But rather than shoot on a dusty practical movie set, the team saw an opportunity to explore the hot topic of AI as a creative production solution and leaned on generative AI tools to conjure sweeping saloon scenes, standoffs, and gun-toting characters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI gave us scope we couldn\u2019t afford otherwise,\u201d says Renshaw. \u201cFrom location and wardrobe to action sequences, it allowed us to go bigger than our budget would ever allow \u2013\u00a0 or as Col calls it, \u2018making a $3M music video for a tiny fraction\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the tech-forward approach, the tone of the video is pure classic Western: dusty, dramatic and unashamedly fun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJames loved it from the moment he saw the early renders,\u201d Renshaw shares. \u201cHe trusted the process. That\u2019s what made this work\u2026 we were all in on the idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project mixed multiple AI tools and custom workflows, with Renshaw experimenting relentlessly along the way: \u201cSome tools worked for days, then died. Others were magic on minute one. Every shot was a roll of the dice. But that\u2019s the fun part, that creative chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"wrap-images\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\t\t    <\/div>\n<div class=\"wrap-copy\">\n<p>And if you\u2019re curious about the future of AI filmmaking?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusic videos are the perfect playground for AI,\u201d says Renshaw. \u201cYou can pivot and improvise. More than anything, you can just have fun with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turns out you can teach an old cowboy new tricks. James Reyne\u2019s Spaghetti Western adventure is proof that good ideas, great music, and a dash of machine magic can take you further than any horse ever could.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Taxi Film Production visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.taxifilm.tv\">www.taxifilm.tv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check out Col\u2019s latest director reel at <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.colinrenshaw.com\">www.colinrenshaw.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Writer\/Director\/AI: Colin Renshaw @canyonmanofficial<\/em><br \/><em>Production Company: Taxi Film Production @taxi_film<\/em><br \/><em>Senior Producer: Jill McMahon<\/em><br \/><em>Live Action DOP: Gerard Lambkin<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Artist: James Reyne<\/em><br \/><em>Artist Management: Scot Crawford<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bestadsontv.us1.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=ed15a80d7bf550af3872a36b1&amp;id=fbbdec6d80\">Register for FREE HERE<\/a> and receive the Campaign Brief Daily Bulletin and\/or the global Best Ads Best of the Week Bulletin<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>#More Creative News\u00a0\u00a0 #No paywalls\u00a0\u00a0 #No annual membership fees<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source campaignbrief.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 12 2025, 10:18 am | BY Ricki Green | No Comments Australian rock icon James Reyne has released a brand new music video for his single \u201cGoing Back to Nashville\u201d \u2013 and it\u2019s a Spaghetti Western shootout like no other. \u00a0 Produced by Taxi Film Production and directed by Colin Renshaw (Co-Founder of Alt.vfx), [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2150069,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25179],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2150068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/AI-Meets-Spaghetti-Western-in-new-music-video-for-James.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2150068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2150068"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2150068\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2150070,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2150068\/revisions\/2150070"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2150069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2150068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2150068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2150068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
