Celebrations, film shoots, and shenanigans – oh my! Let’s dive into what happened this week at Tellwell!

This week’s writer

Hey readers, it’s Kari! I’m the video content specialist here at Tellwell and I have the pleasure of writing this week’s plog. As part of the film team, I conduct interviews, direct talent, write storylines, and so much more! Let’s get into it!

Birthday celebrations! 🎉

To start off the week, we celebrated Jordan’s birthday! You know Team Tellwell loves sharing a treat together (Connection Before Content). We all huddled around the kitchen island and shared some Sandy’s Donuts in honor of our incredibly talented cinematographer. Here’s to another trip around the sun, Jordan!

A group of seven people gathered around a kitchen island in a modern, open office space, smiling at the camera. One person holds a colorful handwritten sign that says 'Happy Birthday!' while others enjoy donuts. The atmosphere is cheerful and celebratory.

An evening on the lake 🌅

This week, we got to capture a beautiful sunset on the lake to wrap filming on a commercial for our friends at Vogel Law Firm! The lake was calm, the sun was shining, and the shots were just what we envisioned. Keep an eye out for this commercial in the future!

Sending off Lineth ✨

This Thursday marked the end of Lineth’s summer internship with us and let’s just say, we’re definitely going to miss her! She was such a fun addition to our design team and the Tellwell team as a whole. She brought so many fresh and fun ideas! What better way to end a sweet summer than with a sweet treat as a team. Good luck with your next chapter, Lineth!

A group of four women pose for a photo. One woman is holding a poster that reads “Lineth, we will miss you! Love Team Tellwell.” They are in a modern office setting. There is an orange box of Sandy’s Donuts in the foreground.

Another day on campus 📚

The film team headed back to Minnesota State Moorhead’s campus for additional filming this week! We went all around campus to capture scripted lines, campus B-roll, and student life. Thursday was also move in day, so it was fun to reminisce on our own memories as college kids. We even ran into a friend of Team Tellwell – Jake! He was featured in one of Moorhead’s commercials last year. It’s always fun to run into old connections!

A small film crew is recording a man standing outside on a sidewalk between brick buildings. The man being filmed wears a gray blazer and glasses, smiling toward the camera. One crew member holds a boom microphone above him, another operates a large professional camera on a tripod slider, and a third stands nearby assisting. Equipment bags and gear are visible in the foreground, while the background shows a building labeled 'KISE COMMONS,' trees, and red outdoor chairs.
A man in a black shirt and cap crouches on the grass, adjusting a camera mounted on a track slider. He is filming outside a brick building with large windows and a red 'M Foundation' logo on the wall. In front of him, there is a landscaped area with tall grasses, yellow flowers, and a large engraved stone. The glass doors of the building reflect trees from across the street under a partly cloudy sky.
Three men pose for a photo. There are stadium bleachers in the background, suggesting they are at a football field.
That wraps up this week! Keep an eye out for our next plog, coming August 29th!

He is holding a large round gold reflector above his head, balancing it like a giant hat while smiling slightly. The setup is outdoors on a sidewalk, with leafy green trees and parked cars in the background. Equipment bags and cases are on the ground nearby.
