Von Miller for Zamst

Von Miller by James Drake Films, Denver Video Production


Shoot with Von Miller for Zamst. Von Miller is a talented linebacker for the Denver Broncos with huge promise and won the 2012 Defensive Rookie of the Year award. The goal of this shoot was to showcase Zamst products and a workout with Von. We shot on Canon DSLRs for the stills section and the Red Epic for the commercial portion. My job was DP, with a touch of producing to pull last minute logistics together.

Some selects from the 5D:

We’d like to thank Fred “Boom Boom” Roumbanis, Josh Polfer, and Tommy Jonovich for their cooperation and patience as we captured each shot.
