Jorge's visor

(1/1)

EnigmaBiz:
I may have been seeing thing or maybe my TV sucks but I swear I saw Jorge's Visor change colors from yellow/gold to red.

This can be easily checked.

Start Noble actual, when everyone is heading out of the bunker to board the falcons look at Jorge's visor. When I saw it I assumed that maybe the Sun/ Light just hit it the right way or maybe there is a active/ non active option.

Take a look when you have time and let me know what you think.

Insane Monx:
Apparently you can't upload media from Cutscenes (Noble Actual and Credits). They weren't even supposed to be filmed anyways.

I looked at it, and it appears to be a feature thing (polarization, radiation protection, Idk). I took two pics seconds apart and it goes from almost the default visor color to dark red, so I don't think it's the lighting. Carter appears to have the same thing, too. Unless the shading on the Helmet changes suddenly in the same lighting, then it's a part of the helmet.

Thank god someone else saw the same thing. I wonder if it has to do with night vision....

I wouldn't think so, since it was used in broad daylight. Unless you want to count the medium cloud coverage during the Covenants invasion on Reach that day.

Phantasm 08:
I don't think I recall seeing this phenomenon, but the polarization of the visors is directly correlated with night vision. Recall the cutscene in ODST where Buck says "if you ever fall for a lady, make sure she's got balls." He has his helmet on, and only polarizes it as he turns away. Perhaps it's beneficial to not polarize one's visor when it's not needed?

Anyway, I'm just saying that the different colors of he visors could be due to different polarizing compounds, that are useful in different situations. Unpolarized visors may in fact be the same color as the default visor. Think about transition lenses that you can get for eyeglasses.
