B-Roll Shoot for the Mary Lou Williams Center

Yesterday (November 29th, 2008), I shot some B-roll for the Mary Lou Williams Center documentary. Steve Milligan was the cinematographer and Kevin Wu, Duke ‘11, was the camera assistant.

I’ll upload some footage soon. I had been wanting to work with Steve for a while now so I’m glad that we were finally able to make it happen.
