Similar to Art Shift, but instead of styles blending it's the blending of animation/filming techniques used to tell a story. This can come in a lot of flavors like live-action in cartoons, animated segment, or animation warping. This is the exact opposite of how traditional special effects are used. Instead of supplementing a medium with material of a different source that is meant to blend in, this is meant to stand out. Proper examples of Medium Blending make it blatantly obvious it is different, and it sticks out on purpose. This can happen with a dose of Medium Awareness sometimes, as well.
