"I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, it’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone." - Robin Williams

I decided to create this tribute video in memory of the late, great, and absolutely kooky Robin Williams of whom I hold a special place in my heart being my favorite childhood actor. Although I was only 1 year old when Mork last appeared on TV screens, I fondly remembered watching reruns on TV.

His commitment to his work, his decadence to anything serious especially in Mork & Mindy, his pure charisma to keep an audience interested and entertained. Robin was pure silver screen magic. He could do to acting and comedy as Tommy Cooper could do to magic and comedy.

There are some great actors and actresses in the world today but non have the spark Robin did. In a unique ironic twist, we even got to see inside a voice actor's mind when he did the voice acting for cartoon characters at the start of Mrs Doubtfire.

Living in the UK, it was approximate 12:03am on Tuesday August 12th, 2014 when the darkest moment of my life shook the very core of me. Having just completed a recording of part 3 of the Half Life 2 horror mod called Midgaard, I shutdown my computer but a voice told me to check my phone. And there it was, on my Sky News app, breaking news of Robin Williams.

For the past 48 hours I have been working tirelessly to source material to make this video with. And I hope the both YouTube and the respective copyright holders of the material used understand that I have created this video to mark the talent of a very special, gifted genius and that I have no intention of making money from this video.

I do request that any viewer to see this video: if you do see any ads, please comment or send me an e-mail so I can remove all ads. In the interest of identifying the copyrights, here they are:

Please forgive the title of the music but when I played ME3 and completed it, the ending coupled with the music brought a tear to my eye then, and I feel the somber feel of the music piece itself is a fitting companion to this video.

If there are other copyright holders who I have missed out on this video and willing to allow me to keep this video on YouTube, please comment or e-mail me. I have kept the original project files on my computer therefore I can amend the video with very little impact on production time.

Thank you for watching.

Rest In Peace. Mork has finally returned to planet Ork and the Big Giant Head.
