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

On the road, in the air, and at the office: What a jam packed week for Team Tellwell! Read on to see what we got up to.

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!

Catching flights & footage ✈️

Another week filled with film shoots for the team! The film team traveled to FIVE different states to create FIVE different films, that must be some kind of record!

Two photos of a videographer filming with a professional camera rig. In the top photo, the videographer is indoors, capturing an interview setup with a woman speaking on camera in a cozy living room. In the bottom photo, the same videographer films a colorful mural on a brick building that says "Collinsville, Illinois, Route 66" with a red classic car and a bottle-shaped structure.

We had film shoots in Colorado, Arizona, Illinois, North Dakota, and North Carolina, covering almost every region of the country. From B-roll to interviews, working hard on shoots to playing hard in the down time, we had a super rewarding week getting to create some amazing stories with our Story Makers. With the next few weeks in-office for this team, it’s time to dive deep into post-production before our next bout of travel.

Two behind-the-scenes photos of a video production team at work. In the top photo, a professional interview is being filmed in a modern kitchen, with cameras, lighting, and boom mics pointed at a man seated at a counter. Two crew members monitor the shoot, one wearing headphones. In the bottom photo, two team members are standing on a baseball field—one holding a camera rig, wearing a Tellwell shirt and hat, and the other smiling at the camera with sunglasses on.

The camera monitor displays the shot being captured. In the bottom image, a film crew is on a baseball field capturing footage of a team huddle. One videographer holds a shoulder rig while another team member stands nearby with a DSLR camera, focused on the group of uniformed players.

Attending Ally’s artist talk 🎬

This week, Tellfellow Ally had her student artist talk and we had a few team members attend! Supporting her in her educational adventures is so fun for us and we are so appreciative of her hard work with Tellwell so we wanted to return the favor by showing up for her. Congrats on a great artist talk, Ally!

Left side: A photo of three smiling women standing together indoors at what appears to be an art or student showcase. The woman in the middle is wearing a bright yellow dress and is the focal point of the image. The two women on either side are casually dressed and are standing close, showing support and happiness. There are other people and artworks visible in the background. Right side: A close-up of a printed biography on the wall titled "ALLISON" with a small photo of a woman holding a camera. The bio describes Allison Jesse as a content creator specializing in videography, graphic design, and photography. It highlights her work with Tellwell Studio, her documentary projects, and her passion for visual storytelling. It mentions her interests in sunshine, thrifting, and spending time with friends and family. She is set to graduate from North Dakota State University in Spring 2025 with degrees in Graphic Design and Film Production, and plans to continue her work in Fargo, ND.
A girl with red hair and a yellow dress stands in front of a TV screen holding note cards, appearing to be presenting to a group. The wall reads “To Be A Baccalaureate” with additional text underneath. This appears to be in an art gallery.

WellTold sneak peak!

Did you know WellTold is NEXT WEEK? Time to get excited!

Next Thursday, mission-driven leaders will gather in Fargo for a transformative conference where powerful missions meet masterful storytelling! We’ve sold out our in-person experiences and will have 70+ virtual attendees (woohoo)! We are so excited to have a “stuffing party” this week, preparing all the goodies that come along with the experience! Here’s a fun little sneak peak of what is included, thanks to BrandFolk for the WellTold branded goodies!

A tote bag that reads “Contains Great Stories & Occasionally Snacks” sits on a green chair. The background has a mural of a campfire scene along with a Tellwell neon sign. Inside the tote bag is a cardboard squirrel and a chocolate bar that reads “A Taste of What’s to Come”.
That wraps up this week! Keep an eye out for our next plog, coming April 25th! ✌🏼
