Animal Jam Music Videos

Adira created **Animal Jam Music Videos** after watching some on YouTube and being inspired by them. They were made approximately when Adira was twelve and thirteen, between 2016 and 2017; All of the videos were recorded using Screencast-O-Matic and edited in Windows Movie Maker, and feature Adira's animals, decorated houses, and various locations around the Animal Jam world.

## Videos

### **"Everything is Awesome"**

The first AJVM was to the song "Everything is Awesome" from "The Lego Movie." It was made in the summer of 2016, between July and August. The characters featured are an otter and a deer. The otter says all of the lines the female singers in the song sing, while the deer says all of the lines that are rapped. In the beginning, the otter sings the first fifteen seconds of the song in Jamaa Township, and then alternate between the Lost Temple of Zios, Crystal Sands, four of Adira's dens (Enchanted Hollow, Water Park, Fantasy Castle, and Restaurant), Appondale, the Flag Shop, Captain Melville's Juice Hut, Tierney's Aquarium, and the Sarepia Theater. This is the first AJMV that doesn't feature ending credits.

### "**Gold"**

The second AJMV was to the song "Gold" by "Owl City." The exact date that it was filmed was unknown, but it was perceived to have been filmed in September of 2016. The characters featured are a penguin and a hyena. They both share the lines, and could almost be seen as singing it to each other. The locations of this video are largely in Adira's Fantasy Castle, but also feature clips from Jamaa Township, Crystal Sands, Sarepia Forest and its theater, the Lost Temple of Zios, and the Water Park. This is the second AJMV that doesn't feature ending credits. This AJMV can also be seen as two lesbian characters singing about each other (because of the character of the song, making constant references to love), but this was very unintended, and Adira might've changed the eyes of the penguin to resemble a guy, but that only would've lasted a scene or two.

### **"Candy"**

   Candy was created around October of 2016 and features a lynx and the brand new animal (at the time), the arctic fox. It is the third and final AJMV to not include closing credits. The locations are the Beach House and Jamma Township. The lynx sings the first part of the song while the arctic fox sings the second part, and by the third part, its a mixture of the two.

### **"Discord"**

Discord was made around the same time Candy's was, in the fall of 2016 and is the first AJMV to utilize opening and closing credits and video filters. The cheetah is the animal that's used the most, but one scene features a wolf. The locations of this movie include Jamaa Township, a den with an underground, crystal area that is not in Animal Jam anymore, the Beach House, and the Pillow Room.

### "This is What You Came For"

The last AJMV is based off the song of the same name by Rihanna and Calvin Harris. Unfortunately, it cannot be uploaded to this wiki, and Adira has hidden all her AJMV videos on YouTube, so the video cannot be accessed.

## Trivia

### Author statements

* Adira says "Discord" is her favorite AJMV.
* Adira won't be making any more AJMVs because she's not interested in playing the game again and not willing to spend money on a membership.

### Interesting facts

* Starting at 2:13 at the fast paced scene in Jamaa Township, the avatar Adira used can be barely scene behind an arctic wolf that quickly disappeared and an eagle and a falcon. The character was a raccoon with a big green hat with a dark red rim. The raccoon is light brown with darker brown swirls.
* There was an intended scene cut out that was going to use the location of the Summer Carnival, but that was scrapped because there were too many people there and they were constantly chatting and questioning the character's lyrics.
* The reason that Adira used the penguin was because of the line, "Stand up and take a bow". The penguin in Animal Jam bowed during one of its actions, and so that's why it was used. Adira had no intention to use it in the first place.
* A wolf is used in "Discord" because one of the lyrics in the song is, "I'm howling at the moon."

### Mistakes

* In the "Everything is Awesome" AJMV, at 1:49, there is an abrupt interruption by a white screen with blue words saying, "Greek Antiquities! AJ won't let this word XD". This phrase was probably blocked because it made a reference to a real-life place, Greece. Because of privacy concerns, this was probably censored. Also, there must've been a typo with the last sentence, as Adira probably intended to say, "AJ won't let me use this word XD".
* In the "Gold" AJMV, at 0:31, "Nothing is gonna stop you now." is misspelled in the video as "Nothing is gonna stop you know."
* In "Candy," at various points in the video, the lyrics sing, "Got a hurricane at the back of her throat" while in the video, it says, "*With* a hurricane at the back of her throat."
* In "Discord," at various points in the video, the lyrics read, "Whatever did we do, to make you take our world away" while in the video, it says, "Whatever did we do, to make you take *away* out world."
	+ At 1:12, the cheetah sings, "What a terrible work of art!" instead of "What a *terrifying* work of art!"
