According to the vendor, who worked as a stand-in for Bono on the shoot, a key feature in the production was the use of reflected images from both the guitar and the sunglasses. While the crew adjusted lighting and cameras, Bono repeatedly passed his glasses to the vendor to wear, so that he could check the overall impression on the monitor. At the end of the shoot, Bono gifted the glasses to the vendor to thank him.
