Duncan Barbour - PT 2: Defenders as Camera Cars in Filmmaking


Listen Later

Before we dive into our guest segment, Steve and Ike are talking about the recent TReK event, where journalists and dealers tested the Land Rover Defender 130s off-road capabilities in Texas. Through various challenges, including blindfolded driving and casualty evacuation drills, the Defender showcased its adeptness despite its large size. The event, marked by camaraderie and competition, helped highlight the vehicle's robust features while providing an adventurous experience for the participants​.Then, we’re talking Guernsey Armored Defender, and the EV Defender in Slovakia.
For our guest segment, it’s the riveting second part of our conversation with Duncan Barbour, the adeptness of Barbour All Terrain Tracking in the world of filmmaking shines through. After a riveting career on Camel Trophy, Duncan pivoted into the world of camera cars, and built some of the world’s premiere purpose built camera vehicles. Starting with Braveheart, Duncan was at the forefront of stabilized camera car technology. Listen to Steve and Duncan discuss the infamous Battle of Winterfell scenes, and the use of his custom built Vampyre Bat to film one of the most epic battle sequences ever captured on film.
