THE MAKING OF A DUETTO TV COMMERCIAL (TAKE TWO)
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
Last month some members of the Turkey Hill team and our advertising agency went on a road trip through Lancaster County to scout locations to be used in our upcoming Duetto TV commercial. The stars of the commercial will be cows and they’ll be featured grazing in a pasture with a farmhouse and scenery in the background.
We looked at 10 different farms during our trip, all of which were located relatively close to each other (and the dairy) in Manor Township in Lancaster County. All of the locations we visited were beautiful, which should come as no surprise to anyone who lives in Lancaster County or has visited it. Overall, we were looking for a farm that looks somewhat like the one featured on our logo, which means a white barn and white farmhouse.
By the end of the day, we had found the perfect farmhouse for the commercial and the perfect barn. We also saw the perfect silos (those tall cylindrical structures used to store grain or corn). Unfortunately, all of those pieces were on different farms. We sort of assumed that would happen, so we’re going to capture footage of several different locations and piece them together during the editing process to create “the perfect farm.” Some members of the team referred to it as a “Frankenfarm.” The finished commercial will actually include scenery from eight different Lancaster County farms. Trust us, even though it sounds crazy, when you see the final result in June, our piecework will be undetectable!
Below is a photo from our location scouting session. This barn was a favorite of the team and will likely be the one featured in the commercial.
Next up in our “Making of” series: Filming real, live cows in a TV studio. Look for that entry next Monday.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
