Comparing the White Jacket with CE 162

[Charles Drago]

I can't tell, Gil.

With the stipulation that I have zero knowledge of photography (beyond focus-and-shoot) and characteristics of film stock, I'm going to guess that the differences in color may be attributed to any number of factors ranging from lighting to exposure to film stock and camera and lense peculiarities.

Are there any photos exant of the "white" jacket with its front visible? Comparisons of pocket designs and other style elements might help us to draw the proper conclusion.

I don't know of any other video or photos that exist of this jacket as it was discovered at the scene.

I'm not sure exposure has anything to do with the difference in color. If the film's exposure was in excess, then ALL of the items in it would have been overexposed. I'm sure you'll agree that you just can't overexpose only the jacket and nothing else in the video. But nothing in the background or foreground of the video indicates that other items were overexposed.

I'm not suggesting overexposure, but rather different exposures -- the difference being sufficient to account for the variance in tone. But again, I don't have the skills to make a convincing argument.

I would reiterate that even if we eliminate the exposure issue, my other questions remain unanswered.
