Faithful Macenstein reader (and lead singer of the band The Anix) Brandon Smith writes:

We filmed this entire video using only one iphone 4, literally minutes after taking it out of the box. All we had were tri-pods that we would tape the phone to or anything we could use to keep the phone steady. The song was recorded using Logic 9, on a MacBook Pro i7. As a disclaimer, this was my first attempt at editing/shooting a video, so if it looks like I have no clue what I am doing, you are right.

Well, they would have gotten extra points if they also edited it on their iPhone using iMovie, but still, I think it’s impressive, and it certainly doesn’t scream “this was shot on a cell phone”. So, is it a cheap gimmick to try to get sites to write about their band? Sure. But both the song and the video ain’t half bad, which means they’re both half good, so take a listen.
