Alone in an airport, Richard Dunn decided to amuse himself. And now, us. Photo / Vimeo
When hit with flight delays, most of us tend to just idly wander around the departure lounge staring blearily at oversized bars of Toblerone and deciding whether to blow the last of our trip money on a U-shaped neck pillow that will in no way improve the chances of sleeping
on the plane.
But not Richard Dunn, when stuck overnight in Las Vegas' McCarran Airport he busied himself making a music video for Celine Dion's All By Myself, complete with improvised dolly tracking shot and bottom of the escalator 'fall to knees' for the crescendo.
Dunn admitted to having actually had a 'quite fun' time (the first recorded instance of this in an airport), getting behind the Delta check-in desks, crooning in those massage chairs no-one actually uses and utilising the inherently cinematic horizontal escalators.
Explaining how he filmed himself despite being all alone in the airport, he wrote on his Vimeo page:
"I had a person behind a ticket counter give me a roll of luggage tape before she left. I then used a wheel chair that had a tall pole on the back of it and taped my iPhone to that. Then I would put it on the moving walkway for a dolly shot.
