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

Even with the cold weather, Team Tellwell was productive none-the-less. Take a look at what we were up to this week!

A behind-the-scenes view of a video interview setup in a colorful and artistic indoor space. A man and a woman sit on stools, smiling and engaged in conversation while looking at the interviewer or camera. The woman wears a plaid cardigan and knee-high boots, while the man wears a gray jacket over a black shirt. Two professional video cameras with blue cables and external monitors capture the scene, and a boom microphone is positioned above them. The walls are decorated with vibrant paintings, and a gray couch is visible in the background.

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!

Freezing filming

This week, the film team took a tour of North Dakota for some filming! We made stops in Minot, Watford City, and Bismarck to capture footage for a series of videos highlighting several nonprofits. We did our best to stay warm, even though these were the coldest film shoots we have ever worked on! We had great interviews, amazing camera work, and many jokes cracked on the road. With travel gearing up here within the next few months, prepare for more tales of the road!

A behind-the-scenes look at a video shoot in an industrial-style space with exposed brick walls and large garage doors. A cameraman wearing a backpack rig films a conversation between two women at an information table covered with a black tablecloth displaying the "Serve ND" logo. One woman, wearing a red "Serve ND" t-shirt, is explaining something while gesturing towards a document, while the other woman, dressed in black, listens and smiles while holding the paper. A laptop, brochures, and other materials are spread across the table. Bright natural light comes through the windows, and colorful artwork decorates the background.
This image captures a professional interview setup in a modern, well-lit indoor space with large windows. A woman in a white shirt and blue vest sits on a chair while being interviewed. The interviewer, seen from behind, holds a sheet of paper with questions. A professional video camera is recording the scene, with a small monitor displaying the interviewee. Additional equipment, including a boom microphone and lighting, is set up for optimal audio and video quality.
This image shows a nighttime driving scene with a car dashboard displaying navigation directions. The dashboard screen shows the connected device name "Lucas Rutten's iPhone," a current speed of 58 mph, and a navigation instruction indicating 8.5 miles to the next turn onto 12th St SE. The temperature is displayed as -30°, and the time is 9:20. The road ahead is dark, with only a few distant vehicle lights visible.

Happy Birthday, Lucas!

This Thursday, we celebrated our very own Lead Project Manager Lucas’ birthday! You know how much we love office birthdays and breakfast treats, so we all gathered around the Tellwell kitchen island and shared some birthday bagels to celebrate. Another year older, another bagel fuller. Happy birthday, Lucas!

A man with short brown hair, glasses, and a beard stands in a kitchen, smiling at the camera. He is wearing a blue plaid shirt and holding a handwritten sign on blue paper that says "Happy Birthday Lucas!" In front of him on a light-colored kitchen counter are two plates filled with assorted bagels and small containers of cream cheese. The background features a modern kitchen with dark cabinets, a stainless steel refrigerator covered in magnets and photos, a stove, and various kitchen utensils.

Impact film film review

Tellfellow Ally has been hard at work on her film project, known as the Impact Film Film. This film highlights the work our film team does on Story Maker’s films, our process, and the reason behind our approach. And with a real-time feedback session, she is one step closer to finishing this project! It’s been so much fun seeing Ally create this film, from conducting interviews, capturing B-roll, and now editing the entire piece.

A group of people is gathered in a cozy, modern office lounge, watching a video on a large screen. The room features a vibrant mural with mountains, trees, and a campfire, along with a neon "Tellwell" sign. Various seating options, including sofas and armchairs, are arranged in a semi-circle. A large wall calendar labeled "The Big A** Calendar 2025" is visible in the background. Some individuals are taking notes while others are engaged in discussion. Natural light streams in through the windows, enhancing the collaborative and creative atmosphere.
That wraps up this week! Keep an eye out for our next plog, coming February 28th!
