Seth Rogen Reveals The Most Challenging Scenes In An American Pickle To Film - CinemaBlend

As complicated as the normal filmmaking process is, making a feature this way only increases the complexity, and as I recently learned talking with Seth Rogen, it makes what would otherwise be simple scenes into sincere challenges.

In the making of An American Pickle, the production made use of doubles where possible in the filming of scenes featuring Ben and Herschel together (such as conversations featuring over-the-shoulder shots), but nothing sells the fun of a dual role performance like seeing the two characters occupy the same frame, and the movie didn’t exactly have a budget that would allow the creation of a totally CGI Seth Rogen.

Comedy is all about timing, and in the making of An American Pickle Seth Rogen essentially had to study his own pacing to ensure that his performances would sync.

Having shot his entire performance as Herschel before tackling the Ben scenes/angles, Rogen had the opportunity during the latter half of production on An American Pickle to watch the material roughly cut together while on set, and it delighted him to see the way it was all coming together.
