BBAU 2025 house in Dreamworld Exhibition Centre

I feel like most of the control room will be remote if it’s only hot head cameras being used, it significantly eases their on-site operations.

There may be a small amount of staff on site to action things immediately and provide ongoing maintenance for production but it would not surprise me if the show was being edited out of Sydney with footage being stored on the cloud.

Mm. Unlikely. That’s a significant amount of data for a 24/7 show with many audio and HD video feeds, let alone comms feeds. The production facilities will be at dreamworld again. Don’t forget the Banijay job postings for Queensland for big brother. It also adds a lot of risk if their [insanely fast] internet connection drops. Even with the fastest internet, control commands to the cameras would feature a significant delay over the World Wide Web.

I would imagine it would be a full crew on site.

Anyone know what these are used for?
would make sense for them use the full space (if not already used for something else). Block the street off at the top and use the space for control rooms, production offices, dressing rooms, storage for tasks, etc.
Nice and close to the house, Stage and car park.

I don't doubt the production facilities being at Dreamworld. Unlike the behind-the-mirror stuff, I think the host in the control room is a defining look for Big Brother Australia. I totally expect to see Mel in the actual control room.

But generally speaking, remote editing is not out of the question. When Endemol rolled out a new production system based on the Microsoft Azure cloud a couple of years ago, they touted how controlling and editing can now be done completely remotely. So the technology would be there and it absolutely makes sense as well to have at least some of the work done remotely..

I would also expect Endemol to edit the shows remotely, especially based on comments like these:

Less than 100 people working on the show is not a lot. There are usually way more people involved. They've employed more than 300 people during the final season on Nine.

I'd take this as indication that there won't be much editing and post production done at Dreamworld.
