A doing — except .
- — A rag doll with button eyes and mechanical arms playing a grand piano — except you can see every wire and rig holding it together.
- — A puppet chef with a porcelain face and jointed fingers flipping a perfect omelette — except the green screen and puppeteer hands are fully visible behind it.
- — A tiny clay astronaut floating weightlessly through space — except the fishing line, foam board backdrop, and animators' fingers are all in frame.
