Dunn spent all night recording himself lip-syncing Celine Dion’s version of “All By Myself.” 

Dunn works as a lighting designer for corporate entertainment, according to CBC News.

According to CBC News, Dunn was offered vouchers to be bumped off two consecutive Delta Air Lines flights leaving him “all by himself”until 6 a.m. the next day.

“I thought, well I don’t have enough time to go to a hotel so what do I do? I’ve got my phone and an empty movie set, lets see what trouble I can get into,” Dunn said.

Dunn Googled songs about being alone and found “All By Myself.” He waited until about 2 a.m. and then went to work.

He was able to get some tape from an airport mechanic,  which he used to secure his iPhone to a ruler. He then sandwiched the pole between his luggage bags and used that as a“tripod” that he took around the terminal to film the various shots.

Look for that finale, which he cleverly filmed by strapping the camera to a bag that was placed on the escalator.
