Shooting wraps up on what is promising to be the most successful Hollywood Blockbuster Movie of all time.
It had the biggest budget for a movie at that time, the most famous actors and the most skilled production team imaginable.
Preliminary reviews reveal a towering epic of explosive action sequences, raging passions and hard hitting moral plotlines. Then something happened...
As the post-prodution team make the finishing touches to the movie, the director, producer, actors, all the crew and everyone else involved including family members and vague acquaintances sit down to watch the final edit of the movie. By the time the film ended, everyone who had seen it had died.
A fire had raged through the building, killing everyone and destroying every last inch of film, every shred of evidence of this movie.
The movie was no more.
No backups had been made, no videotapes, nothing except a few grainy black and white pictures of the set and actors...
...until...
...Nottingham, England, Europe, 2007...
The audio cassette market is dead. No stocks are left. All companies have ceased production. The only way to get hold of cassettes is to search attics and lofts for old worn out tapes that are in a good enough condition to record onto.
A young singer in a heavy metal band finds a filthy old Maxell C-90 in an old suitcase in his mum's spare bedroom. He loads it into his 4-tracks recorder, plugs his electronic guitar in and prepares to record his new rocking heavy metal song. In his right ear, he hears a scratchy sound, some talking, a scream, some keyboards, a gunshot!...The heavy metal singer is intrigued...
...He takes the tape to his nerd friend, a whizz on computers. The nerd converts the cassette to a digital audio file and sets to work cleaning up the scratchy audio. He normalizes the left and right channels independently, uses some noise reduction (the 8khz range is particularly bad, spectral decay is set to 46%), applies some parametric EQ, soft-knee compression, hard-limiting, a bit of stereo spatialization, then sits back and presses play...
Immediately, the nerd and the heavy metal singer are blown away. What they are hearing is pure adrenaline in audio form! After listening to the tape, the nerd logs onto the information super highways and surfboards the interwebs looking for any information on the thing they just heard.
What he finds out, blows his mind!
That tape, ladies and gentlemen, is the only remaining evidence of the best movie of all time.
That movie, ladies and gentlemen is ULTIMATE THUNDER 2 - THUNDER JUST GOT MORE ULTIMATE.
