The main challenge in filming was in communicating with the Maasai men, as they did not speak English. But their easy going nature allowed them to enjoy the game as we filmed them. The bells in the background are from their cows and goats grazing around them.

Hey Kartik,
The filming took about 4 hours during which the Masai men must have played the game at least 12 times. It was hot and dry, but they had fun and we had plenty to drink... But they are a tough folk so it was okay. It was fun working with them.
Cheers,
Goor.

Hi Goor! that was fantastic! The tension and fun of the game supersede the language barrier. It is very enjoyable! btw, how many different games did you film (actually, were all the images from one game itself?)?
again, great stuff!
