Exit to the City

The D4 , Music Video – 2001

from the album 6twenty (2001)

This classic video takes a band, then throws them in the back of a moving vehicle as they try to play their song without falling over. Greg Page, a music video veteran ('Verona', 'Stop the Music'), came up with the idea after rain forced the abandonment of his original plans. He argues that "what we ended up with was a piece of magic I've never quite been able to reproduce." Page talks here about filming on the run, and shooting two D4 videos in a single weekend.

I instructed the van driver to take the corners 'as hard as she could', and I told the band 'this might be rough'. It was rough. If you look closely you might see Vaughn fall over and smash his guitar stock into Dion's head.
