* During the warthog chase in ''Machinima/RedVsBlue: Reconstruction'', some mud splashes onto the camera. Also during explosion effects, since that what ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' does, and ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' is made using the ''Halo'' engine. Also used if to show something heavy falling, even when the engine wouldn't force them to do so. Such as when Casboose's BerserkButton is pushed in the original series.

* The Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers episode "crime time" has this happen when Mario and Luigi drive a stolen police car straight into Lakitu and his poorly-placed camera. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by the latter right before he gets run over.

--> Black Critic Guy: [[MadnessMantra ROB SCHNEIDER IS THE STAR OF THIS FUCKING FILM!!]]

No, we're not talking about waterboarding cameras, torturing or beating them, or otherwise inflicting abuse to innocent young cameras. This is something a little bit different.

* Unintentionally invoked by melodeath band "In This Moment" during the filming of their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAo3Nefox2w Prayers]] music video, where a camera moving in for a close up broke lead singer Maria Brink's nose (must have been headbanging too hard...). [[OnlyAFleshWound Not to be deterred]], Maria just let them superglue her nose back together and finished the shoot. You will notice that in some of the shots of the final video she has her hair pulled over her face to hide the cut.
