Culley Bunker

Founder & Lead Visual Effects Artist, Skulley FX

Culley Bunker is the founder and lead visual effects artist at Santa Monica postproduction studio Skulley FX, where he performs digital clean-up on films, TV programs, music videos, commercials, and more.

After graduating from Full Sail's Digital Media program in 1998, Culley took a post-production internship in Miami before moving out to Hollywood and growing his client list at the Post Group and Base 2 Studios.

He founded his own studio – Skulley FX – shortly after, where he and his team cater to range of filmmaking needs. It started small, but now spans 2,000 square feet, and features two Flame bays, a client area, a loft, and a machine room.

Culley and his prolific team have worked on acclaimed films and television shows such as The Hunger Games: Mockingjay (parts 1 and 2), Westworld, Anomalisa, and Donnie Darko, as well as dozens of hit music videos from artists such as Lady Gaga (the VMA-winning “Bad Romance”), Justin Timberlake, and Big Sean. His commercial credits include brands like Adidas, Hot Wheels, DKNY, and JC Penney.
