I'll leave it up to demetria656 to contact you if she wants to help. She was the only person who contacted me directly when I said that I needed someone to take over the shoot. As for the order of Photos, here's my advice.
1. Start with the Photoshoot Order list from last year.
2. Make an updated list of the countries/characters that have all said they are coming. Organize them in such a way that you can get a good grasp of what Photos you can add/eliminate. For example, start your list with all the Allies (i.e., all Americas, Englands, ect), then the Axis powers, and so on. If you realize that you don't have enough people from a particular group (maybe there are no Baltics or Nordics coming, or maybe only 1 or 2), then eliminate that Photo or find a way to incorporate those 1-2 people elsewhere. Also, when listing cosplayers who are cosplaying a certain country/character, pay attention to what version they are doing. If you have over 4 people doing Rev. War versions of America, England, ect, then you may want to include a Rev. War Photo.
3. Once you've come up with your Photoshoot Order, double-check to make sure you've included every cosplayer....sometimes countries such as Egypt or other minor countries get left out when one sticks to the basic Axis/Allies/Europe/Americas Photogrouping.
4. Start with a group shot, end with a group shot. People show up late and also cut out early.
5. The day of the shoot, take a good look at who actually shows up. Modify your Photogrouping according to that.
I hope you have plenty of help....Hetalia is such a big gathering....as long as you have a good plan for dealing with the crowd and noise, and you're organized, things should run smoothly and everyone will have a good time. ;D
