FAQs

What types of event do you film?

Mainly parties and weddings, but also done hen parties, christenings, bar and bat mitzvahs, civil partnerships and corporate events.

How far in advance can I make a booking?

We do not take bookings more than 7 months before the event date. If your event is longer away than that, you’re welcome to get in touch, but we won’t go firm on a booking til nearer the date for the simple reason that we don’t always know where we’ll be in a year’s time.

Do you film anywhere in the UK?

Yes.

Do you film outside the UK?

Yes, we’ve done videos for clients all over Europe, Asia and the Americas. We love filming in all kinds of cultures and surroundings and have found that the appeal of a lip-synched music video is universal.

If I’m using a party/wedding planner, should I book through them or direct with you?

Most of our clients deal directly with us but we’re also happy to work with your party planner (and can recommend some very good ones if you’re looking).

Can I phone you to discuss a booking?

We ask that you email us first, because most days we are busy working with clients and it’s not good to have our phones going off in the middle of a job! Of course, after that we can speak by phone.

How much does a video cost?

It depends on the type of event, the number of guests, whether it’s on a weekday or weekend, the location etc … The ballpark figures for 2019 are: £1,500 for a party (21st, 50th etc) and £2,500 for a wedding. Shorter, weekday evening events are less expensive. Longer events over several days, or events taking place abroad are more.

Are there any extra costs?

Travel and accommodation (if required) are extras. We charge train tickets, air fares and taxis at cost. As far as accommodation is concerned, we will usually try to get back to London after an event, but sometimes need to stay in a local hotel or, if you have any spare room, with you or your friends.

Is there VAT on top?

No, we are below the VAT threshold so do not have to charge you VAT.

What are the payment terms?

We ask for a 25% deposit on booking and for the balance to be paid within 7 days of the film being delivered to you.

How do I pay?

The best way is bank transfer, but you can also pay by cheque. We will provide both an invoice and a receipt for payments.

Who chooses the song?

You do. But if you’re not sure, we can make suggestions. It’s important to choose a song which guests know, and which has clear, simple lyrics.

How many songs will be on my video?

Usually one song which is lip-synched (i.e. guests miming the words) and one which is background music to film footage. For longer videos, there will be additional background music.

How long do you stay?

For as long as it takes to capture the footage. For parties, this usually means we arrive an hour before the start and finish at midnight. For weddings we arrive in time for the ushers’ lunch and leave at midnight. But if we need to stay longer, we will, and there’s no extra charge.

Do you bring special lighting or camera equipment?

We bring our small handheld cameras with lights attached. They work off their own batteries, so there are no messy wires or wobbly lights.

Do all guests have to be in the video?

No, if a guest doesn’t want to be in it, then we don’t film them. We’re tactful and not over-pushy. In practice, most guests enjoy the process and love the result.

If you’re filming a wedding, do you film the ceremony inside the church?

If the church gives permission, we’ll take a long shot of the bride and groom at the altar, and capture them coming down the aisle, but we don’t usually film the whole ceremony. Remember that our videos have a music soundtrack, so the audio of the bride and groom taking their vows won’t be on it.

Do you film speeches?

Yes, we always film speeches and put them on a separate video, unedited.

How long does it take you to edit a video?

We usually have the video ready within 2 or 3 days of the event, sometimes sooner.

Can I ask for changes to the video?

Yes, and we will do our best to accommodate them. As every line of the song has to have a matching piece of footage, and each line has only been spoken by only one person, it’s difficult to take someone out and replace them with someone else!

Do you edit footage filmed by other people?

Not normally, because so much of what we do is about being at the party/wedding and editing while the memories are fresh. It’s more difficult and takes longer to edit other people’s footage. Having said that we do <em>sometimes</em> take on projects in which family and friends send in iPhone clips or still images, for editing into a video. If this is the kind of thing you want, please contact us to discuss.

How long is the finished video?

It depends on the event, but usually between 6 and 20 minutes for the main video, with speeches supplied as a second video. For longer events, the video may be up to 30 minutes.

How do you send the video to me?

We email you a link to the finished film on our website, and we post you a boxed USB stick with the film on it.

Can I download the video from your website?

Yes, we can send you a special link which allows you to download it direct to your laptop.

Are you insured?

Yes, we have public liability insurance.
Jenks&Co advertising > how it works
Where do ads appear?

When you place an ad on Jenks&Co, it appears in 2 places:

As a Clip Ad on the Home Page and Event pages

  • Clip ads are displayed in random rotation on the Home Page and on Event pages.
  • Random rotation means they are selected randomly from the pool of live ads at the time; you cannot be sure exactly when yours will appear but overall it will appear as many times as other live ads.
  • An 'Event page' is the page guests of a party or wedding go to to watch the video. A popular event will get hundreds and sometimes thousands of loads.
  • You choose how long your display ad stays live. The minimum period is 1 month and the max is 6 months.

As a full web page

In addition to the newspaper clipping, your ad has it own web page. You can see an example here:

https://jenksandco.tv/ads/900006

  • People get to the web page by clicking on the newspaper clipping.
  • They also get to it by clicking on 'See all Ads' in the main menu.
  • While space on the clipping is limited, the full page ad can have as much text and as many pictures as you want.
  • The full page ad has an online reply form. It can also print your website address and phone number.
How do I place an ad?
  • Register as a user and log in, then go the 'Create Ad' drop-down from 'ADS' in the main menu.
  • Follow Steps 1-5 of the Create Ad process. Write the text that you want to appear, upload images for your ad, decide how you want people to reply (online form, phone, email), set a deadline for replies if you want to, and click 'Submit'.
  • We'll check your ad then send you an email showing you how both the Clip Ad and the Full Page ad will look. In the email there will be a link to a PayPal invoice for the cost of the ad.
How much do ads cost and how do I pay?
  • The current cost for a one-month ad is £99. Each extra month is £25.
  • When you receive our invoice, click on the PayPal link and pay using PayPal (you don't have to have an account to use PayPal). If you don't want to go ahead, ignore our email and we will cancel the ad.
When does an ad go live and how long does it stay on the site?
  • Your ad will go live as soon as you've paid unless you have set the start date in the future in which case it will go live when that date is reached.
  • It will stay on Jenks&Co for the duration you selected (1 to 6 months). If you want it removed sooner, log in, go to 'ME', drop to 'My Ads', and click the 'Remove' button.
  • You can see how many times your clip ad and your full ad page has been loaded by going to 'My Ads' where the latest stats are reported.
How do I get replies?
  • If people reply using the online form on the ad web page, their reply will immediately be emailed to you.
  • Their replies will also be stored on your 'My Ads' page so you can see them at any time. Go to the page by logging in, clicking 'ME' in the main menu, and dropping to 'My Ads'.
