You all aware of the Facebook look back video. With the help of automated tool it can able to build up video of everyone using Facebook ever since they have joined Facebook. The 62-second clip notes the year you joined Facebook, then shows a handful of your most-liked posts and a seemingly random selection of your photos -- all set to instrumental music.

In the URL Facebook.com/lookback you can see your video. 

Facebook agreed to create a Look Back video of a dead man after his father made a tearful plea in a video that went viral.
"All we want to do is see his movie. That's it," said John Berlin of Arnold, Mo., in a video posted on YouTube. The video had more than 835,216 views as of Today.

Here is the video 


Jesse Berlin died on Jan. 28, 2012, at the age of 21, Friends and family can post messages and photos to Jesse's Facebook page, but they cannot access his page to create a Look Back video, Berlin said.

Berlin first tried e-mailing Facebook and got an automated response. He then tweeted at Mark Zuckerberg. He knew it was unlikely that he would hear back from the company.
"Then it just dawned on me that people post these videos and sometimes they go viral," Berlin said.
While recording the video, Berlin did not expect to get so emotional, he said. "It's just what happened."
A representative from Facebook called Berlin on Wednesday evening to say the company would "cut some red tape" to make the video available in a few days, Berlin said. Facebook also told Berlin it was looking into a policy to memorialize Facebook pages for people who have lost loved ones, Berlin said.
Facebook confirmed that it is creating a video for Berlin.
"I touched the hearts of a lot of people," Berlin said. "I wasn't trying to do that, but I did ... I just wanted to see a one-minute video."
