## Career

Camp started his animation career as a designer for animated series such as *ThunderCats*, *Silverhawks*, *TigerSharks*, and several other series produced by Rankin/Bass. He then worked as a designer on *The Real Ghostbusters* for DiC, and later as a storyboard artist on *Tiny Toon Adventures* for Warner Bros. Television.

Camp was a co-founder of and director for Spümcø, the animation studio that created *The Ren & Stimpy Show*. He played a major role in the studio's creative force until September 21, 1992, when he left to work for Games Animation to continue work on *The Ren and Stimpy Show* series after Spümcø and co-creator John Kricfalusi had been fired. At Games, Camp was promoted to creative director of *The Ren and Stimpy show* and supervised work on the episodes made. After *Ren & Stimpy* ended in 1995, Camp and former *Ren & Stimpy* writer Jim Gomez began developing a new series for Nickelodeon titled *Kid Komet and Galaxy Gal*, which was never picked up for a full series.

In the 2000s, Camp worked as a storyboard artist on animated feature films such as *Looney Tunes: Back in Action* and *Ice Age: The Meltdown*.
