God, that drove me nuts. Even worse, everyone was out in the open without stillsuits!

Yeah, that's an excellent conservation strategy. I mean, no one ever loses any moisture from the mouth or the top of the head, right? Right? Hello?

Re: Fan made animated Dune movie intro
Very true. I'll grant that the mouthpieces were clearly more accurate in the Syfy version. The suits were somewhat better in the Lynch version though I don't think they were ever described as black....and of course the cloaks were definitely more accurate in the miniseries; they were barely used at all in the Lynch version.TheDukester wrote:As opposed to stuffing a garden hose up your nose and not even bothering to cover the mouth or the top of the head, right ... ?

Why would they wear black when trekking around in the desert in broad daylight? It makes no sense.

If you had a cloak over it then it wouldn't make any difference, so the still suit itself could have been any colour.Superdog wrote:Why would they wear black when trekking around in the desert in broad daylight? It makes no sense.

I'm rather amazed. After all I ate and all the wine I drank last night (at a little to-do at my old hole-in-the-wall downtown), I'm surprised I'm functioning as well as I am.
And I only feel slightly fragile.

Re: Fan made animated Dune movie intro
I guess, but that just doesn't seem Fremen to me. A cloak could be destroyed or made useless by any number of things that could happen in the desert....so your stillsuit should be the most camouflaging color(s) possible and it should not absorb unnecessary amounts of solar energy by being darker than sand. Above all the Fremen are a practical people, and black ain't too practical in the desert. There's a reason you see so much white in the Bedouin wardrobe.A Thing of Eternity wrote:If you had a cloak over it then it wouldn't make any difference, so the still suit itself could have been any colour.Superdog wrote:Why would they wear black when trekking around in the desert in broad daylight?

Re: Fan made animated Dune movie intro
Indeed, but I don't think that has anything to do with simply being visible against the sand even if you're not in motion -- so camouflage is still important. I think that quote speaks to the dust that a "striding man" kicks up, and the tracks he leaves as well as his silhouette against the distant background (dunes, salt pan, mountains, sky) even if he happens to match the color of the sand immediately around him.DuneFishUK wrote:Four things cannot be hidden — love, smoke, a pillar of fire and a man striding across the open bled.

Freak posted something a few posts up where FH actually did specify the colours, grey for the suit, and brown for the cloak.

Re: Fan made animated Dune movie intro
Jamis stepped into the ring, slipped out of his robe and tossed it to
someone in the crowd. He stood there in a cloudy gray slickness of stillsuit
that was patched and marked by tucks and gathers.
...
Now, Paul saw the contents of the mound exposed: the pale glistening gray of
a stillsuit, a battered literjon, a kerchief with a small book in its center,
the bladeless handle of a crysknife, an empty sheath, a folded pack, a
paracompass, a distrans, a thumper, a pile of fist-sized metallic hooks, an
assortment of what looked like small rocks within a fold of cloth, a clump of
bundled feathers . . . and the baliset exposed beside the folded pack.
...
JUBBA CLOAK: the all-purpose cloak (it can beset to reflect or admit radiant
heat, converts to a hammock or shelter) commonly worn over a stillsuit on
Arrakis.
Couldn't find a quote for the color of the cloak, I'll look again later...

Re: Fan made animated Dune movie intro
Gray, that's right. I suppose as long as it's not any darker than the sand, then it's still halfway decent camoflauge esp. when coated in the stuff. Heck, spending so much time in or near sietch, I figure something closer to the color of stone than sand might be a wise choice. Of course, most of the time the jubba cloak is worn over and it presumably there are any number of cloak designs with different camo patterns etc.
I found the cloak designs in the Syfy miniseries passable but something just didn't seem right. I wonder what makes them "reflective or admissive" of radiant heat....
