My god, I hope they asked rather than demanded. Doing a video is even
more demanding in many ways as you are working full time and holding
an often heavy piece of gear steady for long periods. Last time I did
it as a favour for a friend with family overseas, I ended up drenched
in sweat, stressed out and I didn't enjoy the wedding one bit as they
wanted 'everything.' Hard work.
I'd have been tempted to politely hand it back and say 'sorry, I
thought I was a guest?'
