What do you do when you’re stuck at the Las Vegas Airport over night? Shoot a music video on your iPhone. That’s what.

Richard Dunn, a lighting designer, was waiting to board a 6am flight at Las Vegas airport when inspiration hit.

While some might read a book, browse the internet or take a nap to pass the time, Dunn decided to do something a little more adventurous. 

Armed with luggage tape, an iPhone and a wheelchair, he spent the night producing a spoof video of himself lip-syncing Celine Dion’s 90s power ballad ‘All By Myself’.  

Dunn told Canada's CBC Radio that he volunteered to get bumped off two flights, and thought it would be fun to stay at the airport overnight. 

"I got thinking, I could have some fun if I was here overnight... I'll see how much trouble I can get into."

The results speak for themselves. 



And if you’re wondering exactly how Dunn achieved some of his effects, he's revealed a few tricks on his Vimeo account.

"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," he wrote.

"I also used the extended handle on my computer bag and taped the iPhone to my handle. I would tuck different stuff under the bag to get the right angle.

"For the escalator shot I had to sprint up the steps after I got my shot so the computer bag didn't hit the top and fall back down. Quite fun!"
