Raiders: Brass zipp / Silver zipp

Post by Holt »

Hi.

I have been doing some screen grab work again and I couldnt help but notice this.

I really think i have found the raiders jacket with the brass zipper.

look at the Imans house jacket zipp compared to his brass belt buckle, then look at the well of the souls jacket zipper.



to me this is pretty much sealed but what do you think?

It looks brass, to me. I've always prefered a silver zipper for a Raiders jacket. It matches the black side strap sliders better.

I don't think I could tell from that screen grab if it as really brass, brass paint, or just the photo.

I think it's the photo, the scene is dark and the pic's been lighted up. In the next frame the zipper is shiny and looks like a silver color.

Its in Jocks plane. If you watch the whole sequence it looks brass all the way through.

doesn't look brass, looks silver! I don't think its anything other than lighting. So materialwise its silver but if you want screen accurate you'd have to kind of make it more brass like.

The brass used (on the LC at least) is quite dark, an antiqued bronze really.

The pic you posted kinda looks like a silver zipper seen under yellow lighting, imo.

We've been told that the zippers were painted brass and that wore off. Never seen any proof of the bronze painted zippers really, inless the Iman's house pic shows on of them.

Watching the whole sequence with the jacket flapping around in the wind it looks brass in colour, not a lighting thing. But ofcourse I dont know for sure, I was looking for something else but when I saw it I remembered this thread.
