Blood Vlogs Gunshot Test!

As many of you know, The Bloodshed Brothers post a new vlog a few times every week.  This week, they were kind enough to display some test footage for our upcoming shoot.

At 0:50 into the video, Jeromy demonstrates a test for a new gunshot effect we're trying in Episode 4.  As usual, we try our best to do everything practical.  Though, that was because we didn't have a digital effects guru in the past.  Now, we do.  Still, there's something fun about doing it yourself.  After the test, stay for the cookies and Captain Morgan story.

Episode 2: Killing The Dead

Oh man, what an odyssey Episode 2: Killing The Dead has been.  I won't get into the fine details of it yet, but let's just say that this has been a long time coming.  Fortunately,  the future episodes won't take so long to come out, we promise.  Would you believe that we've had this footage shot since August?  August!  And that was the second time shooting the scene.  The first time was in MAY!  Ironically, the Thanksgiving and Christmas Episodes were shot long after this one.

Fear not, dear fans, it won't happen again.  Episode 3: Actually Killing The Dead will air FEBRUARY 25, 2011.  It is truly as awesome as the name implies.  I know.  It's a month.  It's a hell of a lot better than two months.  We've learned a lot during the filming of Episode Two.  We'll be taking these lessons and applying them towards the production of future episodes, which will hopefully make the whole process quicker and more streamlined.  Almost as streamlined as Wes has gotten.  Literally.  Have you seen Wes lately?  No?  Message him on Facebook; ask for that sexy nude picture he makes us all admire (then, for giggles, ask for his Thor Picture).  Dude's getting sexier by the minute.  He's getting all Brad Pitt on our ass.

We have a lot of fun coming your way.  Stay tuned to the new website (huge shout out and major thanks to Mr. Patrick "9 Ball" Roach).  For now, watch the damn episode and get those number counts up there.  Make sure to tell your friends, enemies, family members, random person on the street, or (especially) high paid studio executives looking for the next awesome thing (*wink*).

Holy Crap! It's The New Matt & Wes Website

Welcome to the brand new, mobile device friendly website for the greatest unknown web series in all of the interwebs . . . . . Matt & Wes vs. The Zombie Apocalypse!

We hope you like the new site.  With the release of the second episode of Matt & Wes, we decided to overhaul our existing site so that it would be easier for you, our faithful fans, to access all of the content we have available for you.  This includes the blog you're reading now, behind-the-scenes photos, episodes of the series (of course) and more.

Be sure to check out our Twitter feed, which you can see in the upper right-hand corner of every page.  Also, don't forget to vote for your favorite zombie-killing weapon in our poll.  Keep an eye on those polls as they will change often.

We also have the web comic that started it all on its very own page.  There will be new comics coming too, so be sure to check back there in every now and then.

For now, please feel free to wander around and let us know what you think of the place. You can send all of your feedback and comments to MattAndWesVsZombies@gmail.com.
