In his early teens, Don Culwell was captivated by movies like Star Wars and companies like Industrial Light and Magic. In 1992 he began working small graphics jobs learning the art of CG and at age 16 met Mike Halsey at a mutual client’s office. Within the next few years they joined forces. Quickly taking to 3D, for the next 20+ years Culwell would take part in groundbreaking productions as co-founder of Magnetic Dreams. Culwell’s experience and vast portfolio has a breadth difficult to match. At 21 his 3D art landed on the cover for Post Magazine, and this steady stream of great work continued afterward for Dell, Electronic Arts, Coca Cola, Crayola, Nickelodeon, Marvel, and many more. Notably, Don’s art direction contributed to Taylor Swift’s iconic music video Fifteen, which was nominated for an MTV Music Award for Best Video of the Year. Don currently serves as principal and co-founder at Magnetic Dreams, and, as an expert in animation and effects, leads production and the company from a visionary, artistic, and technical standpoint, all the while maintaining his team before the captain attitude.
