This is often a tough task particularly with large groups across geographies and time periods with staff turnover. What has been the struggle to organize shoots with consistent look and feel will soon be replaced by pre-created poses and settings. The technology is still a few iterations away from really working for this, but it won't be too long:
The potential for this kind of capability is massive both positive and negative. It's a lot of fun, but will be one of the many privacy and potential abuse areas that will require legislation soon.
