Pixelate Region

Camera Lens

Put a scene behind real glass: resolution falls off toward the corners, highlights bloom through the optics, colour fringes at the edges — a screencast that reads as filmed rather than rendered.

CRT Screen

Put a scene behind curved glass: the picture bulges out to the corners, an RGB phosphor mask and scanlines ride the curve, bright areas flood the mask, and the tube falls away into darkness at the rim.

Halftone Print

Print a scene onto paper: each colour separates onto its own rotated screen of dots sized by the ink under them, slightly out of register the way a real press runs.

Hologram

Play a scene as a projection: a ghost double shimmers off the image, emission lines structure it, and only what is bright enough carries through the dark volume it hangs in.

Security Cam

Run a scene through a cheap recorder: macroblocks flatten under a starved bitrate, colour resolution collapses to half the luma, blacks crush and shadows crawl with sensor noise.

Underwater Ripple

Hold a scene under moving water: every pixel is read through a layered refraction field that closes on a whole number of cycles, with colour fringing where the water bends hardest.
