Unfortunately not. Apart from my naked eye, all I had was a phone camera.
Speaking of which:
I took a video with my phone, but it's not at all impressive. The image of the sun remained a blazing ball of light all the way through. During totality, the sky in the video darkened a little bit (but not nearly as much as it did to the naked eye), and the size of the blazing sun-ball reduced noticeably but didn't disappear (if you look closely, you can see the moon in the middle as a faint grey circle washed out by the blaze, but you wouldn't even notice that unless you were looking for it).
The only interesting things in the video are (1) Venus becomes visible as a bright dot below and to the right of the eclipse as totality is achieved, and (2) a few alarmed birds fly around chirping in a "what the hell?" kind of way as the eclipse proceeds.
