About Confidential Creative
Confidential Creative is a Los Angeles-based creative development agency and production studio whose work spans animation, live-action and documentary production, entertainment marketing, and talent management. Established in July 2018 under the original name Confidential Cartoon Studios, the business expanded its public identity as its offerings grew. Confidential Cartoon Studios continues as its dedicated animation production banner, while Confidential Creative Studios handles live-action and documentary work.
The studio develops content for music, television, streaming, gaming, esports, and commercial advertising. Its production capabilities include traditional and digital 2D animation, character design, visual development, storyboarding, editorial, and hybrid pieces that combine animation with live-action footage. Projects range from short animated loops and stage visuals to music videos, documentary shorts, branded campaigns, and original series concepts.
Animation and storytelling
Music-related work includes the official animated lyric video for Maroon 5’s Memories, Journey’s The Way We Used To Be, and PJ Morton’s Be Like Water, featuring Stevie Wonder and Nas. Its animated documentary work translates entertainment stories into short-form animation, including Chet Porter on Acid, Whethan Gets Busted, and Hardy Breaks a Window for YouTube’s RELEASED series.
The studio’s television and digital portfolio includes Dial P 4 Pranks and Izzy Creates a Cartoon for DreamWorksTV and Peacock Kids. Commercial commissions include animation for FlyQuest and SK Gaming. Alongside commissioned production, it develops original intellectual property, including the animated comedy mini-series Rotten Roommates and Romance Is Dead, and short-form concepts such as The Cocoon and Molly’s Light.
