Is this the footage you did with your old camera? The quality isn't really the best but I believe you're using the Sony camera now. I really like the shots where the co-opers gesture to the camera like it's Igby. I like seeing the different faces. Maybe if you're having a hard time getting shots of the cat like you had mentioned earlier then you could get some interviews with the individuals at the co-op and have them talk about Igby and his sometimes reclusive nature.

I agree with the POV shots, those are pretty interesting.

I know you're planning on changing subjects, so I won't comment too much on this footage. However, one thing I've noticed about your shooting style is that's it's really dynamic, but I wonder if it's too dynamic. Have you had trouble editing your footage together in the past? It doesn't seem that you stay long enough on anything to use it as a cutaway. I wanted to stay longer on the cat, or longer on the POVs, the frame always felt unstable. That can be a good creative choice in some cases, if you're trying to convey that emotion in a certain scene for example. But I worry about it being the only style in your doc. I would try holding on your subjects more, and more steadily. Maybe even throw the camera on a tripod for giggles.
