ThreeKit uses Hollywood style special effects to disrupt traditional photography.

The company raised the funding from Shasta Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, serial entrepreneur and investor Godard Abel, and former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young.

Houston worked on the CGI and special effects for films including "Titanic" and the "Harry Potter" and "The Avengers" franchises in the past and now serves as the company's CTO.

Abel, who previously cofounded BigMachines and pricing software SteelBrick , also backed the company's seed round.
