Eric: This week on backyard FX, we are joined by Mike from the film group naked castle.
Now mike why am I making you a sandwich costume?
Mike: Well, Erick, a while back, naked castle wrote a script calling for a tiny sandwich and a sandwich that is larger than life. We managed to pull off making the tiny sandwich out of clay but we are way too lazy to figure out how to make a larger than life size one.
Eric: I do like sandwiches.
Mike: I am glad.
Eric: Good.
Mike: Great. Okay, do you want to spin the wheel?
Eric: Let us spin the wheel.
Yes! Forty dollars!
Mike: Forty dollars.
Eric: Mike, maybe no one told you but you are in the show and the wheel tells us a price we jump up and say whooo
Mike: Why?
Eric: Jump up and say whoo or you are not going to get your fucking costume.

After talking with the guys from naked castle and receiving this detailed sketch I decided to go with cardboard foam and spray paint as the main element of our humongo sandwich costume.
We are back here at Bob’s foam factory and this time we get to meet Bob!
How are you doing Bob?
Bob: I am doing great.
Eric: And how long have you been in business here?
Bob: We opened here 1979.
Eric: Do you guys get a lot of creative people, people who make puppets or anything back here?
Bob: Everyday if somebody is doing something special.
Eric: What do you think makes foam so awesome?
Bob: Well it is easy to work with. You can cut it, you can glue it you can shape it. There is a lot of things you can do with it.

Man1: They say size does not matter but wait until you get a load of this. I speak of course of my first ever video camera. Look at it, it is enormous! It does not even have a flip out screen just this weird R2-D2 eye but video cameras are not like limited edition star wars action figures. They are not supposed to be kept in the original plastic wrapper and admired from afar. They are just tools that get the job done and a small inexpensive camera that you can take everywhere with you will always make better videos than some hanging HD, imac monstrosity that you are scared to take out of the house.

Eric: Small cardboard and free paint sticks provide the base. Next we are going to glue on some stick of foam as crust. Add a multi grain paint job and you got a big old piece of bread. Now I just finished the bread and I want to see what Mike thinks.
Shawn summon him!
Mike check this out I just finished the bread what do you think man?
Mike: This is it?
Eric: I finished the bread!
Mike: You should be done when you call me.
Eric: It is a big project. Look I finished the bread! The bread!
The rest of our sandwich is just foam. Cut and painted to order. Stack it as a regular sandwich using glue, add a face ad then Bam!
Now remember you can always get detailed project plans at IndyMogul.com/blog but for now, enjoy the test film.

Get over here I am going to!
