Was the entire documentary filmed in real time?

Bob,

The entire movie was filmed in real time except for the scene w/ me shaving.  The film maker, Jehane Noujaim felt that it was too hard to follow me as a character because my beard was always coming off and going back on through the timeline.  As it turns out, she was right.  It's hard to brand yourself or make an impression as an unknown when your look keeps changing.

Just saw Startup.com the other night.  Enjoyed it.  My question: was the entire documentary filmed in real time as the events were happenings?
