Given the tack record of this show, where even the enemies can be redeemed, can we really be blamed for instinctively being protective of every new character we see?
I really like the idea of Pink Pearl being quietly resentful about having to clean up after a bratty Diamond who throws tantrums and destroys things. It makes a lot of sense story-wise and creates a contrast to Crystal Gem Pearl's blind infatuation.
The sad part is that royal pearls are meant to have the exact personalities of their diamonds, so volleyball was more than likely egging pink on to be childish, which is one of the reasons pink left spinel in the garden. Because pink wanted to grow up.
R E I disagree. The backgrounds are beautiful , but the animation is good at its best and very very disproportionate and difficult to look at at its worst.
It's scary how accurate this actually is, knowing more of the story, even her pose near the end resembles mega pearl( when volleyball was finally free)
Terri Boberry actually pearls are extremely loyal to their diamonds they don't want things for themselves they want things for their owner. Even our Pearl stayed loyal to her diamond years after she was gone. Everything she used to do was for pink. There wasn't really anything intense enough in this video that showed why this Pearl would want to leave or how they can even comprehend the concept of free will. But it's a pretty sick animatic tho.
Shawn Ugwudike the stress of pinks fits might be the reason pearl wanted to leave. She looks scared or uncomfortable enough fits like that from someone your supposed to respect is pretty tireing trust me i have experience in it. I think its enough to make her go
If she felt stressed and started to mistrait her Diamond, if the theory of our Pearl being originally White's Pearl, and this Pearl being from Pink, it could fit since as punishment she took her and "disciplined" her. Then, with White's abusive behavior.... Well... He eye...
pearl's emotion transition into and off the song builds on small but convincing event and action design. Her whole body during the song expresses the lyric amazingly well.
_Aggressive Clapping_ I messed my own self up when I thought at the "I rather be freeee~" My brain: is that why White diamond messed you up (╯︵╰,) sad now But besides that this is really good..
lmao I remember people getting so mad over this animatic because at the time it came out a lot of people were like "white pearl wasn't Pink Diamond's pearl!!!" and who would've expected like a year later basically all of this is canon
I know!!!! That was actually precisely what I was fixing when Vegas crashed :^( I kept saving a looped segment so I didn't realize the initial scene was going so fast it was unreadable until it was 5AM and I lost my whole project
It would’ve been nice to have PD listening in on this. From the flashbacks, we can see that she really liked the idea of freedom. Plus, it would’ve made for a fluffy lil scene.
Man this adds a whole different level to Volleyball i love it so much?? She was so sweet in the episode but the absolute contempt you conveyed in some frames was so believable?? 10/10
This is mostly how Pink Pearl felt because of Pink Diamond, she wanted to show love to Pink Diamond but wanted to keep her inner self inside for Pink, Pink is always trying to literally do everything right, but she couldn’t. Pink almost shattered her own Pink pearl. Basically feeling cruelty and maltreatment. Pink treated her unfairly with her anger. Tho, she really tried to be supportive to her own Pearl. Mostly to herself. Pink Pearl has been hurt for years, Pink couldn’t control her anger about having a planet. She really did suck but it’s fine for now. This is the explanation why this artist made escapism animatic for Pink Pearl. It’s quite nice.
I really like this! I was thinking, what if this song fits into Rhodonite’s backstory? We know that both the ruby and pearl were under a Morganite, so what if the pearl was singing this song? I could definitely see another fusion backstory video! I hope it wasn’t rude to theorize in the comment section. This was great!
bleh yeah the timing was pretty bad, but the episode was decent either way. I didn’t like how people gave it shit just bc it wasn’t what they wanted. Yeah we wanted to see what would happen on homeworld, but honestly the ending of the episode was worth it to me. Still important to the plot, but pretty enjoyable. I think it was more of a “break” episode, to get away from all the dark stuff happening in the plot. Sorry if this was long :,)
Your art is really nice, but you should work on your pacing. It's pretty much impossible to both read the dialogue at the beginning AND see what's even going on because it flies by way too fast. A common rule of thumb would be to leave text onscreen long enough to read it out loud two or three times so that your audience gets a chance to register it
awww its so perfect!! i literally can’t stop watching this! Pink Pearls expressions and way of moving are so beautiful and true, I feel like i’m there feeling her emotions
Loved your animation, but, why Pink Pearl/White Pearl would feel oppressed by Pink Diamond?, PD was pobably the most open-minded of the authority. Plus, it would be a nice detail that PD would have heard her singing or stuff.
Pink treats P.Pearl just fine, but she has violent tantrums, so as long as they're unequal, Pearl is anxious about her position & safety. I really like Pink's tendency to accidentally ruin lives, so I wanted to focus on that aspect, especially since I have no idea what P.Pearl's deal is. I actually cut the after-scene - Pink was supposed to return, and they bonded a little, but it was too long and I was exhausted from marathoning it and I had drawn a lot of it poorly so I just cut it. :p If I ever do a revision of this animatic I'll try to do the whole thing.
Pink Diamond, the one who probably broke her first Pearl and let her last Pearl in the friendzone, make her keep a comand for almost 6000 years, caused her serious emotional injuries and caused the other diamonds almost kill her son. XD
Pink Diamond is the least impressive diamonds. Its like when Peridot saw that Yellow wasn’t perfect. You ask yourself why you are below them if they aren’t even that great.
Also there's no way Pink Pearl or any other pearl would even be able to comprehend the concept of free will. They haven't been on Earth or been in the rebellion.
i always love watching this. you have such beautiful movements and expressions, and you match them so perfectly to the emotion in rebecca's voice. i 100% believe that pearl's singing this every time i watch it, i can practically feel it bursting out from inside of her--like, you know how in a good emotional song in a musical, you completely fall for the reality of the character singing their feelings because it feels like they HAVE to sing this, like nothing else can begin to explain the depth of what they're feeling? that.
Oh wow! I didn't even think about how well this song fits the new pearl. I also love the strong emotion you give her faces - makes me feel like it's from an actual episode.
I heard so many people talking about the song for so long but I wanted to avoid it until it canonly came out on screen. I'm glad I let the thumbnail tempt me into hearing it. This animatic is very beautiful
oh wow this is great! We don't get to know pink pearl in the show, so your interpretation of her is really bittersweet. plus i LOOOOOOVE how you ended the shot with her staring at Pink's house with White diamond's head silhouetted against pink pearl, foreshadowing that she'll get her wish of being free from pink, only to end up with white
I've just watched like 4 your videos, one including sum cats, and I'm already ready to give you mah subscription, house and soul, your scenes directing is amazing! Let's just say everything this animatic's supposed to have is gorgeous. Well done!
Guys, how many aura did I lose when 12 year old me re-enact this Animatic while cleaning the library (I was really feeling it with the mop in my hands)
a pearl is made exactly like their diamond, so that's probably why pink pearl gives off that "i dont wanna be here. this is too much work" vibe, just like pink diamond/rose quartz
I would listen to escapism while I was feeling depressed/ felt like harming myself again. Hearing it again just makes me cry every time I hear it lmao 😂🙃
This is beautiful and I wish this was truly canon! OMG! The SU crew need you! This theory and animation would be a great fit as the series is going right now. Beautiful in all of it's perfect imperfections! 😍😍😍
And then white diamond sees her so that’s the reason why white pearl is broken. White forced her to be “normal” and to only do her duty of serving diamonds
This fandom saw white pearl for like 15 seconds and immediately formed a protection squad
Given the tack record of this show, where even the enemies can be redeemed, can we really be blamed for instinctively being protective of every new character we see?
Ive only had pink pearl for a second, but if anything where to happen to her id kill everyone in this room and then myself.
Spacecest.Slimes you’ve had a whole episode of her
VOLLEYBALL!!! UwU
Casey Heart correct
I really like the idea of Pink Pearl being quietly resentful about having to clean up after a bratty Diamond who throws tantrums and destroys things. It makes a lot of sense story-wise and creates a contrast to Crystal Gem Pearl's blind infatuation.
Yeah, shame it wasn't that way
@Mohini Stalker my fav fanfic is on hiatus im dying lol
That brat is Stevens mom.
@@12s0ph what is it called ?
Tasneem Riyami oof that was a month ago I have a new fav and also its ummm a ship fanfic lol, so if you don’t like lapidot,you won’t like it at all..
Tell me why I was scrolling through my recommended, saw this, and accidentally read "Steven Universe escapes capitalism" and I was like "seems legit".
Snak e what?!😂
What. The heck.
it was exactly 4:27am and your eyes couldn't take the bright light your phone lit
_wot_
Yup! very legit 👌🤣
THAT LAST FRAME
THE FORESHADOWING
GENIUS
What are we foreshadowing here?
WHITE DIOMAND I DID NOT SEE THAT BEFORE OH WOW THANKS FOR HAVING ME NOTICE
@@AriTheMothQueen white diamond taking control of this pearl
The sad part is that royal pearls are meant to have the exact personalities of their diamonds, so volleyball was more than likely egging pink on to be childish, which is one of the reasons pink left spinel in the garden. Because pink wanted to grow up.
Wow by far my favorite animatic really loved the story u set up plus I am really rooting for “white pearl” to sing this
Jaden Thompson because white pearl is pink pearl
@@stqrcrushed5983 its not set in stone yet.
Jaden Thompson shes brainwashed
Celyn Studios it’s just a theory, that’s not confirmed
Jaden Thompson this song is about stevonnie
Ok. Who let one of Rebecca’s storyboard artists out? But for real this is incredible. Keep up the amazing work!
Braytoren Northois Actually the story board artist for Steven universe are terrible story boarders. They are pretty good writers tho.
oscar alonso art is very hard to criticize, but they're not too bad at drawing. There some average stuff and some gold.
R E I disagree. The backgrounds are beautiful , but the animation is good at its best and very very disproportionate and difficult to look at at its worst.

You are incredibly underrated! You deserve more!
Omg hi queen
Vinyl Plastic ミーム Lmao hi
Ikr.. she draws WP hair my new favorite way.
Stained Brain Yeah! I love when people draw her hair that way!
It is beautiful
1:23 it would of been hilarious if Pink Diamond walked in exactly at that moment
WHITE DIAMOND m-my diamond!
I was shaking because I thought White would bust in any second.
WHITE DIAMOND oh my diamond blue tiger eye facet 561 cut 5xl reporting in
Agree
I was waiting for that TBH
that last frame tho 👀👀👌🏽👌🏽

Peacho!!!

peacho yesh
I love it! Especially her with her hair down!

Ace fandom Ya but I don't think it really goes with the song all that well. Story/narrative wise, it doesn't make much sense
If she felt stressed and started to mistrait her Diamond, if the theory of our Pearl being originally White's Pearl, and this Pearl being from Pink, it could fit since as punishment she took her and "disciplined" her. Then, with White's abusive behavior.... Well... He eye...
Yeah. It's one of the best animatics I've ever seen but I still can't see this being the character which we see with this song.
pearl's emotion transition into and off the song builds on small but convincing event and action design. Her whole body during the song expresses the lyric amazingly well.
_Aggressive Clapping_
I messed my own self up when I thought at the "I rather be freeee~"
My brain: is that why White diamond messed you up
(╯︵╰,) sad now
But besides that this is really good..
That's the same thing I was thinking.
it was that monster aka pink
lmao I remember people getting so mad over this animatic because at the time it came out a lot of people were like "white pearl wasn't Pink Diamond's pearl!!!" and who would've expected like a year later basically all of this is canon
Pearl is so cute with her hair down!!
How scary how fitting this actually is with us now knowing how she got her scar
Sara black I was looking for this comment! I had to revisit when that episode came out.
It’s odd how this animatic was actually really close to the actually story like spot on
Volleyball to white: You saved me from pink!
White: Oh i wouldn't say freed, more like "under new management"
Love it, but slow it down! I don't wanna have to pause every frame
I know!!!! That was actually precisely what I was fixing when Vegas crashed :^( I kept saving a looped segment so I didn't realize the initial scene was going so fast it was unreadable until it was 5AM and I lost my whole project
It would’ve been nice to have PD listening in on this. From the flashbacks, we can see that she really liked the idea of freedom. Plus, it would’ve made for a fluffy lil scene.
It's funny how the first scene was unknowingly set up as the actual events of the series.. Leaving aside Pearl's eye
**Ring Ring**
Yes, Rebecca I believe one of your animators escaped.
#SETWHITEPEARLFREE
I think she’s my new fav pearl because of this and it’s not even cannon
Man this adds a whole different level to Volleyball i love it so much?? She was so sweet in the episode but the absolute contempt you conveyed in some frames was so believable?? 10/10

Seeing the most recent episodes, this seems very plausible
*The perfect animator doesn’t exis-*
I really like this! I was thinking, what if this song fits into Rhodonite’s backstory? We know that both the ruby and pearl were under a Morganite, so what if the pearl was singing this song? I could definitely see another fusion backstory video! I hope it wasn’t rude to theorize in the comment section. This was great!
OMG that would make sense too. That would be a very interesting story.
It's INFINITELY better than what happened in the actual episode =\
Rukuha-san the episode was still good, just not what most people expected.
Not the episode that came today though. It's AMAZING AAAH
so true.
@@katjmt I think we really didn't need that kind of episode at that moment. The timing was terrible...
bleh yeah the timing was pretty bad, but the episode was decent either way. I didn’t like how people gave it shit just bc it wasn’t what they wanted.

I love that despite disliking Homeworld, the Pearl doesn't seem to have any disdain for Pink, that little smile she gave as she left was adorable.
*Rebecca Sugar:* Would you like to be a Storyboard Artist?
Your art is really nice, but you should work on your pacing. It's pretty much impossible to both read the dialogue at the beginning AND see what's even going on because it flies by way too fast.

Kitikat101 slow down the video
you shouldn't have to slow the video down.
I too slowed it down to 0.25
...Are you guys slow readers or what? I get pacing is important, but those were average after you start reading subtitles to anime
Cool Cat cool for you not everyone watches anime, and ive watched a few anime in subs and trust me it is slower than this
This is so amazing it should have way more views and likes beautiful just beautiful!!!
Gotta say it's freaky watching the beginning of this knowing Pink Pearl had that crack because of a tantrum Pink threw-
awww its so perfect!! i literally can’t stop watching this! Pink Pearls expressions and way of moving are so beautiful and true, I feel like i’m there feeling her emotions
*call Rebecca*
enh, hey, i think one of your storyboarders scape

I love the idea of the pearls singing this rather than pink diamond :0 and this was beautiful! Pearl with her hair down is just so 😍
This animation totally called it, that this is could actually be a possible scene when Pink Diamond was still around.
I love how accurate this would be if it was actually in the show. And how beautifuly they planned like the hair thing OOOOOO i just loved it
THIS AGED WELL
i always love watching this. you have such beautiful movements and expressions, and you match them so perfectly to the emotion in rebecca's voice. i 100% believe that pearl's singing this every time i watch it, i can practically feel it bursting out from inside of her--like, you know how in a good emotional song in a musical, you completely fall for the reality of the character singing their feelings because it feels like they HAVE to sing this, like nothing else can begin to explain the depth of what they're feeling?
that.
This is so beautiful!!! The poses are wonderful, and Pink Pearl's expressions are so dynamic! You did such great work here!!!
Oh wow! I didn't even think about how well this song fits the new pearl. I also love the strong emotion you give her faces - makes me feel like it's from an actual episode.
I’ve seen the latest SUF episode and yes, you called it. You called it too much, are you psychic?
MY GODDD
THE LIGHTING, THE DANCE, THE EXPRESSIONS!
THIS IS GORGEOUS
THIS IS SUCHA COOL CONCEPT! I never thought of Pink/White Pearl as a possibility for Escapism till now. Great art!
I AM IN PAIN BECOUSE OF THIS VIDEO WHY IS IT SO BEAUTIFUL
Dang this animatic predicted Destructive Pink
I heard so many people talking about the song for so long but I wanted to avoid it until it canonly came out on screen. I'm glad I let the thumbnail tempt me into hearing it. This animatic is very beautiful
This is absolutly beautiful. It's pearlfect!!! I love WhiiiiPink pearl so much!!!!
MY BABY PEARL, SHE DESERVES SO MUCH LOVE
Also, great animation! The expressions were spot and it was very entertaining!
Holy shit this lines up with the recent episode and how pink diamond hurt her.
Jksdhkjd I love your style, this interpretation of the song is 100% better than the background music thing in the actual show, I'm still salty
I love this so much!!!
You can tell she's exactly like pink diamond as she just wants to do what she wants and be free.
oh wow this is great! We don't get to know pink pearl in the show, so your interpretation of her is really bittersweet. plus i LOOOOOOVE how you ended the shot with her staring at Pink's house with White diamond's head silhouetted against pink pearl, foreshadowing that she'll get her wish of being free from pink, only to end up with white

Oh boy, it's even sadder now that we know the real story.

I’m crying this must’ve take forever to make! Just all the movement and such is so beautiful and detailed, and I’m amazed.
If this isn't how it plays out, they'll have done something wrong. This is excellent work.
This has blessed my eyeballs man, she’s so pretty and you get her body so well!!
I can honestly believe that this could be a a PP/WP song, after all, she's so interesting and there's so much to learn about her!
Guys, how many aura did I lose when 12 year old me re-enact this Animatic while cleaning the library (I was really feeling it with the mop in my hands)
Wow just wow so magnificent! Also the hair thing and fluid movement!
THIS IS TOO ACCURATE
Yeah I know how she feels. My favorite white pearl animatic by far very well made
I have no clue how many times I've watched this! This animatic is so perfect!
In the end she was Pink's pearl
Makes this animatic even better
Solo han pasado 2 años y ya tengo un sentimiento de nostalgia tremendo
how do this fit so well with Steven Universe future and is create since like more than a year ???
I dunno why but I feel like this version of escapism is the best and fit well with pink pearl ^w^ I really loved that animatic
This is incredible and under rated! White pearl is adorable! Amazing work! Poor pearl!
a pearl is made exactly like their diamond, so that's probably why pink pearl gives off that "i dont wanna be here. this is too much work" vibe, just like pink diamond/rose quartz
I would listen to escapism while I was feeling depressed/ felt like harming myself again. Hearing it again just makes me cry every time I hear it lmao 😂🙃
That was amazing! Who knows, if pink diamond saw her like that maybe she’d become our pearl
It's really cool to see Rebecca Sugar's voice animated to an SU character and have it sound so fitting.
OHHHHH MY GOSH WHITE(PINK?) PEARL MY GIRL!! THIS IS SUCH A GOOD ANIMATIC! TO THE ARTIST YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!!!!!!
the episode “volleyball” and this animation fit in soo well with one another i love it
What if this confirms that White Pearl will sing Escapism?
This is beautiful and I wish this was truly canon! OMG! The SU crew need you! This theory and animation would be a great fit as the series is going right now. Beautiful in all of it's perfect imperfections! 😍😍😍
I love this and I feel like that’s how they could incorporate that song into Steven Universe! Good Job! Keep up the good work my dude! 👍
This left me speechless :O All I have to say is wow, great job.
This was such a cool spin on the song and its so unique i love it!!
You predicted the destructive powers... wow
Oh my stars this is wonderful. I never thought about it this way before but now I'm really rooting for white pearl.
I LOVE THIS VERSION OF THE STORY, IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Pearl looks so done. Hahahaa and Wow, just wow. This is AMAZING! Your art style is very cool too. Keep up the good work!❤️
How do you only have 649 subs? You deserve more! This must have taken so much time!
I ordered a drawing pad on wish and it's arriving September 6, so i think when it arrives I'm doing an animation as a tribute for this amazing work :D
And then white diamond sees her so that’s the reason why white pearl is broken. White forced her to be “normal” and to only do her duty of serving diamonds
It's unfortunate that she had only known Pink as a whiny, attitude filled teen and didn't get to see her grow into her set of morals
1:31 is that unintentional foreshadowing? That pink pearl is “white diamond” in a sense. Since she is being controlled
*_she had a scream that could crack the walls._*
okay I know I’m illegally late BUT THIS IS TOO GOOD AHHHHH TYSM FOR THIS AMAZING ART
This is a better use of the song than what the actual writers did
Dok Champa agreed
