Consistent flash and exposure with multiple photographers

I am now having problems with putting together an album with multiple photographers and doing WAY more work than I should be doing in post processing.

Does anyone have any tips to keeping consistent exposures with multiple photographers and multiple flashes?

On different targets at different distances? No.

If you're shooting in the same conditions where the ambient light does not change or the distance to the subject does not change, than you should be shooting in full manual with your camera and your flash. Get the exposure right with your camera, keep those settings in manual mode. Set your flash to manual. Take some shots and chimp. Keep adjusting until you nail it. This will ensure you get the same results everytime. You should also use a custom white balance as well to keep the color temp cosistent.

Currently we shot M mode but left the flash on ttl and also shot some without flash. All candids for a scholarship breakfast. It came out pretty bad. No one smiling, people turning away from the camera. 7:30am on a Sunday. Half the people didn't want to be there and the other half were still hung over.

It seems as if we needed to pick one style and not shoot bounce/flash/no flash hi key/low key/ AWB.

Consistency! eeesh soo hard. They'll never know anyways. Shot all RAW

The problem with a custom white balance in a breakfast hall is, the windows. The center of the room is all 4200k tungsten chandeliers and as you get closer to the outer perimeter of this 10,000 sq foot banquet, you get more and more ambient light and this was a very cloudy day, not to mention the ceiling was cream colored!

The 5dmk2 is rediculous with the AWB and I almost NEVER have to touch it. The 5Dmk1 was a bit off.

My wife and I shoot theatre and other events, each with our own camera, then combine the images in galleries for customers.

The first thing we do is syncronize the camera clocks before the shoot so the images can be sorted in chronological order.

Getting identical exposure just ain't gonna happen, but if you shoot RAW then you can adjust the exposure of each image for better consistency, as well as use the same white balance, contrast, saturation and sharpening for all images to get a consistent look.

That's where the expodisc would come in handy. I can get a wb reading and change my wb in less than 3 seconds.
