Cam is a dual citizen of both Canada and the U.S.A. and currently lives in Toronto.

He is an accomplished, imaginative, multi award winning, creative talent. Cam’s leadership skills have spanned over many animated feature film productions, in many different departments. He is eager and capable to roll up his sleeves, with the soul goal to help produce the best work possible.

He was discovered along with some fellow students, by the legendary Chuck Jones. A life changing experience, the Oscar winner advised the young artist that “if you lead teams and should you eventually become a director, you had better know how to draw.” With that Cam went to the zoo with a sketchbook in hand, as often as he could. He even went to extra life drawing classes on weekends. And it paid off. Cam is known to be a good draftsman and always brings “life” and “appeal” to his work.

Always open to new innovations in animation production, Cam was fortunate to be trained by the industry’s very best. He went from an assistant to James Baxter, senior level 2d animator, to supervising 3d animator, designer, art director, story artist and then Director. This eventually led to Cam filming the world famous “GNOMON” school of Visual FX’s 3d character animation lecture series.

He was honored to be inducted into the prestigious Beijing Film Academy’s “Hall of Masters.” And he is able to collaborate with “A” list talent from Hollywood, or pitch to the heads of the major studios, Cam continues to grow and expand as an artist and leader in the animation industry. Credited as “Cameron Hood,” he has delighted audiences all over the world, in film schools, up on stage and on the big screen.
