Scottish Enduro Hare & Hounds | Glendearg

A documentary-style production covering the Scottish Enduro Hare & Hounds event at Glendearg, near Galashiels in the Scottish Borders.

Rather than focusing solely on racing highlights, the aim was to give viewers a fuller understanding of what it's like to attend and compete in a Scottish Enduro event. Filming began the evening before the race, capturing the preparations and atmosphere ahead of an early start.

Coverage continued from sunrise through the full race day, combining action footage, behind-the-scenes moments and extensive rider interviews. These conversations provided an opportunity to hear directly from competitors about their experiences, the challenges of the course and the people involved in the sport.

Multi-Camera Event Production

The production used a combination of DJI drone filming, Canon C300 Mark III cinematography, DJI Ronin stabilised footage and event photography.

Working as a three-person team allowed different aspects of the event to be documented simultaneously:

• Steven Gourlay: Drone operations, Canon C300 Mark III filming, rider interviews and overall production.
• Nanette: DJI Ronin camera operation, capturing stabilised ground-level footage.
• Abigail: Event photography, documenting riders, racing and the atmosphere throughout the day.

The resulting documentary brought together the racing, interviews and wider event experience, creating a film intended not just for existing enduro followers but also for viewers unfamiliar with the sport.

The project demonstrates a complete approach to motorsport event production, combining documentary storytelling, aerial cinematography, ground filming, photography and multi-camera coverage.
