RocketJump, the production company co-founded by YouTube celebrity Freddie Wong, is going meta with a Hulu series about -- what else? -- making digital short films.

Hulu's new trailer for RocketJump: The Show, which you're seeing first on Mashable, showcases the production team behind the scenes as they create action-comedy short films. The eight-episode series, produced by RocketJump in association with Lionsgate Television, debuts Dec. 2.

The half-hour episodes will be released exclusively on Hulu each week, and the newly-created shorts will premiere exclusively on Hulu as well.

Founded in 2010, RocketJump is the brainchild of Wong, Matthew Arnold and Desmond Dolly. It's home to a catalog of hundreds of original videos -- including popular YouTube series Video Game High School -- that have gained more than 1 billion views and 7.5 million subscribers on YouTube.

The Hulu series is RocketJump’s first project to premiere exclusively off the YouTube network.

RocketJump also recently announced that it is partnering with Chinese online video website Youku Tudou to distribute and produce content in China.

The company is working alongside virtual reality startup WEVR and Santa Monica-based studio Lionsgate to create a VR film.
