Welcome to Tellwell’s weekly Plog (photo-blog)!

Another week of filming, designing, and learning! Let’s see what we got into this week.

A behind-the-scenes view of a filming studio setup with multiple cameras, lights, and crew members. In the foreground, a person is sitting on a couch with a laptop. In the middle, three people are standing around a table discussing or preparing something. The studio has a modern and organized setup with various equipment and plants decorating the space.

Film shoot in the studio

This week, we started filming for a super fun and unique project! We’ve been gearing up to this for a while, so seeing it finally hit the production stage is so rewarding.

We spent the whole day in the Tellwell studio with the coolest set design! This is the first of a few days-worth of filming, so keep an eye out for more filming in the weeks to come!

The woman on the left is wearing a light denim shirt, and the man on the right, wearing glasses and a black shirt, is holding a clapperboard. Behind them, a sign reads 'Kenyon Noble' with the tagline 'Lumber & Hardware' and 'Know How' below it. The monitor shows various camera settings and information around the edges of the screen

DEIJ team training

We welcomed Erienne Fawcett into the office this week to lead us through DEIJ (diversity, equity, inclusion, and diversity) training. Erienne is the Coordinator of Gender and Sexuality in the Diversity & Inclusion Office at MSUM, where she creates safe spaces for students on campus.

With Erienne’s leadership, we explored intersectionality and how to put concepts into practice within our storytelling. We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for our community, clients, and coworkers, so continuing discussions within the office is important to us.

A group of people sitting in a casual meeting room with colorful, modern decor. They are seated on sofas and chairs arranged in a circle, with a coffee table in the center. A large screen on the far wall displays a video conference. The wall behind the screen features a mural with trees, a campfire, and the word 'Tellwell' in neon lights. The participants appear engaged in discussion, holding papers and notebooks.

So much photography!

When Cinematographer Jordan isn’t behind a camera, well, he’s behind a different camera! We had lots of photography opportunities this week. Jordan captured photos of Heart-N-Soul Community Cafe serving up meals for the community and took updated headshots for another client later in the week. Photography is just another method of storytelling that we love to embrace!
