Explore the science behind what you see in movies; specifically George Miller's modern day classic, Mad Max: Fury Road. Host Jake Roper takes you on an immersive ride through the world, blending scientific exploration with narrative storytelling.

Go behind the scenes of the biggest video I’ve ever made! We’ll take a look at some of the awesome gear used in the creation of CYSTM?, like a camera rig mounted to an offroad vehicle! It’s an exciting preview of the size & scope of the inaugural Could You Survive The Movies? video.

What kind of cameras do you need to capture an explosion? And...what do you use to make a movie VS a real life explosion? Let’s take a look at the variety of high-speed cameras, the latest in thermal imaging, and camera support systems that allowed us to capture an explosion in a way that’s never been seen before!

To make a movie you need a cast. Usually it is just me but for this video, for this idea to work, I needed some more characters. Hang out with MKBHD, Rosanna Pansino, Casey Neistat and myself as we go through rehearsals, makeup and some bloopers.

Myself and Eric (Cinematographer and VFX for the video) kind of do some version of a director's commentary for the episode. I don't know. I've never done a livestream on Vsauce3 before so we will see how it goes!

On the heels of the 35th anniversary, Jake and the CYSTM crew film on the actual Back to the Future clock tower set as they bring the first episode of CYSTM to life… also, AWESOME SCIENCE!

Jake and Eric take viewers behind the curtain to show off the incredible VFX work that made CYSTM: MiB. Oh and Jake, takes them along for a ride on the terrifying (and awesome) pull stunt!

Follow Jake as he shows off the incredible sound stages used to bring CYSTM to life...plus a little peek at what it’s like getting doused with tons of marshmallow (spoiler: they didn't actually use marshmallow in the original film).

Learn about some of the awesome machines used by Jake and the CYSTM crew as they investigate if you could survive the movies...and you get to meet the woman we have to thank for Jake!

Safety is the name of the game, as Jake shows the audience what it takes to safely pull off the hair raising stunts that give CYSTM that big screen feel...plus join in on a great mystery plaguing the set - who stole the Twinkies?

Join Jake and the cast of CYSTM season 1 as they give their all to bring the amazing movies of season one to life. It's rehearsals, makeup...and bloopers. You can't have a movie without bloopers!

Join Jake as he sits down with Top Gun: Maverick director Joe Kosinski as they explore what it takes to bring the majesty of fighter jets to the screen (big & small) in a realistic way. Plus, they discuss some of the incredible technology employed in the newest Top Gun movie.

Get a glimpse of Jake’s (me) first attempt at making Jurassic Park (28 years ago!), before journeying behind the scenes of his latest version, filmed once again with his family and friends…plus some new friends he made along the way.

Meet the wide array of talented YouTube creators & makers we relied on to explore the complex world of sound and hearing (and the other scientific concepts throughout this season).

Join Jake (me) and the expansive cast of CYSTM: Harry Potter as they give their all to bring the incredible world of Harry Potter to life; each with a unique perspective and set of skills.

We use some of the most incredible scientific cameras in existence to capture amazing footage! Let’s take a look at what those cameras are and why they are so amazing…and also bloopers. There are ALWAYS bloopers.

Epic...big…amazing…not just Jake’s (ME!) beauty but also the scale of season 2. And in the quest to make season 2 more immersive, Jake (me again) throws himself into the science experiments. Check out what happens when the test dummy is Vsauce3.
