About Suedlich-t

Suedlich-t is a German-Swiss visual effects, animation and creative post-production studio with a presence in Munich and Zurich. Its work centres on moving-image advertising, combining creative development with production support, computer-generated imagery and commercial finishing. The business has operated since the early 2000s, developing from a specialist 3D boutique into a broader creative content production studio.

The studio supports projects from concept and ideation through to final delivery. Its production capabilities include on-set VFX supervision, character and product animation, modelling, rigging, grooming and full-CGI imagery. For commercial campaigns, it creates product visualisations, packshots, digital environments and simulated materials, including fluids, particles and deformable objects. These disciplines support both photorealistic product work and more stylised animated content.

Post-production and delivery

Suedlich-t combines digital compositing, matte painting, image cleanup and online retouching with editorial, conforming and colour grading. Its finishing services cover look development, master grading, remote grading sessions, upscaling and delivery mastering. Motion design adds animated typography, title sequences and infographics, while audio post-production coordination and voiceover integration support the completion of campaign assets.

Multi-market adaptation is a substantial part of its offering. The studio develops versions of commercial material for different territories, languages, packaging and presentation formats. Label replacement, localised product imagery and changes to aspect ratio allow campaign assets to be adapted for television, cinema, digital platforms, social media and digital out-of-home displays. Its work therefore spans both the creation of original imagery and the preparation of campaign versions for distribution.

The studio serves advertising agencies, production companies and brands across consumer goods, food and beverage, retail, telecommunications, financial services, insurance, automotive and industrial engineering. Its portfolio also extends to tourism and public institutions. Across these markets, its role ranges from specialist visual effects contributions to broader combinations of animation, editing, grading and final commercial delivery.
