Underwater ROV

Wes Anderson Exhibition – Zissou Uniform

While I have been working on the Zissou uniform since the last post (and the shirt will actually be finished later today, shockingly an actual finished project!), I recently went to the Wes Anderson exhibition in London and saw the Zissou screen worn uniforms in person, both the Ned and Steve uniforms. Below are some of the photos I took

The exhibition also had a model of the submarine, Deep Search. I quite like the idea of the underwater ROV looking the same as this. Although it will require a good think on how to create it!

For a long time, I’ve wanted to make my own underwater ROV. This actually goes back at least 12 years, and while I planned some of the basics out and even created some example code, I never followed through on purchasing what was needed.

This will be another project I document my progress, failures and fixes on while linking to any resources I may have used.

I will name it the Kinnou.

“All the golden societies of the past to which historians point and turn their wistful smiles have had what patience-players would call a discard pile. They operated on two levels with a slave class who worked, ate, slept, and died and a leisured class who reclined on one elbow and spoke. Naturally it is from this latter group that we learn what life at that time was like. It often makes charming reading but we can hardly take it to be the whole truth.”

The key is never, never work. Nothing is more aging than work. It's not only the strain of getting up in the morning for work, but it's the resentment that settles on your face”

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”
