iPhone 4 Announced – Cool New Features!
iPhone 4
Here at Midgibyte, we’re all excited by the announcement last night by Steve Jobs that the new iPhone will be June 24th, not just in the US, but here in the UK as well!
First impressions of the new phone? Its very cool, with lots of great new features.
Some were just as expected, with multitasking, front facing camera, plus built-in LED flash all welcome, but long overdue features.
The main new features i’m personally excited about is the much improved ‘Retina Display’ screen, and the 720p video recording, then the ability to edit with the new iMovie App directly on the phone! All sound like great fun, but i’m wondering how quickly the 32Gb capacity will fill up with all those holiday video masterpieces we’ll all be making this summer!
Stars get on their bikes for SAMH
Posted by Andrew in General, Photography, video on May 19th, 2010
Today we were honoured to join cycling stars Sir Chris Hoy and Graeme Obree and comedienne Ruby Wax, launching a £1million fund-raising target to help our client SAMH, Scotland’s leading mental health charity, raise money for essential community projects.
Along with our very own Paul McStay, our video and photography teams were on hand at the SAMH Office and Parkhead Football Stadium, home to Celtic FC, to capture the event on film for a promotional video for SAMH.
Four-times Olympic Gold medallist, Sir Chris Hoy, is Ambassador for SAMH for a second year and has often spoken of the importance of good mental health. One of Chris’ sporting heroes, former cycling world champion and world record holder Graeme Obree – a.k.a. The Flying Scotsman – lives with depression caused by bipolar disorder, and comedienne and writer Ruby Wax also lives with depression.
Lighting up your Christmas
Posted by Andrew in Motion, Photography, video on December 14th, 2009
Rather than sending out dull old christmas cards we decided to get our torches out and spent a few nights making a light graffiti video for you to enjoy. If you haven’t seen this technique before then you’re in for a treat.
We took over 600 long exposure photographs (each lasting anywhere from thirty seconds to a minute in length) and ran them all together as a movie. The animation you see was created by painting the light in front of the camera with head torches, keyring lights, sparklers etc. The final result has no post production special effects, just what came straight out the camera. We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.
Fetch the mulled wine and mince pies, kick back and enjoy our short clip.
Have a great Christmas and New Year from all here at Midgibyte

Wet & Wild
Puck's Glen
My clothes are still drying out after what can only be described as the wettest film shoot i’ve ever been on! After a few days crawling through caves, climbing trees, and splashing around Loch Eck in a powerboat, I feel as if i’ve been away to the Amazon and back, rather than Argyll Forest.
Looking through the video footage i’ve got of the stunning scenery, it certainly could have been a tropical rain forest! Its a miracle my camcorder rain cover held out, with all the punishment it took!
