For The Asphalt’s alternative rock music video “Tonight“, Cyber-Scan Films brought production to the band’s southwestern stomping grounds…Arizona.
The music video involves two rival, modern day gangs mysteriously transported back in time to the old west. Once there, the boys are united by fun, revelry, and danger.
While urban alleyways in Tucson served as backdrop for band performance footage and the gang fight, it was Old Tucson Studios — “Hollywood in the Desert“, that truly helped bring the old west to life.
Created in 1939 for the movie Arizona, the location has since become a premier old west destination for Hollywood.
In the music video, our two modern day gangs are thrust into the old west via an old church. Cyber-Scan’s crew faced the dry heat of the Arizona desert and its rattling inhabitants while filming.
In Old Mescal, Cyber-Scan had to recreate and populate an American frontier town and mount a lavish, saloon burlesque show. Production then moved to the desert wilderness of the Mojave Desert in California for additional band performance footage.
The music video concludes with an exciting shoot-out and brawl between our modern day gangs and an unexpected trio of femme fatale outlaws.
Learning to Forget from the Asphalt, featuring Tonight, is available now on iTunes.
