Watch: Man makes stellar music video after getting stuck in the airport overnight

In a 5-minute track, Richard Dunn films himself at an abandoned boarding gate — with dolly tracks — set to Celine Dion's "All by Myself".

What do you do when you’re stranded at the airport overnight, waiting for your next flight? Look for a place to sleep? Take a round of all the shops, building a shopping wishlist?

But not Richard Dunn, who was stuck overnight at the McCarran Airport in Las Vegas, US. Dunn decided to use his time much more productively — and, with a little help from Celine Dion — he shot a video of himself lip-syncing to Dion’s “All by Myself” at an abandoned boarding gate. Since the video was uploaded a while back, Dunn has become an international phenomenon.

“I had NO IDEA it would turn into this. Absolutely crazy. I’m actually doing a radio interview this afternoon about it!” he says in one of the comments to the video that he had posted on Vimeo. Dunn was called on for interviews and even went on to make another video in Venice after the first one took off on the Internet.

Explaining how he managed to execute dolly tracking shots and other moving frames, Dunn says on the Vimeo site that he had a person give him a roll of luggage tape, using which he taped his iPhone onto a wheelchair, and improvised with escalators and moving walkways for effects.
