About LIGA 01

LIGA 01 was a German animation, visual effects and motion design studio founded in 2001. Also known as LIGA 01 Computerfilm, it operated from Munich and Hamburg, producing work for advertising, feature films and broadcast media. Its independent studio history ended with its merger into Sehsucht on November 30, 2018, when the continuing operations adopted the Sehsucht brand.

The studio’s creative work combined character animation, photorealistic CGI animals and creatures, complex 3D simulations and broadcast motion graphics. Its production services extended from conceptual and digital strategy consulting through modeling, animation, visual effects supervision, compositing and digital finishing. This combination supported commercial campaigns, entertainment productions and channel identity packages, alongside work involving augmented reality, virtual reality and digital out-of-home formats.

LIGA 01 worked with automotive brands including Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Audi, as well as broadcasters such as ProSiebenSat.1, ARD and the Middle East Broadcasting Center. Documented projects include visual effects for the 2015 feature film Der Nachtmahr, animation for Mercedes-Benz’s Mercedes Auto-Mat, the Zott Bayernthaler commercial and the Red Button TV spot. Its broadcast work included MBC 3 channel identity packages and character idents.

The 2018 merger brought LIGA 01’s production capabilities into a combined animation and design business spanning Hamburg, Berlin and Munich. LIGA 01’s historical portfolio remains distinct from subsequent Sehsucht work: it no longer operates as an independent studio or public-facing brand.
