Story of a studio
The begining
It all started in 2017 in Los Angeles when a director named Charles BOURET decided to found Chapiou Studios. The image above is the studio's first logo designed by Charles BOURET.
The logo creation
In 2019, in Los Angeles, our designer Sébastien BOURET added some colors to the logo and animated it.
Trademark registration
In 2021, in Seine-et-Marne, the Chapiou Studios brand was registered. Therefore, we added "LTD" to the logo.
A small step
In 2020, we made our first animated film in stop motion. It was about 'Back to the Future.'
A big step for the studios
In 2022, we created our first film with special effects. There were some scenes with a green screen and a helicopter crash. 'Mission Survie' was an action film about a survivor of a helicopter crash.
The awards
In March 2023, we established the Chapiou Award to guide people on which films to watch based on critics' reviews. There are eight categories: Best Film, Best Special Effects, Best Actor, Best Music, Audience Award, best script, best film event and the Best Film in Studio History.
Our Cameras, Your Stories
In June 2023, some people asked us if we could film events. Since receiving this request, we have decided to capture your events on film.
A merger on the screen
And finally, in July 2023, we collaborated with another studio called 'Cross Arrow Studio.' Cross Arrow Studio is now the animation studio of Chapiou Studios

Studios Services
What types of film projects does your studio prefer to produce?
We really enjoy making sci-fi films because science fiction often offers imaginary worlds, futuristic universes, or alternative realities that allow the viewer to escape from the daily routine and experience extraordinary adventures. We also always like to shoot this type of film because the special effects and the acting are always very challenging to achieve. So, it’s always a challenge.
What are the biggest challenges your studio currently faces in the film industry?
Sound design and music are really important in a film, so we try to improve in this domain. We also work really hard to create the most realistic special effects.
What initiatives does your studio take to minimize its environmental impact during film productions?
We have implemented initiatives to encourage responsible consumption on set by promoting the use of sustainable products and reducing the use of single-use plastic. We are also constantly exploring new eco-friendly technologies and practices to stay at the forefront of innovation in our commitment to the environment.
