Sir Ridley Scott used a Galaxy S23 Ultra to shoot a short film

Ivan, 06 February 2023

Samsung released a short film on its YouTube channel. The film, titled 'Behold', is by Academy Award-winning director Sir Ridley Scott and was entirely filmed with the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The story is a little weird. It's about a man that's chased by an ill-meaning group of people. While hiding from them, he finds a horse, which he later frees. The film ends with a few poignant but ultimately positive sentiments. Here it is in full.

The entire film is shot using the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but there was a fair number of professional equipment used to aid the phone. The footage is naturally edited using professional software as well. Scott and Samsung also used the services of cinematographer Flavio Labiano.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the making of 'Behold'.
