Synopsis
The video presents Artig in a playful, performance-led setting, combining shots of the Bochum quartet with green-screen imagery and fast-moving travel and concert material. The song's invitation to run toward the edge of town becomes a visual idea of motion and possibility: the band appears as a young group looking outward, while school and live-performance imagery connects the track to its student-band identity and growing audience. Rather than following a conventional storyline, the clip focuses on energy, movement and the excitement of setting off together.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was published online in April 2012, during the period when Artig were expanding from a successful German student-band competition into a broader live career.
- Artig were previously known as Last Exit. Under that name, the Bochum quartet won the 2011 SchoolJam competition, defeating around 1,400 other applicants.
- The clip's production credits identify David Kuschkewitz of DAVEntertainment for the camera work, editing and concept.
- The video's upload tags identify a Canon 5D Mark II and green-screen production as part of the technical setup.
- Artig's SchoolJam victory led to festival appearances and a trip to the United States, including performances connected with German-language schools and the American SchoolJam network.
- "Lauf mit mir" later appeared in Cornelsen's educational publication "Musikbuch 2," giving the song a life beyond the band's own releases and performances.
- The band's profile at the time was unusual in that all of its songs were performed in German, even as Artig built an audience through performances in the United States.
