" Cut " bellowed out director DW Griffiths "Thatsa a wrap,lets call it a day"
You heaved a sigh of relief.These rubber anthro dragoness costumes really were a furnace for the
actor inside them.
Your strip out of the costume,which is so big and heavy only a strong ablebodied 1910's
farmhand like you could act in one,and join the rest of the cast and crew around the one genuine
dragoness amongst the lot of you,a fairly big girl who the suit is modelled after.
Alessa,thats her name,is the technical and character advisor to DW Griffiths latest
nickelodeon " General Robert E Lee and Dragons of the South"
Alessa had complained about the cold,and had cuddled up in the firebox of the old steam
locomotive for much of todays shoot.
However she's out now and gives you a wink before turning to the voice actor,one Charles Chaplin,
and gives him pointers on how to be more "draconic voiced"
He just can't get it right,so Alessa takes him into the privacy
of the locomotives cab for some private lessons.
Meanwhile you go to the costuming tent,and find Max working on a improved version of the dragoness
suit...
