9. Video is not difficult anymore
When Richard Dunn found himself alone overnight in Vegas, he made a video with Celine Dion¡¯s 1996 song ¡°All By Myself.¡±
Dunn did produce the 5-minute video all by himself, creatively using moving walkways, escalators and strategically placed
luggage tape.
As Dunn explained on his Vimeo page, ¡°I got a person behind a ticket counter to give me a roll of luggage tape before she
left. I then found a wheelchair with a tall pole on the back and I taped my iPhone to that.
I put it on the moving walkway for a dolly shot. I also taped my iPhone to the extended handle on my computer bag.
I would tuck different things 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¡¡±
