eImage spent a week in Northern California documenting the work of government agencies, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations, as well as capturing the stories of people currently experiencing homelessness, or those who have been helped out of homelessness by various organizations. To create an “honest” documentary, to be totally mobile and to keep to the limited budget, we chose to shoot all B-roll in a cinéma vérité style with several hand-held cameras. Interviews are done with a tripod-mounted camera and appropriate lighting. A three-person crew handled the entire project. The biggest challenge was pre-production of coordinating the story and the shooting schedule with so many participants spread over such a large area. Thanks to everyone’s enthusiasm, at the last minute we ended up with even more shooting opportunities than we could cover with a locked-in schedule. It was a fun, exhausting project with results we are pleased with.
