Oh my goodness! Does anybody else here remember the wonderful television program that was Ocean Girl? It was that brilliant Australian show that aired in the States on the Disney Channel (when it was good) around 1995? Seriously, this show was my life back then! I loved Neri and Jason and Bret and Charlie (Jali?)!!
I remember that I was sooooo obsessed with the show, I ran around everywhere with an Australian accent. I even made a little doll of Neri out of some modeling clay and brown paper for her outfit and I would play with it in the bushes and flowers in my front yard!

Any way, I started watching the episodes again on Youtube and I cry a little bit on the inside from nostalgia! Ahh



So, this picture is of Marzena Godecki, the girl who played Neri.


Overall I am satisfied with the way it came out. Some parts could be better... But I like it!

I remember this show very fondly. I own most of it on DVD and aside from the special affects used for ORCA's external shots, the show has aged reasonably well.

Marzena did an intro and audio commentary for the first season, and let me tell you, she's a funny gal.

I am so jealous that you have it on DVD! I wish it could be released here in the States.

Excellent work.
And yes, a great show, I just watched though them all recently.

Seems to have been a lot of good Australian kids sci-fis.(This, spellbinder, The girl from tommorow, escape from jupiter, Round the Twist and I think there was one called "Mission Top Secret" but I'm not completely sure)

OMG, I just found this picture and you've done such a great job of depicting Neri! :D

I loved the show (bizarrely renamed for the UK market to "Ocean Odyssey"), although I only ever saw the first couple of seasons as they aired on (I think) ITV, before the show was bought up and aired on Sky (which I still don't get even now). I had such a crush on Neri back then, and Mera too, to an extent (I was about...1995? I was about 13 then, hormones kicking in 'n all... :p). Sadly, I cannot swim at all, but I did know that they gave Marzena a lot of swimming training prior to filming starting and she did it all herself (commentary on the Season 1 R2 DVD).

Ooo, I'm commissioning a dual portrait of Neri and Mera at the moment under my other DA-name, :iconpower-and-chaos:, look out for it! I'd love to know what you think of it. :)
