It's Over, Isn't It? (final animation & storyboard side-by-side) 

HELP 777 LIKES AND NO COMMENTS?? also, ik this was made like 7 years ago but that is very true, specially in this part: 1:25

You can see it 😂

You’re absolutely right!! I know old comment, but I gotta come in 8 years later to agree haha. There’s a lot of points in the storyboard where you can see a softer, more solemn expression on Pearl. But in the final version, she’s more crying out as she sings. Its clear that the song’s original intention was just going to be a calmer, sad song, but Deedee put SO much agony into it and more power into the singing than they anticipated, that the animation team changed the animations to fit. You can see this starting at 1:18, where Pearl’s expression in the storyboard looks more calm than the final product. Then again at 1:26, where the storyboard’s expression differs greatly from the final product, and the animation with her hand and her head movement was changed to be more dramatic as well. I feel like this is where Deedee started taking the song to more of a power ballad than the team originally intended, and its SO GOOD. You can also see a more calm expression in the storyboard at 1:45-1:48, showing they definitely did not plan for Deedee to just knock it out of the park like she did. Anyways 10/10 comment and Deedee’s singing being 10/10 as always!!!

SAME

Right??? 180° takes are super hard to do. I can't even imagine 360°'s!

And she moved at the same time :0 And it had sooooooo many frames

+Northflower OwO I think Mkat did some editing to the animatic to sync it up

actually, it was the same

nobody can't stop cring after this

+JayBlue Dragon 😢😢😂😂

I can't stop what I didn't start ;)

*didn't cry*

No offense, but do other fans of this show cry so much? I can't... I just don't understand ..

it not over the 😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

and nobody's cryyinnng but meeee

+mkatwood pearl why do you do this to me

Friends all over, though I'm trying, to forget about how much I care for you...

+Rubedog m80 that is super sad 😭😭😭😭

I noticed the Rose symbolism but when you point out that Pearl where’s the top hat when talking about her in the past, it made me realised that she put it on because she felt complete back then like how the hat completes her outfit, but when she talks about now, she takes the hat off because she doesn’t feel complete without Rose. Or at least that’s what I picked up

ok when people say this do they mean that they ACTUALLY went thru the whole animation process twice bc of deedee's performance or just that the actual final product was different from the storyboard bc of deedee's performance

@@floccinaucinihilipilificat6749 I think they mean they change that part in the story boards

@@Charlie______________ isn't that what always happens though? don't they draw the storyboards then get the lines recorded then animate and change expressions and lips to match the lines recorded?

@@floccinaucinihilipilificat6749 As far as I know, this is actually pretty uncommon. The songs are usually scripted out to be molded into the original view, so usually the storyboards don’t need to be changed in terms of tone. However, Deedee decided to make the tone more dramatic and impacting rather than the calm tone that was originally planned, and it made it so much better and the story boarders had to change a few of the expressions.

Every song in this episode I've been singing since they aired especially the mr.greg scene when the get to le hotel

all the good saongs are about the gems being gay.

+Dragogirl 10 They don't have gender.

+0lson They use female pronouns, therefore their genders are all female. (As confirmed by Rebecca Sugar herself.) The gems are sexless, no genderless.

+Fαℓℓιиg Uρ ianjq says it's still very possible for a gem that was formed female to take on a male form, though

No

I REALLY hope her next outfit will look like a tuxedo

No

I adore Pearl in any outfit, but that tuxedo was truly "a perfect fit" :D ♡

And there's her Sardonyx part.

ikr

maybe she thinks humans are completely deaf when they're sleeping

Well She did watch steven while he was sleeping, and he didn't wake up...

best profile pic

+Jello Diamond same

XDDD SAME

Change some lyrics and meanings of words

+ShiningManga CubiksGriffin (Ink!Sans) yeah lol

Same here.

***** Yeah Tru

Hm....soinds about right

Undertale fans will probably make a parody of it and claim it as their own lol. or maybe some other new game that would be overrated

+John Gonzales Most likely.

they both are about gay gems.

Same

Since it was a very dynamic movement, they need to make sure there's more key frames so it's easier to animate from the storyboards.

That one Dude 1:08

So is 0:33-0:35

I kept rewatching that part because of that

Bri The Mad Mistress I think it's actually an animatic

Did they just change the storyboard?

@@magorzatamaniak3454 yes, because of the va singing her heart out beautifully

Yea she did

two words full disclosure

What do I put here? Different opinions

+Nathan Jarrett eh

+Nathan Jarrett eh

What simple idea...the story...the character...what? Cuz ik those aren't simple. We need more info here.

+Mini-E the storyboard vs how smooth the final is

+Bea Stewart Well...that makes a lot of sense..XD im stupid

+Beezletoad True

True! If you go to the crewniverse tumblr, there's a post about the artist bringing the script to life and the storyboard is completely different from what was written. a LOT of work and imagination goes into storyboards!

Probably not....

Why cant I move on?

You and me both. When Steven Universe ends I'll probably be replaying this song and sobbing for hours lmao

Dude same. I have never related to a comment so much ;w;

It's not that good. I mean, yeah it's good, but not the kind of song I could listen for hours and hours.

Same.

same

I love your account name by the way. I also agree!

Peri what do ya think about your tablet ;)

Dominick Perez It's all that I am.

same

When you cant cry just remember... SNAKES DONT HAVE ANY ARMS! );

+powerofthegem ...IT DIDNT WORK DX

Ed Linares what season and episode is this?

Kenneth Castro season 3 ep idk

its the same as her talking voice.

+Julissa Macias Love your profile pic.

i love everything about everything

round and round let the city turn we can party in the hills we burbs roof on fire let it burn champagne in my hand I'm not concerned

+Your Local Pizza Man I know that song but why now?

I was thinking the same thing! Glad i'm not the only one!

Pearl's VA was on broadway anyways >.< ..

Heck yea! Up-Top!

Strong in the Real Way.

Sanicasaurus That song was also sang with Steven

Ed Linares It was still a solo for half of the song.

+Sanicasaurus A solo is when somebody sings the song all alone.

I can only imagine. o.0

Oopsie daisies

unless they love Steven universe and their favorite character is pearl then maybe probably not tho

I actually did that, except on FaceTime because I clicked the answer button instead of the decline button, and I sung it to myself. She didn't say anything during the song, but then when I realized the face time was on for over a minute, I checked back on her and she was all teary faced. Turns out she was a lesbian, hid it from me, and now she's crying because they broke up. It took me all day to become friends with her..

+Pearl Gem Awe. .3.

cuz tears are salty and Rebecca feeds that to Pearl so dats why Pearl is always salty af

+love Luci Lol

because she feeds on sadness... But she needs something to get the tears from hence SU

didn't she say "i like crying. crying is funny" or something along those line in an interview once?

+Dominick Perez thats why rose had healing TEARS

she can levitate

puppyhowler or she had just has good placing in feet and stuff

Kenneth Castro of coarse, she has excellent balance, she can stand on her spear if she wanted too

nobody is ignoring the fact , thats literally what everyone talks about

Imagine the people below just watching from above like "she's gonna fall, she's gonna- HOLY SHIT SHE JUST DID A FUCKING BACK FLIP ON THE RAILING!"

Me too....

Literally? So you're dead?

Why?

Me too

+undesirable no1000 But They Do Make Shitty Songs, You Gotta Admit

+Dommbuscus by Fall out boy

he couldnt move because of them SICK DANCES

As he should tbh

I teared in the next one, it just was a tear fest

+aleix1203 I thought "Both Of You" was eh...I didn't really care for that one too much

+SomethingCleverIGuess nope. she sung about sugilite

Steven sung "strpng in the Real Way" as well, though. Even though they didn't sing together it technically wasn't a solo.

+byperbam k whatever floats your boat.

Booper McBunderSnazzle Steven sung that song with her, so it's not a solo

Davi Aiex Heleno gotchu fam

Well I have two just yeet this into saved thank you

right

next season probably..

+max tru

*cough cough* pearlmethyst FITE ME

Kaylee Brown meet me in the pit

OMG TRUE... how

I feel for ya. I was not prepared for this song. If I have kids one day I'll make sure they watch this cartoon because it's beautiful and meaningful, and teaches all sorts of things like consent, that it's okay to be queer and so on. All that aside... Yeah, Pearl is my fav gem. I loved this episode.

How can you cry? I cant cry easily like i used to...HELP ME!

Oh c'mon P, you know I can't take it when you cry like that! 😢

WAS THAT COMMENT R E A L L Y NESCESSARY

I'M NOT CRYING! I JUST CAUGHT SOMETHING IN MY EYE.

TEARS!!

Pearl's facial expressions are key in this scene! It's amazing how they put everything together to make it feel so sad and dramatic

bruh fO' REAL?

It's such a great art! The buildings, the lights, everything! I analyzed this song a few days ago and I can't get over it.

WHY AM I NOT CRYING YET I HAVE PLAYED THIS UNTIL I SAW THIS EPISODE AND NOTHING?! Do I have a heart??? 😭 IM CRYING INSIDE BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW OUTSIDE? Why??? *cries inside*

Nvm I cried NOW.......

+The Cutie it was beautiful....

Sometimes to match the voice intensity, like they did with Ruby in the Motel Keystone episode

+Kawaii Bunny they probably did. 😂😂

+Kawaii Bunny maybe

They couldn't see with all the tears in their eyes

Too much detail to animate, BOII The rotoscope when the camera moves is hard af... Imagine do that with the scenario and have to draw the ROOM
