Being a human tripod

Recently I had the pleasure of helping out a friend, he went to film a gig, forgot his tripod. So invited me over to help him film.
I am not the greatest person to do it, I probably didn't help out much, but it was a fun experience.
You could tell that I don't do it often because my arms were aching for a few days afterwards from holding the camera up.
He set all the settings and everything so I don't have to worry about much, we went over what kinds of shots he wanted to get, and we got on with it.
I quickly realized how difficult it is because there were quite a few people around I got a lot of unwanted things in the shots and there were people wanting to squeeze past, people pushing past me, very rude. I worried a lot about someone hitting the camera by accident, or spilling their drinks on it it was actually a stressful process D:
To sum up, it was difficult, and stressful, and I'm not really a fan, and I'm glad I didn't get into film. But it's an experience, I suppose if I never tried it I'd possibly regret it in the future!
