This week’s spooky scribe

Hey there, ghouls and ghosts, it’s Kari! I’m the video content specialist here at Tellwell, and I’ve been called from the shadows to haunt this week’s plog. On the film team, I stir up interviews, direct our spooky stars, weave storylines, and brew a little creative mischief along the way. Ready to creep through the week with me? Let’s go!

We’ve got spirit, how ‘bout you? 🎉

We closed out October with some eerie excitement during our Hallo-HoCo Week! The office was alive with playful twists on some of our favorite themes: Tellwell Gear Day, Nowhere Else To Wear It Day, Fan Day, Band/Graphic Tee Day, and Extracurriculars Day. Tellwellians brought their own spirited flair to every outfit. After all, a little mischief and fun can go a long way!

A collage titled “Tellwell Yearbook – Spirit Week, Fall 2025” shows Tellwell team members dressed in various costumes for a themed spirit week. The background is bright green with small icons of sports and music. The main group photo features nine people posing enthusiastically in front of a black wall — including a skier, cheerleader, hockey player, runner, musician, and others in creative outfits, plus a corgi wearing a safety vest. Smaller portraits below label each person: Matt P. with a saxophone, Jordan R. in a horror mask, Jenny J. with a violin, Lucas R. holding an Evil Dead book, Jen K. in ski gear, Kari H. in a letterman jacket and goggles, Megan M. in hockey gear, Annie W. dressed as a runner, and Sandie K. in a red cheer uniform.

Riley Mack was back! 🙌🏼

No, that’s not an apparition, Riley was really here in the office! Usually a virtual presence, it was thrilling to have him wandering the halls in person for the first part of the week. This was also his first time in the office since our big move! The last time he roamed these spaces, the building was still bare bones, so seeing it alive and in action was a treat.

Why did Riley venture into our lair, you ask? For the Senior Retreat, of course! The senior team spent the second half of Monday connecting, planning, and conjuring ideas for the future of Tellwell. Having such dedicated leaders among us is truly a gift, and we can’t wait to see the magic they bring to life.

Lights, camera, and more lights! 💫

Another week, another spellbinding shoot in the new studio! This time, we had fun experimenting with lighting effects and the results were downright enchanting. To match the theme of an upcoming event, we went all out with the cinematic vibes. This footage will make a fantastic addition to the film premiering next month, so keep your eyes peeled, you won’t want to miss it!

A visit from Alexandria Tech 🎨

This week, we had some bright young spirits from Alexandria Tech wandering through the Tellwell office! They got a peek behind the curtain at our team, our projects, and what life could look like for aspiring designers. We love opening our doors to curious minds and sharing a little of our magic. With lively discussions, design examples, and plenty of questions, we left feeling inspired by the next generation of creative souls.
