VRX Oculus Blog (360° Documentary)

I made a lot of progress on my project this Week.  As of now, I'm going to go with a 360° Video on homelessness in Los Angeles.  It feels like a problem that much of society turns a blind eye to.

Through an event I was demoing my app at, I was invited to a Chamber of Commerce meeting.  As fate would have it, the keynote speaker was the Los Angeles County sheriff speaking on homelessness and crime in the community.  He touched on some of the m,any causes of homelessness and how the city was working to correct the [problem.  After the meeting's conclusion I spoke with him about my project and he was willing to do an interview for the project!  So in the next couple of weeks I'll have my second interview.

In order to do some research I just went straight to skid row to talk to people and see how they actually felt about the situation they were in.  While many were very reluctant to be on camera, they were usually willing to just chat with me about their situation.  As I was heading out of skid row I met a man who was willing to be interviewed and had a lot to say.  I set up a meeting for a few days later and met up with him for an interview (he actually forgot about it but finally showed up after a while).  He told me about his life, his pliht, and how skid row was where he belonged.  We had a long discussion and he gave me a lot of new insights into the difficulties the homeless face and how the programs the city was putting in place were missing the mark.

Upon parting he told me that he knew of more people that would be willing to speak about their experiences, so next week I'll be continuing the interviews and scheduling a hard interview date with the LA sheriff.

Good luck to everyone in their endeavors and I wish you abundance!!
