Welcome to Tellwell’s weekly Plog (photo-blog)!
We did some learning, we did some working, and we did some welcoming this week. Let’s see what went down at Tellwell!
This week’s writer
Film Team Ed-Venture
The film team started the week off with an Ed-Venture (Education Adventure)! On Monday, we spent some time in the studio practicing our on-the-spot interview skills and testing out new camera & lighting techniques. We then started our Tuesday morning with coffee and a bite at Brewhalla, then made our way over to Railyard Offices for some teaching and learning.
Each member of the team created a presentation to teach something we have been working on lately! We each learned how to budget film projects, the importance of combining film & photography on shoots, how to write SEO-driven blog content, and the importance of hiding lav mics. An array of subjects that left us all with some new knowledge. Great work, film team!
AAF-ND Lunch-And-Learn!
The entire team attended this month’s AAF-ND lunch event, “10 Social Media Trends to Track in 2025” with featured speaker Arik Hanson. We all learned so much about what is trending, the changes being made within the space, and how to get the most out of our social media presence. It was such an intriguing and fun conversation to be a part of, we can’t wait to start implementing some of the things we learned!
Welcome, Jenny!
We have a new face around the office! Say hello to Jenny, our new Story Maker Success Manager! She will be growing and maintaining Story Maker relationships, making sure they are strong, consistent, and built on trust.
When asked what she was excited about when it comes to joining our team, this is what Jenny shared:
“I’m thrilled to step into this new position, get to know and build strong relationships with the incredible Tellwell Storymakers, and represent Tellwell in the community as a brand ambassador and storymaker recruiter. I can’t wait to be part of such a passionate and inspiring team!”
Along with her excitement, she did give us a heads-up:
“I am a jokester and have been known to bust out a cartwheel or dance move randomly so beware, you have been warned.”
She spent her first few days adjusting to the office, decorating her desk, and spending one-on-one time with several team members. We are beyond excited and so lucky to have her join our team, welcome Jenny!
Quiet on set!
The film team was split into two groups this week, covering some ground across the state. One group spent the day in Bismarck at the ND State Capitol for Afterschool Day On The Hill! This event showcases afterschool programs serving youth throughout the state. B-roll was captured and interviews were conducted, such a successful day!
The other group spent time locally in Fargo, conducting the final interview and some additional B-roll sequences for a super exciting film that will be coming soon. Next stop: post-production!
With production gearing up for several projects, the film team will be out and about more often so get excited for behind-the-scenes photos!
