In 1980, the music video to David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" became the most expensive ever made, having a production cost of $582,000 (equivalent to $1.83 million in 2020), the first music video to have a production cost of over $500,000.[31] The video was made in solarized color with stark black-and-white scenes and was filmed in different locations, including a padded room and a rocky shore.[32] The video became one of the most iconic ever made at the time, and its complex nature is seen as significant in the evolution of the music video.
