BMG will also roll out a REMI mobile unit to the sporting event that will include an EIC, Video Engineer, Camera Operators, A-2 and Utilities. The rest of the crew can be located anywhere in the world, as long as they have a strong internet connection. Since February of 2020, BMG has been producing an average of 70 hours of content with this workflow, leveraging robust and priority systems designed by BMG's Systems Integration Division. This practice enables BMG to tap into the best talent to produce world class content for our clients. All while doing it in a cost-effective manner.
