It definitely wasn't easy. I think I tried around 13 takes, went through a lot of bamboo. Got close once but the wind blew it out, and then finally had success on the last take. Something I learned is the knife edge on the bamboo piece that you stroke against (Z, don't tell Sarah, lol) has to be VERY sharp and very consistent. I had a friends "Wilson" lined up for the shoot (can you believe it, they sell them with the Wilson face on them at Big 5) but wasn't able to get it over here. Big Mahaloz to Lucas Vigor for letting me use his amazing music, "The Dark Continent - Bones of the Land". Absolutely stellar track!
