the length of this process is dissapointing given how 99% of other events have photos out within a week if not sooner, along with the fact that when I handled them the event before they were ready within that week timeframe but the admin delay correlates with the experience I had when trying to publish the photos.

He's right here. The resup team wasn't able to compensate me enough for me to not lose money on the trip / for my time, so I opted to make it a vacation event. Photos as an afterthrought are true, but this is usually because they are not the responsibility of the organizers beyond "help promote the albums once they're posted". Traditional esports photography sees event organizers compensate photographers for their time and in exchange the photographers come and shoot and have albums up within a set upon amount of time, with very little administrative oversight if at all. My photos were ready within line of this but there were foreign and unexpected deliverables and variables (copy of raw unedited images, oversight on publishing times, discrepancy about watermarks) that caused there to be a delay on publishing them, albeit not more than another week or two. I don't want to cause a rift, the resup admins are trying their best, but regardless it'd be nice to see more resources pointed to the documentation of the memories of lan that take place outside the server
bearodactylHate to say it but in terms of LAN planning, as far as I've heard and seen, photos are kind of an afterthought--the event can't be run without casters, producers/cameramen, tournament organizers, etc. and there's not usually much money to go around anyways, so if something has to be neglected it's usually the photo/video stuff. Not to say this was necessarily what happened here, but it doesn't surprise me given the i69 photos took over a year as well (which afaik was mainly due to people being overburdened with regular work, and the fact that they were all on a single hard drive that nobody else had access to--I would've happily volunteered to help edit them since I shot a good chunk of them)
I've shot a good number of lans officially and unofficially and haven't gotten paid for anything (which I'm fine with, was just volunteering to give back and gain some experience, but it's hard to justify compared with regular photo gigs which are typically $50/hr at least), i know nyxia and i both considered doing this one and past resup lans but iirc there wasn't a huge amount of money available for compensation, and it's usually just more fun to play instead.
Since the community clearly cares a lot about this photo stuff, maybe we could petition for more resources to be allocated towards it for the next big tournament (or raise money if need be, like the prize pool donations), or at the very least have a pay structure that incentivizes actually delivering the photos promptly. Maybe it's worth actually paying for a dedicated editor or giving multiple people access to the files, or figuring out how things were handled at previous lans (e.g., Rewind 1 with uberchain/jas/moof iirc)
