler: Shinji and Mari leaving a train station to Ube, complete with a real life shot of the city.]]

A SuperTrope to RogerRabbitEffect. See also AnimatedCreditsOpening, MediumShiftGag and SuddenVideoGameMoment. Compare TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects, PaintedCGI, IndecisiveMedium and SpritePolygonMix.

* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' uses several different varieties of ArtShift meant to resemble different techniques, but most of them are all still just animated in Flash and don't count. The most notable genuine example of Medium Blending would have to be the puppet segments. Also, the ''Peasant's Quest'' Movie Trailer, Strong Mad's claymation short "Doug the Dino" in the email "the facts", and the music video in "death metal" (with a live-action intro and stop-motion "creeping, rusty meat").

* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' is probably the most famous example of this (hence why the RogerRabbitEffect trope is named as such). The entire plot focuses around living cartoons being [[AnimatedActors filmed in the real world instead of being animated]].

* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'' has the Spot intruding on two alternate dimensions as his powers begin to expand. One is Earth-13122 -- the Franchise/{{Lego}} Spider-Man dimension (done in stop-motion ala ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie''). The second is Earth-688 -- the live-action ''Film/{{Venom}}'' cinematic universe.
