* Several of Theatre/{{Tsukipro}}'s series feature a "School Revolution" episode, where the IdolSinger main characters visit a school to film a variety program, and end up having supernatural adventures, which they then have to hide from the cameras. They always feature a camera on-stage, that the idols interact with, the image from which is projected to the back of the set.

* Third person shooter ''VideoGame/KaneAndLynch2DogDays'' has a weird, not properly explained example. The game's camera emulates a handheld camera from start to end, as if the protagonist's actions are being constantly recorded by a cameraman that follows them around and that even has their camera taken away at one point in the game by a soldier. Yet, this cameraman character is never properly acknowledged, even if they do exist in-universe, to an extent.
