Here, we build what you imagine.
An engineer set up his workshop here, a magician built his illusions in it, an agency has been shooting here for thirty years. And since 2025, when the green gate opens, it opens for you.
They have already shot here:
A run of halls, and the urge to build.
The stages date from 2025, the agency from thirty years earlier, and the workshop was there long before, when nobody imagined anyone would one day come here to shoot. Behind the gate, one hall follows another, the wood workshop, the metal workshop, the stores where the sets sleep, and the studios where they come back to life. An unusual place. The kind you never feel like leaving.

The workshop never closed.
An engineer first wove metal bed bases here. A magician then built his illusions in it, followed by rigs to make performers fly above the stage. Today it is sets that come out of it, with only one hall to cross before they reach the stage. The workshop smells of cut wood, freshly welded metal and paint that is still drying. A cabinetmaker, a welder, painters and a laser cutter, a few metres from the control room. Whatever you have in mind, they know how to build it. Just draw it.
The bespoke studioThe agency has been shooting for thirty years.
The illusions became films. For thirty years, Fantasmagorie has imagined and shot for brands, channels and creators, from the first idea through to the upload, and you have probably seen some without ever knowing who stood behind the camera. Its directors, cinematographers and editors are the ones who now set the light on your stages. The film tells the rest.

The stages opened in 2025.
The first one opened in a hall we emptied for it, with a table, two microphones and cameras. In January, a Paris publisher came to launch a season of interviews with its authors, and the very first episode was shot as a live link with the United States. We were beginners, and we held on. Since then the workshops, the set stores, the agency and the stages have lived under the same roofs, hall after hall, and every week someone walks through the gate with an idea they have not yet told anyone.
All the setsPart engineers, part magicians. Mostly creative.
Something of both remains in the way we work. We build, we adjust, we measure, with the precision of a workshop. Then we dim the lights in the control room, start recording, and we like none of it to show on screen. Then there is only you. And what you came to say.
We do video. No audio-only, no assembly-line shoots, no corporate brochure, but people who create, alongside those who come to create. An intimate podcast is shot next to a TV set, a Christmas set goes up while an American high school comes down, and nobody here finds that strange.
The ambition is simple. That everyone who wants to create should want to be here, and leave feeling they have seen behind the scenes.
What we never let go of.
Every shoot has taught us something, about light, about framing, about colour, and some of those lessons became rules nobody here argues with anymore. Three stayed.
The crew assembles to the measure of the project.
An hour of shooting does not need a whole crew. The video and sound expert, though, stays with you from the first shot to the last, and the rest of the crew comes with your package, no more and no less than your project calls for.
A second pair of eyes before every take.
Checklists, backup gear, and someone checking what the other has just set before the take begins. Every shoot added a line to the list.
We do not promise what we will not deliver.
A project without the budget for its ambition, we say so before pricing it, because a bad surprise always costs more than a frank conversation. You will quickly know whether the studio is the right place, and which way in.
