Creative Director, World-Builder & AI Production Specialist
Cameron Cloman (known creatively as Cam Murdoch) spent over a decade mastering audience growth (4,670% impression increases for TastyTrade), Hollywood-level creative production (The Refinery Creative, producing AI video for major film studios), cutting-edge AI innovation (creative production for Eliza OS/Eliza Studios, the $20B open-source AI agent ecosystem), and Web3 pioneering (early AI art star, Top Prize Winner in Optimism Foundation's "We Love The Art" competition, Head of Community for major Web3 projects).
Now he's built Surf Noir Studio, a worldbuilding agency that helps visionary creators, indie studios, and forward-thinking brands build immersive transmedia experiences spanning animation, music, games, and interactive media. The proof is in production: Surf Noir World, an 11-minute animated series created in 60-80 hours using hybrid AI workflows, documented transparently in a 27-page dev log. This isn't theory. It's what's possible when you combine Hollywood craft, AI innovation, strategic thinking, and deep artistic integrity.
Cameron's career began in digital marketing and social media management, where he grew audiences by 180-4,670% for brands including TastyTrade (FinTech) and Dream Convention. He learned how to make people care, build communities from scratch, and turn content into conversation.

As an independent artist under the moniker Cam Murdoch, Cameron has released multiple albums including PAISLEY (Deluxe) (2020), SURF NOIR v1: Future Surf Love Sounds (2022), and BIG DIVIDENDS (2025).

Cameron founded Future Surf Radio, an artist accelerator and editorial platform amplifying musical subcultures within the Web3 space.
"As a kid, music and art always became a portal to escape to another realm. Everything he makes is built with that in mind. For the consumer, he asks: 'Where are they coming from and where can I take them next?'"
Every Surf Noir production includes a full dev log documenting hours spent, costs incurred, challenges faced, and solutions found. No smoke and mirrors. Just honest craft.
