The second screen show consisted of social media content and graphics that tied into the Oscars broadcast, including facts and trivia about the major nominees. BMG was responsible for all on-site technical management, production and editorial staffing, managing redundant transmissions – including on-site encoding, lighting design, creative design and social integration. The BMG team created all show graphics for the live production, including all social media posts, and developed the overall social integration strategy, both leading up to the live program and during the live watch party.
BMG hired and managed the editorial team, including editors, producers and field crews. Our team of 5 on-site editors cut footage in real-time from the Oscars broadcast and previously recorded red carpet footage that was captured by our remote ENG crew.

BMG helped to facilitate a partnership with Twitter as well as the venue selection.
