- For the IDW comics character, see Video (comics).
Vivien Montgomery, better known by her artistic name, Video, is a young but talented filmmaker who produces music videos for Jem and The Holograms. She is Clash's cousin.
She was voiced by Noelle North.
History[]
Vivien is a young video director friend of Jem and The Holograms. She works herself very hard, which is how she got into her enviable position as one of the hottest video stars around. Video's main nemesis is her younger cousin Clash, who is constantly trying to destroy anything and everything Video does. She gets along well with Jem and The Holograms, and they collaborate together quite a bit. She has never worked (and apparently, neither does she want to) for The Misfits.
It was revealed in the episode Father's Day that she and Clash were actually born on the same day but on a different year, making Video at least two years older than Clash. It's unknown her actual age, though. She was also the one who first introduced The Holograms to Danse, a professional dancer/choreographer who worked as a volunteer for Haven House and who would become another friend and ally for The Holograms.
Appearance[]
Video wears pink heels, yellow pants with silver lines and a thin purple jacket. She has blond hair fashioned in a pony tail. In the Starbright episodes she just had a typical pony tail but she had it permed after that. She also used some white hair dye and she has a belt with an unknown object attached to it. One of her distinctive characteristics is that she's usually seen holding a video camera wherever she goes.
She also can be seen wearing different outfits throughout the series.
Personality[]
She tends to be a calm and enthusiast person, although her relation to her cousin Clash causes her some distress and anger. It seems that she's good friends with The Holograms, usually because she's kind to others and helpful when they need it. For example, in the episode Aztec Enchantment, she thought that she could make a video of the village in Mexico after the earthquake, so people could send food and clothes to the village.
On the other hand, she can get very frustrated at Clash whenever she causes trouble, which is mostly directed toward her or The Holograms. For instance, Clash kept on ruining her attempts for directing a video for the Starbright movie and she also broke Video's new camera in the episode Father's Day.

Trivia[]
- Video and Clash were introduced in the same episode of the series, Starbright (Part 1): Falling Star.
- In the episode Father's Day, it is told that Video is two years older than Clash.
- Video is unaware of Jem's true identity.
- In one of Hasbro's Jem doll commercials, Video is addressed as a new Hologram, even though in the shows she's not. Ironically, Clash is introduced as a new Misfit when she's not as well.
- She made a final appearance in Riot's Hope, a day before the final episode of Jem.
- She appeared only for a short story in an issue, along with a thoroughly redesigned Graphix, in the Jem comics published by IDW. Interestingly, she's not close friends with The Holograms and is now the one who messes with Clash, thus turning around the roles of villain and victim they used to have in the cartoon.
