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

FM Pride, commercials, and channeling our inner Dragon. Team Tellwell had a rad week!

A group of six people, including a young boy, smile under a Tellwell Story Co. tent at a Pride event. Several are wearing rainbow-themed shirts, one person holds a rainbow flag, and everyone looks cheerful and celebratory.

This week’s writer

I’m Duncan, Director of Production here at Tellwell and have the pleasure of writing this week’s plog. At Tellwell, I get the opportunity to lead our video team.

Tellwell Takes Pride 🌈

The Tellwell team was out in full force at FM Pride. We played bingo, filmed several events, hosted a booth at Pride In the Park, attended the parade and had an all around good time!

A young child wearing a maroon cap and green bead necklace holds a black and rainbow-colored “Tellwell Story Co + Studio” sticker toward the camera, smiling brightly in an outdoor setting.
A woman in sunglasses makes a peace sign and smiles widely while taking a selfie with a man holding a professional camera. Both wear matching T-shirts with a colorful design, standing outside in the sunshine near a large white structure.

Building the Case for a Great Commercial 🎬

We were on set again with our friends at Vogel Law Firm for another round of commercials. We’re thrilled with how the first images are looking. We made the decision to shoot these commercials on anamorphic lenses. These lenses give a more cinematic look and have a beautiful roll off and bokeh.

A bearded man in an orange jacket sits at a table in a coffee shop, speaking with two people whose faces are blurred in the foreground. Behind him are colorful paintings and people moving in the background.
A man with light facial hair smiles while sitting in a coffee shop next to a woman who is softly smiling. The window behind them lets in natural light, with blurred city reflections visible.

Back to School 🐉

We adventured around the Minnesota State Moorhead campus this week capturing several of their talented staff, coaches, and community members. We have several Dragons on our film team at Tellwell!

A film crew records a woman in a recording studio. A cameraman films with a large softbox light, another crew member holds a boom microphone, and a third adjusts a slate. Multiple screens and sound equipment are visible in the background.
A man stands smiling on a basketball court, wearing a dark Nike polo shirt with a basketball team logo. The empty bleachers and hoop are visible in the dimly lit gym behind him.
A woman stands in a professional recording studio, framed by multiple brightly lit computer monitors with audio mixing software and sound equipment surrounding her.
That wraps up this week! Keep an eye out for our next plog, coming August 22nd!
