Yup!

If you watch the Red Giant TV interview with John Knoll, he describes how he built a rig to film real lens flares (might have been for the Star Wars prequels- can't remember).

Basically he got a box lined with black velvet, added a single LED, and built a motion control rig to move the box from a computer interface, then pointed a camera with a particularly flarey lens at the box.

It sounds like he could keyframe the flares in the same way you would with software like Optical Flares or KLF, but he was actually controlling a rig that created the flare in real life!

Interesting that he didn't use his own software, but hats off anyway for being a genius.
