I’d love to see what they could do with a movie like Final Fantasy VII live action. The VFX would go crazy! This is really cool, thanks for sharing

It’s still crazy to me that the Star Wars prequels were shot 100% practically with zero CGI whatsoever. Simply amazing.

“Now I actually am gonna cry!” Four days before her wedding to fellow musician Damiano David, Dove Cameron visits the Valentino studio in Rome for her final wedding dress fitting.

Stepping inside Valentino, Dove gets a closer look at her beautifully detailed, celestial wedding dress, complete with a veil adorned with moons and stars—a reference to her middle name.
