Brian May’s London Stereoscopic Company & Unanico Group unleash a unique 3D short film, One Night In Hell, with a soundtrack composed by Brian May
From international award-winning animation studio and production company Unanico Group, and visionary rock musician Brian May, a 3D phenomenon of 1860s Paris is unleashed on the 21st century. In association with The London Stereoscopic Company, One Night in Hell is a devilish and spectacular animation short that tells the story of one skeleton’s journey into a stereoscopic Hell.
Using an innovative combination of CGI, 2D and stop motion animation, the film brings to life, for the first time, the Diableries stereo cards that have fascinated devotees for over 150 years and inspired the earliest film-makers, including Georges Méliès. Adapted from the book, “Diableries: Stereoscopic Adventures in Hell” by Brian May, Denis Pellerin and Paula Fleming, the film is a satanic 6 minutes and 66 seconds long, styled after the traditional Diableries stereo cards from 19th century France. One Night in Hell is directed by Jason Jameson and James Hall and the soundtrack features new music specially composed by Brian May. The film’s sound has been mixed in state-of-the-art Dolby Atmos sound providing the utmost clarity, richness and detail in selected cinemas.
“My dream has been to bring these wonders of the 19th century into the present day, in a form in which they could be enjoyed by a new audience. When Paul and his team first showed me a 30 second demo of their idea of animation, and for the first time, one of the skeletons came to life and banged a drum, I thought, here we have a very significant piece of magic which will engage a new generation in the 21st century. This has never been done before.” Brian May
“It has been an incredible pleasure working with Brian May on “One Night in Hell”. A skilled team of 3D and 2D animators, graphic artists and sound designers in our London studio have done an amazing job bringing the Diableries characters to life, and Brian’s score really shines.” Paul Laikin, Producer at Unanico

One Night in Hell Soundtrack
The brilliant soundtrack of One Night in Hell features music arranged and produced by Brian May and recorded with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra in Prague.
