Hello, GQ.
0:00
I'm Seth Rogan, and these are my essentials.
0:02
I could live without these things, but I'm not going to ask them to rename the whole video just for me.
0:20
There's probably no greater cliche in all of the world than an actor thinking they're a photographer.
0:27
You're around good lighting.
0:29
You're around cinematic things all day.
0:32
You work with cameras.
0:34
You get it in your head to get some cameras and to try to learn about cameras, and as you should.
0:38
I got really into panoramic cameras.
0:40
Probably the two greatest panoramic cameras of all time.
0:45
These are two different kinds of panoramic cameras.
0:46
The Widel is cool.
0:49
Jeff Bridges is like famous for using this.
0:51
What's cool is it's a purely mechanical camera.
0:54
It doesn't take any batteries or anything like that.
0:56
So, you need a light meter which is separate to use it.
1:00
And you set the stops, the frame rate using these.
1:03
You can do it at a lower frame rate.
1:05
See, this really illustrates.
1:12
That's a 1/15th of a second.
1:10
It's hard to load the film.
1:12
And you'll see there's a little tiny slit that lets the light in.
1:13
Goes across as the lens happens, and it exposes.
1:18
Taking a lot of pictures with this, I really like.
1:20
I once brought it to Saturday Night Live and took some really cool pictures backstage.
1:23
I found one with me and Steve Martin and Dave Franco and Jonah.
1:28
I just sent it to them actually because I hadn't seen it in a long time.
1:30
This is similar but different.
1:32
The Hasselblad Xpan is another panoramic camera that's very elusive and very hard to find.
1:38
Much harder to find than the Widelux actually.
1:43
Fuji manufactured the camera and then some of them were rebranded as Hasselblads.
1:43
This is one of the Fuji ones that was not rebranded.
1:43
Let me focus.
1:43
Boom.
1:43
And I'm not naturally someone with a lot of energy, so I have to, and I do a lot.
2:02
So I got to get myself there chemically.
2:04
Is caffeine a chemical?
2:04
I don't know.
2:04
I get there chemically with caffeine.
2:06
And I do pottery, and I made, I made this espresso cup myself, for myself, which is sad to make a thing for yourself.
2:15
But what defines essential more than something you made for yourself?
2:19
It says my name on there.
2:19
It says Seth.
2:21
That's my maker's mark.
2:21
And I had one made on Etsy.
2:25
How do you make your espresso?
2:27
I've experimented with having my own thing.
2:30
I played a barista in a movie once, and so I learned how to do that.
2:34
And honestly, I just, I don't have the, I don't have as much time as I would like.
2:37
What's funny, but then you go to Italy, they drink an espresso in Italy.
2:40
You would think Italians have more, I don't know, love of the game than that.
2:46
But you go to Italy, they're, they're, they're dropping espressos on your table at the fanciest restaurants.
2:52
I'm like, they like this.
2:52
It's like when you go to Jamaica, they really like Bob Marley.
2:59
So, one of my essentials, again, I don't know if it's essential, it's a, it's a bag I like.
3:03
I carry a bag around everywhere.
3:05
My dad carries a purse.
3:05
Now, you're like, "Nice man bag."
3:08
He's like, "It's a purse, it's a woman's purse."
3:10
Me and my wife, we've always made fun of my dad for wearing a purse.
3:14
We just think it's silly.
3:15
And then one day, a few years ago, I was like, "I just wish I had a bag to carry my stuff around."
3:20
And my wife was like, "You mean a purse?"
3:22
And I was like, "Oh my god, I do want a purse."
3:25
So anyway, I bought this bag.
3:30
Do you call it a murse?
3:33
I call it a bag.
3:33
I call it a bag.
3:33
But if someone's like, "Nice purse," I can't correct them because it's, I believe it is technically a purse.
3:40
I've had cologne over the years.
3:59
But then a few years ago, me and my wife, Lauren, and some friends went to Grasse, France, which is where it's like the perfume hub and cologne hub of France.
3:51
And we went to a very old, uh, I guess perfumerie called Molinard.
4:02
What you get to do there is you get to make your own like cologne or perfume, and you work with someone who's called a nose.
4:02
A sommelier for perfume is a nose.
4:02
And to become a nose, it's no joke.
4:02
You got to like blind identify like 200 smells or something like that, which seems crazy, but a nose knows.
4:02
This is my smell.
4:26
And it smells good.
4:29
And they keep your smell on file.
4:31
So, if you want to reorder your smell, which I have, they will remake your smell and then, and then send it to you.
4:38
So, I'd like to thank my nose for, for helping me make this smell.
4:42
And I think it smells good.
4:44
I don't get any compliments.
4:46
No one's ever complimented me on it, but I personally think it smells good.
4:51
I lose a ton of lighters, and I find that if I have a lighter that's like in any way distinguished from a normal Bic lighter, I'm much less likely to lose it.
5:01
This is a lighter.
5:01
It's called the Douglas field lighter.
5:01
It's like a very old American company.
5:01
It's from the 30s, I think.
5:01
It's very easy, simple lighter.
5:01
Screws shut on the bottom.
5:01
You put in fluid, and it doesn't leak out.
5:01
Zippos kind of don't actually seal, and so the fluid evaporates very quickly.
5:01
These ones actually seal, and so the fluid stays in them much better.
5:01
And like the flick and close is very satisfying, and it works really well.
5:01
And look at that.
5:01
Look at that.
5:01
That one wasn't a good one.
5:01
That was on me.
5:01
I don't blame Douglas for that.
5:01
This is an ashtray.
5:01
I made this ashtray.
5:01
I'm not allowed to talk about what I use this ashtray for.
5:01
Apparently, when I moved into my own place, I wanted nice ashtrays around.
5:01
I smoke a lot, so it would be good to have good ashtrays around.
5:01
I found myself buying vintage ashtrays, things like that.
5:01
And around the same time, I started doing pottery.
5:54
And so, I, I started making my own ashtrays.
5:55
And I actually hold the patent on this design for an ashtray, which I'm very proud of.
6:03
I don't know how many comedians are also patent holders.
6:04
Can't imagine that many.
6:07
I wasn't sure I had truly invented a thing, but I did.
6:10
Uh, it seemed, or at least the US patent office agreed with me that I did.
6:14
And so I hold the patent for this design of ashtray, a cylindrical ashtray with a notch that, you know, is oriented as such in the ashtray.
6:30
This one is raku fired, which is a very temperamental way of firing something.
6:30
You take it out of the kiln while it's still like red hot, and then you put it in a bucket with a bunch of newspaper and stuff like that, and it creates like very unique, specific, um, glaze patterns, and you never quite know what you're going to get, which is what's kind of cool about it.
6:44
And also very frustrating about it at times, but I made this a few years ago, and, and I, and I love how it turned out, and I use this every day.
6:56
Making Movies by Sidney Lumet.
7:01
I've probably read seven books in my life.
7:01
This is one of them.
7:01
The other ones being the Bible six times.
7:01
You know, the filmmaking process is hard to explain.
7:13
I think directors especially like to create an air of mystery, um, and to sort of, you know, mystify the process overall.
7:25
And this book by Sidney Lumet, who's one of the all-time great filmmakers.
7:25
He made Dog Day Afternoon, made Network, The Accused, some of the great films of all time, 12 Angry Men, The Whiz.
7:35
Come on.
7:35
If anyone is ever thinking about making a movie or directing a movie, I cannot recommend they read this book more.
7:40
He really breaks down his entire process.
7:42
And it's not everyone's process, but he breaks down his process in a way that is so digestible and so methodical and really demystifying.
7:50
And it talks about how he creates the tone of his movies and the style of his movies and the look of his movies.
7:56
And it was written at a time that maybe isn't our time.
8:00
So, you know, don't get mad at me if you read some things in here that maybe you feel are a little outdated.
8:06
But in general, there's great stuff in this book, and I can't recommend it enough.
8:14
These are pottery trimming tools.
8:14
If you don't do pottery, feel free to zone out now.
8:19
But if you do do pottery, when you throw a thing, throw, that's when you make a thing on the pottery wheel.
8:25
You form the top.
8:25
I can show you using this.
8:29
And if I was to throw this, the bottom of this would sort of be a lot of excess clay here at the bottom.
8:35
So, what you do is you wait for the thing to dry out and become what they call leather hard, which sounds like a great porn movie.
8:43
It's also the how, how hard you want your pottery to be, and how dry you want your pottery to be when you trim it.
8:51
And so, what you do is you take your thing and you put it upside down.
8:54
This is how you make like the foot of the thing that you have thrown, and it spins upside down, and you use trimming tools to trim the excess clay off and shape the foot.
9:05
And it's really hard to find good trimming tools.
9:07
There are companies that make them, but like ones that are really sharp and very specific shapes are kind of hard to come by, and again, are made by like people who sell them on Etsy and on their own online shops.
9:20
These are called RD.
9:20
They're very delicate.
9:26
So, if you buy these pottery tools, you have to be very careful with them because they're made of something called tungsten carbide, which is very sharp but incredibly fragile, and it essentially shatters like glass.
9:22
So, if I was to drop this off the table, for example, it would break.
9:36
It would shatter either of these.
9:38
So, you have to take care of your pottery tools.
9:40
But, if you're looking for good pottery tools, these are the ones to get.
9:48
If you do ceramics, then, then listen up.
9:52
The bat is a thing you put on the pottery wheel to make your work easy to remove.
9:57
And there's a lot of different bats.
9:59
So, you throw a bowl, and it's hard to get it off the wheel if you've thrown it on the wheel.
10:03
And so, you put a thing on the wheel that comes off the wheel itself.
10:10
So, you're not just with this wet piece of clay that you just made because in touching it, you can warp it and misshape it, which is what you don't want to do, which is why you have a bat system.
10:15
I've gone through many bat systems in my life.
10:17
I've bought a lot of different bat systems.
10:19
This is by far the best bat system.
10:23
This guy makes them.
10:26
It's called Shin Tools.
10:26
The pottery industry is a weird one because a lot of the tools are very specific and they're not mass-produced.
10:32
They're made by like individual people who sell them on Etsy.
10:35
And so this guy sells these on Etsy.
10:37
And what's great about this is like it's metal, and the way it fits on the wheel is seamless.
10:42
And then these, you, you would throw on this thing, and then you remove the whole thing, and you, it comes with a bunch of these.
10:49
So if I threw a mug or something, I would, and it, and it like fits perfect.
10:57
And these don't warp at all because they're like, you know, titanium or something like that, and it just fits unbelievably well.
11:01
It's incredibly flat.
11:03
Comes with a bunch of these when you buy it.
11:04
Buy even more.
11:04
If you're a ceramicist looking for a good bat system, I recommend this one.
11:14
I got a lot of stuff made by the Japanese on this.
11:20
Take that as you will.
11:20
I don't mean to generalize, but the Japanese make good things.
11:24
If you're mad about that generalization, you.
11:28
It's called a Zebra.
11:28
That's the brand, the pen brand.
11:30
Zebra pen.
11:32
Zebra.
11:32
Zebra makes this pen.
11:32
I like it because it's tiny.
11:37
And as a writer, it's good to have a pen on me.
11:37
I'm jotting things down.
11:37
If I'm acting, I don't always have my phone in my pocket.
11:37
I sometimes a thing will come up, and you want to really remember it.
11:42
You want to make a note.
11:45
You want to hand it to someone.
11:46
And this is the pen I choose to have on me, mostly because it's tiny.
11:53
Tiny little pen.
11:53
Doesn't create a big pen bulge in your pocket.
11:53
Doesn't stick out.
11:53
Doesn't break.
11:53
Don't get ink in your pants.
11:53
It's a good solid pen made by good solid Japanese people.
