(eerie music, alien screeching)
(Jake): I think I found out a way to get rid of this alien for once and for all.
Let's go!
CYSTM gave me a chance to live a lifelong dream of directing movies.
Let's get this thing off Eric.
Because every episode is basically a short film.
Master. Insert, close-up, ahh!
(crew):...two, one!
- Oh! What is that?!
(laughing)
- Oh, hi. It's me.
(Jake): One of the fun challenges was directing my fellow YouTube creators.
That's it for scene eight.
Because they do have this strong personality
that we see on camera all the time...
And then we cut back to our cinematic jib shot. - Look what I made!
Because I feel like that's me all the time.
(Jake): And they also need to portray a character in this movie that we're making
It's so thin... - But it makes a great handle!
- Yeah. (laughing)
Is it possible to de-fang a snake like you see in the movie?
- Let me put it this way. If it's a... shoot.
Looked at the wrong camera.
(Jake): I got this guys, don't worry.
Played a lot of fighting video games.
- What is that? - Me punching him on the ground.
- I nailed it, I just need to keep saying it out loud. So here we go.
(laughing)
- Bubububuh!
Uh, bazinga!
- Bang! Then...
- It's great.
- Got kicked out of Google preferred.
It's my second job, yeah.
(Jake): They always did such a great job.
- You're running out of places to hide.
- I felt scared. I was intimidated. - Yeah.
At the end, there...
(screaming)
(Jake): And we're up for anything! Success.
- Jake is a good director. He had a ton of work to do
as far as actually trying to host it,
be a director, and do a lot of the writing.
- Assume that it breathes oxygen.
- I think I've just known Jake for years at this point through YouTube stuff,
but we've never had a chance to do anything together.
Feels weird.
- An idea I'm glad we actually got to do
was that I died before the show's over.
I've seen the Alien movies. There's all these capable people,
like marines who are super tough, they have their weapons, all this stuff...
But it doesn't mean anything.
(Jake screaming) - No!
- It's this strong female character that wins.
And so I loved that idea, so that's kind of the purpose, it's that I die,
and then we have Amy take over.
Action!
- We don't need to blow it up or use a flamethrower,
we just need to cut the oxygen.
- Alright, let's go back to one.
So now I get to just focus on directing, which is very nice.
Action, Amy!
- Sorry, guys. There's only room for one in this escape pod.
And as always, thanks for watching!
- That was great. Boom, space gloves!
- Space gloves!
(Jake): Of course, things don't always go smoothly.
Cut! Shi-koo-wah!
That's for our martial arts episode.
Now what you see on screen is always the best take,
the best performance.
We might... can you see anything?
- No! - Okay.
- But that doesn't mean that all of them were great.
It's in my mouth.
What is that?!
It's in my hair!
Could you survive... Through it all, it was an amazing experience.
- Action.
- And I hope you enjoyed watching it as much as I enjoyed creating it for you.
Something like that?
By the way, that is officially a wrap on season one of CYSTM!
(cheering, triumphant music)
Wow.
