Montgomery Gentry Video Makes History

The Montgomery Gentry duo of Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry has released a new interactive version of the video for their current hit, “Roll With Me,” exclusively online at hearsomethingcountry.com.

Using the 360-degree filming process, this marks the first short-form country music video to be seen panorama style. Viewers can watch the duo’s video from any angle they choose by panning across the screen, giving the video an entirely new look with each and every scroll. “I’ve been waiting to shoot 360 degree for years now. Finally I had the opportunity with Montgomery Gentry,” says director Steven L. Weaver. “The greatest challenge was keeping the crew and rigging out of the shots—the 360 camera rig literally sees everything!”
