Jennifer Brown is tearing up. She's converting early-2000s camcorder footage into digital files, watching as a woman's colleagues celebrate her promotion until the woman's boyfriend appears out of nowhere, gets down on one knee, and proposes. When a group of passersby interrupts Brown quietly weeping at her computer screen, she gestures at the proposal by way of explanation. "She is totally surprised," Brown says, "and now I'm all flustered."
