Hello Everyone: Right now ShatterKind is undertaking a Feature Short: "The Call" It's a dramatic Film Noir style featurette that starts with a half animated, half live intro segment that fills in the viewer on a few key plot points. Then joins a group of criminals as they await the transfer of 12 million dollars.

Principal Photography Wrapped!
Shooting is DONE! Congratulations everyone, we have it in the can! Now we move to Post-Production. Groups are working on the compositing for the opening montage, editing the poker and rooftop scenes and today we had a composer visit to consider scoring requirements. So here we go, into the final stretch. Other To Dos include Foley sound, compositing Manhattan into the roof scenes and Final Color Grading. Here we go- into the home stretch!

If you want ideas about the look of the lighting
and the overall style of the piece. I suggest you
look at Richard Michalak's work on the following:
