My Dad celebrated his 70th Birthday on March 18, 2011. The family planned a big surprise party for him on the 19th. I flew back home to Trinidad to be there as well.
When I reached the gate and he saw me, he simply asked "Hey what you doin' here?", when I responded that it was a surprise visit for his 70th, he said "That's nice." and went back to what he was doing... that's my Dad for you :)
Love ya Dad, this video is for you :)

Oh sorry the food is not in focus :( but it certainly was delicious... almost every meat imaginable was curried! YUM!

Gear and Notes:
I left the footage as ungraded, right out of the camera.

5DMKII with Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 & Canon 70-200mm F/2.8L IS on Glidetrack HD Shooter and Manfrotto Sticks for the table slide, indoor and coconut tree scenes (didn't have my Kessler Crane Cineslider so I threw out alot of my slide moves)
