1979 filming locations
A few weeks ago I had found the location where the opening scene for Today was filmed http://forums.netphoria.org/showthread.php?p=4462631 and that was fun, so I started looking for the locations where 1979 was shot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aeETEoNfOg .
It's known that the convenience store is located in the San Fernando Valley at this address 20001 Roscoe Blvd. Winnetka, CA 91306", https://www.google.com/maps/place/20...tka,+CA+91306/ but what's not as well known is that the majority of the video was shot in the Valencia area of Santa Clarita, which is about ten miles north of The Valley. It took me over a week to find the Today opening scene location, but there was a vital clue in the 1979 video that made most of the rest of the video easy to locate, and that this free frame has the house number 27744 , there are only so many houses in the Los Angeles area with that number, it happens to be 27744 Crookshank Dr Santa Clarita, California. I found most of the remaining locations within a mile of that address without too much trouble. _ _ _ **The house where the party happened**... 27750 Crookshank Dr Santa Clarita, California https://www.google.com/maps/@34.4547...7i13312!8i6656 The garage has been replaced since the video was shot, but multiple filming angles confirm that the party was in the house across from 27744. This house is in fact across the street from the angry neighbor D'arcy's house... 27744 Crookshank Dr Santa Clarita, California https://www.google.com/maps/@34.4546...7i13312!8i6656 The Smashing Pumpkins played a "house party" in Studio City in early 2018, and it was claimed that they played at the same house where the 1979 video was filmed.. but it appears to me that this isn't true. It looks like all of the indoor shows happened at this address in Santa Clarita. _ _ _ **The Pool / Toilet Paper House...** 27074 Littlefield Dr Santa Clarita, California https://www.google.com/maps/place/27...4d-118.5459415 It turns out the house that had t.p. thrown over a Willow tree is the same house that has the pool which the kids swam in and threw lawn chairs into. The house has been updated somewhat since the 90's, such as a new garage door, but it's definitely the house. The party house has a new garage door also... I would never have guessed that garage doors have to be replaced so often. The TP house A funny thing is that in this still image you can see some crew and random people standing off to the side who probably aren't supposed to be there Aerial shot _ _ _ **Valencia High School** ... 27859 Dickason Dr Santa Clarita, California Several shots appear to filmed around the high school. Car driving https://www.google.com/maps/@34.4391...7i13312!8i6656 This street has been heavily redone since the video was shot, but various landmarks make the match a certainty. If you freeze frame it it even says 'slow school' on the roadway "Fuck you comfy suburban life" ... 24295 Cabrillo St Santa Clarita, California https://www.google.com/maps/@34.4441...7i13312!8i6656 This location currently has houses, and in the video it's just a dirt hill, but public records confirm the houses there were built in the early 2000's. Based on triangulation of the mountains in the background, this dirt hill is somewhere above, and possibly off to the side of, the high school's play field. There is a tire rolling scene at the beginning of the video , and it's difficult to know where exactly it was filmed, but I suspect it was filmed in the high school's play field, considering it looks a lot like a play field, and two other shots were filmed around that same location. _ _ _ **Driving in the valley...** 18529 Roscoe Blvd Los Angeles, California https://www.google.com/maps/@34.2207...7i16384!8i8192 This is a part where the kids were driving around at random, and most of them I can't find due to a lack of distinct visible landmarks but in one scene I saw 76 station in the reflection on the door of the car, and it turns out that the 76 station is about a mile east of the convenience store on Roscoe Blvd. _ _ _ There are a couple locations I haven't found yet, but they look findable. I suspect they're in the valley, probably near Roscoe Boulevard. at 0:47 in the video at 1:18 in the video Last edited by MonumentsRocks : 10-06-2018 at 03:12 AM. |

In all seriousness, this seems fanatical but also very cool — thanks, I think, for tracking all these down

Monumentsblock are you unemployed?
Who gives a fuck about where they shot the video, you nerd. Get a life or a girl/boyfriend. Maybe you find out billy's favourite toilet paper brand or chamberlin's favourite porn star. Get a life boy, please |

I've thought about it a bit, what makes this weird and the Today location-finding cool, and it's the fact that it's all residential rather than commercial
People live here, dude; you're posting pictures of people's houses |

Lots of currently occupied houses have interesting pasts. I wouldn't condone anyone bothering anyone at those addresses, but for all we know they might even be amused at the thought that their house was once used in a famous music video. They could add that trivia to their listing when they go to sell their house, and maybe even make a little more money on the sale. Last edited by MonumentsRocks : 10-04-2018 at 04:09 PM. |

on the note above, it's possible the statement about being in the same house is true, because the 1979 video was shot twice. apparently d'arcy lost the original tape or something like that, so perhaps the original location was the studio city location. who knows, doesn't really matter. |

I was sure this was Monte until "Based on triangulation of the mountains in the background". Monte would have fucked that up somehow.

"Upon finishing the video shoot, the band flew to New York to perform. However, all tapes of the footage were accidentally left sitting on top of a car, and were lost as the driver departed. The group later flew back to re-shoot the party scene."

With these music videos I thought it would be cool to take selfies in these locations some day, whenever I make it to California. I should have found the Perfect crane location a lot quicker, because I forgot that there was an outtake video, which reveals that it was filmed in a parts yard for crane equipment, and one of the stills says "BRAGG" on the side, you can't really read the word clearly, but if you search for "cranes" in L.A. and look at the search results, and then see "BRAGG", it comes together. The Rocket video was directed by the same people that did 1979 so I figured they have an affinity for the valley area, so I started there. The neighborhood had to be on the side of a mountain, there's a wider shot at 0:49 that is easy to make out from above https://youtu.be/Th-AqMvvBzE?t=49 , an arterial that runs alongside a closed in neighborhood on the side of a hill, probably in the valley. At 2:10 in the Rocket video https://youtu.be/Th-AqMvvBzE?t=130 , around the time they show the kids in a junk yard, a kid is carrying something on a skateboard, I bet that's findable, but it would probably take a lot of searching. |
