Cut Video is at it again with the help of Field Day, this time with 100 Years of Beauty: Aging. Instead of focusing on the beauty trends of a specific culture, this series gave an engaged couple the opportunity to glimpse into the future before tying the knot a month from filming it. Spanning nearly a decade from their current late 20s to what they may look like in their 90s, the changes are drastic.
Yet more than the transformations themselves, the 100 Years of Beauty: Aging video allowed them to emotionally reflect on what their life together would be like at that point in time. My Modern Met writes, "After their 50-year-old metamorphosis, Kristie tearfully remarked, 'We'll have kids and grandkids. So many stories.'"
