Brett Stanley: [00:00:00] Welcome back to the underwater podcast. And this week I’m chatting with actor Eline Powell about her work as a mermaid on the now sadly canceled shows. Siren. We talk about our training for the part, the intense days filming underwater and how learning to move in the water really informed the actors movements on land. She also talks about how the experience has changed her and how she’d much rather be a mermaid than learn the violin. All right. Let’s dive in.
Elaine. Welcome to the underwater podcast.
Eline Powell: [00:00:29] Thank you. Thank you so much for having me.
Brett Stanley: [00:00:31] How are you? Are you are you surviving in this, in this kind of crazy COVID 2021.
Eline Powell: [00:00:37] the, the surrealism the surreal world. I am surviving. I’m actually doing very well considering I’m one of the lucky ones I’m healthy. I have a roof over my head. I’m safe. So, I love board games. So I keep myself busy. I really, I love cooking all that stuff. So I’m very fortunate, to, to see, yeah.
Brett Stanley: [00:01:00] I’m good. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, 2021 is kinda kind of opened up a little strangely for me. I think we all kind of expected the new year to happen and then everything to get back to normal, but
Eline Powell: [00:01:10] yeah. Looking back you’re like, why did we think that? Just because it’s a new year, it would be different. Do you know? In hindsight you’re like, wow, we were so hopeful for what reason? But yeah.
Brett Stanley: [00:01:22] all these, all these kinds of memes online, where it’s like, I’m welcome to day 357 of March, 2020. And I’m like, I know it still
Eline Powell: [00:01:30] Yes. And no, or just January. My favorite meme was like 20, 21. Hold my beer. It just went down. But yeah, thank God for a bit of humor so we can get through it.
Brett Stanley: [00:01:43] It’s exactly. Yup. So where are you in at the moment? Anywhere in the world. Are you in the UK or.
Eline Powell: [00:01:49] I’m I’m in Europe, I’m staying with my family because when we saw lockdown was happening again you know, after the first wave we wanted to spend the second half of the year with a bit more space and greenery. So we’ve come to my parents’ house, which is a bit bigger than a little flat in London.
Brett Stanley: [00:02:10] Yeah, I think that’s the thing like having space around you certainly makes the the lockdown on the quarantine time. A
Eline Powell: [00:02:15] Yeah, I think nature is kind of your friend through it. It keeps you grounded and makes you feel not as boxed in, you know, or just a park or anything like that. I kind of, when you get a bit claustrophobic, I feel like that kind of really suits you. It suits me anyway. I feel Oh, okay. Yeah.
Brett Stanley: [00:02:37] It does. Me too. It’s kind of when kind of looked down, started happening last year. And I was just thinking about people who are in like New York and these kind of high density cities living in apartments. And I’m like, Oh my God, like, you know, I have a backyard and a swimming pool here.
I’m very, very lucky. I can’t imagine what it was
Eline Powell: [00:02:54] Yeah, I w w yeah, I think it’s anybody who is close to that kind of who or who has access to any kind of. You know, sprinkle of nature is it’s, it’s really beneficial, even if it’s just to see, you know, life still goes on. Do you know what I mean? Like, I know this tragedy everywhere, but I find psychologically just really suits me.
Brett Stanley: [00:03:18] Yeah. It’s like a, like a healing kind of kind of vibe. It’s quite nice. So let’s, let’s move away from the depressing 20, 21.
Brett Stanley: [00:03:26] And let’s head back a few years to
Eline Powell: [00:03:28] Yeah. Let’s dip in the water. Yeah.
Brett Stanley: [00:03:31] Let’s go for a swim. So let’s talk about a show that has been, you know, quite quite important in this kind of industry as well as really, I think it had a really good reception on, on for the viewers and that siren.
Brett Stanley: [00:03:44] us, give us a little overview for those who don’t know what siren is, what this show’s about.
Eline Powell: [00:03:48] Well this show was a mermaid show. But kind of first of its kind in the respect that they approach mermaids, not so much as the, the little mermaid Disney versions that we might know more, the, the perspective of these are another humanoid aquatic, humanoid species predators, really living under the water and.
I finally meeting mankind for the first time and, you know, in modern day, yeah, with all of its challenges, climate change or pollution. And, my character is basically one of the first mermaids who comes on land too. And comes in contact with humans and knows nothing. Doesn’t know how to speak the language or anything like that.
And so basically we’re getting to know both species through each other’s eyes, through their respective eyes it was a life-changing show for me. It w it’s ended now, but it, where it was for many reasons. The best four years of my life. And one of the main reasons for that is because it got me in touch or brought me into contact with free diving and a whole underwater world that I wasn’t really aware of.
Which is why I’m talking to you now, because I, I grew a passion for it. So yeah, it’s, it’s a it’s worth checking out if you’re into anything. If you’re anything around that mythology, if that fascinates you, it’s, it’s a nice new interpretation for it.
Brett Stanley: [00:05:24] Yeah. And so it’s quite gritty, isn’t it? Like, it’s
Eline Powell: [00:05:26] It’s quite gritty.
Brett Stanley: [00:05:28] of you know yeah. Like you say, it’s not that Disney sort of thing. It’s very, it’s a bit more like a drama
Eline Powell: [00:05:33] Yeah. Like, we’re not very, I mean, I don’t mean that dismissively, but we’re not like beautiful and, you know, perfect and lovely and nice. We’re more sort of, yeah. W we’re just very brand new and we’re actually, we come from quite a world where, where you have to survive and, and um, it’s a bit more.
Predatory and animalistic. And, but at the same time, you know, they have a lot, the armor mates anyway, have a lot of intelligence and emotions in their way are just very different from humans. So they, they get to know Each other’s worlds and what they find strange about that. And then of course the, the, the aim of the story, or I think anyway, the morale of it all is, is that you’ve much more find a way a common ground.
If you’re willing to look, if you’re willing to love, if you’re willing to be open, then if you’re. You know, immediately putting up the enemy roles or the, you are lesser than me. And I take advantage of you perspective, which is very applicable for today’s problems. I think.
Brett Stanley: [00:06:45] Yeah. So, so you mean like you’re bringing in a bit of vulnerability in there is,
Eline Powell: [00:06:49] Yeah. I feel like, yeah. Time and time again, in our show.
I mean, of course the thrill is finding out about this new cause it’s a Saifai so, you know, you know, scientific fantasy and it’s, it’s very, you know, there’s not so much magic as there is, you know, the, the main characters are Marine biologists and. The, some of the, the bigger voices in it are science or the military or the doctors, or, you know, so they have their own theories about it.
But then at the same time, there’s spirituality and heart because you’re talking about another culture, almost another, and anyway, in those elements Sort of play together, but then of course, in, in the most magical setting, which is underwater, which has hadn’t been done before, at least not in a television show.
I mean, you have age too well, which is a gorgeous show, but again, it’s more leaning towards the little mermaid interpretations of, you know beautiful and, and. Lovely and smooth and, and here, the, the transformation is painful. You know, the, the way our mermaids changed from water creatures to land creatures is very painful.
We’re actually talking about evolution in the space of, you know, a minute, you know, if you think about birth or if you think about, you know, any animal regrowing, a limb or a tail, it, it doesn’t happen sort of. Very with twinkly lights and, you know, as much as we’d wish that yeah, it’s, it’s a it’s, Life is raw. Yeah. And that, that take is more the one that our show approached, which is cool. It’s different.
Brett Stanley: [00:08:29] Yeah. Well, I think that it’s an interesting point too, because you talk about H2O, which is, I think, as an Australian
Eline Powell: [00:08:35] Mm. Yeah. Yeah.
Brett Stanley: [00:08:37] and I think there’s a lot of, kind of shows that are made for, I guess, kind of kids or teenagers, you know, with that mermaid sort of thing in mind. Whereas this is quite, it’s a lot more adult, isn’t it?
Eline Powell: [00:08:47] It’s a lot more adult. Yeah. Which I think there is you know, I think there’s such room for it. I mean, if you think of the fascination there’s been, I mean, we look at as, as a. As a whole throughout history, we love mythologies. We love the power. It has to, to tell stories about humanity through creatures.
And then of course the other aspect is it was real or not, but let’s just stick with the power of, of using. Myth myths and mythological characters. I mean, for instance, years ago it was vampires in every which way they were explored from good to bad to the stereotypical, to the new, same, the popularity of zombies werewolves these fascinators so much.
And then I always found it so baffling there’s such scope. For the underwater, the mermaid world, the sirens, the, you know, all that world that has so much potential. So I’m very other, so, so happy that there’s a show like Simon, who’s at least throwing another idea on the. You know, on the plate there,
Brett Stanley: [00:09:56] well, I think the thing that, that really impressed me about the show was how much they tried to do in a practical sense. You know, a lot of these shows, if they do underwater scenes, they’ll either do it, you know, dry for wet, which means shooting at dry and then making it look like it’s wet,
Eline Powell: [00:10:08] Which doesn’t work really.
Brett Stanley: [00:10:10] it’s yeah. I mean it, when it does work, it’s, it’s such so much money to
Eline Powell: [00:10:15] It’s so much money to make it work. I feel like I’m. You know, I’m, I’m I’ve spent so many hours on, on the underwater set now. I mean, after all those years and I, a hundred percent believe that the practical way is the best as in the hands-on way, the really doing it way delivers the best results. And yes, it’s still expensive, but my God The more you, you, you do it.
And especially if you work with a great team, which we did in siren, and every year we became closer and family and it’s like anything, right. You spend long time on it and you perfect and you find quicker ways and better ways and easier ways. Even if you look at our season one or a pilot sequences that we did for underwater, and then you compared with.
Oh, third season, you already see so much progress in them. That’s because everybody was learning how to do it better in my head. I also have a little glimpse of what we could have achieved now because we know so much we know each other. We know what we can do, the CGI guys. They really know how to work with us and all this stuff, but yeah, I would say for underwater things I’ve seen now, it’s absolutely possible to do it practical, to actually shoot on the water and all you need is top people.
And and, and communication and, and knowledge and all that stuff, which I’m not claiming I had at the beginning, but the team did. And we got there, you know,
Brett Stanley: [00:11:45] exactly. Yeah. And I think that’s the thing with this coming in. You know, there’s a steep learning curve to it and,
Eline Powell: [00:11:51] my goodness. Yeah.
Brett Stanley: [00:11:52] just adds on to the, to the, the beautiful production at the end of it is knowing how much work went into Is the water something that you kind of grew up with?
Is it, is it something that you had a fascination with when you grew up or was it just because of this production that you kind of found that love for it?
Eline Powell: [00:12:06] No, it it’s. It was completely a love of mine. I was completely. You could say what a baby, but, you know, I didn’t have access to a pool most of the year, except for in the summer, you know, the stairs. I mean, not the stereotypical, but I guess sort of the common story of it. It was done mostly in summer holidays or stuff like that.
So I loved, loved, loved the water. I loved the little mermaid But it wasn’t something I was actively near and therefore completely unaware how much it actually would, you know, best my heart open with joy. As I found out then when, when I got the job, I was just over the moon because.
The, the prospect of, of learning this as a skill being underwater, that was just fun for me, but I didn’t think that much of it other than, okay. It’s sort of like learning a stunt, like it excites me, but okay. There it ends. And then I had my first few sessions at the time in London still, before I moved to Vancouver for, for the pilot.
And it was just in London with Liv Phillips, who was a competition free diver there, and she was marvelous. And so we did some breathing and I was like, okay, this is interesting and great. And, and then she put on that. Monofin. She, she brought her competition monofin for me to try out and we went to the pool.
And so I had, and you know, I could do the moves already a little bit, probably not well, but enough. And that’s when I first took the monofin for a ride and did the whip and the speed with which I could go. And. I still remember that feeling like, what is this? This is immense. This is pure freedom.
I felt sort of like. I’m going to give you a movie reference. You know, the, the guy in avatar when, when he tries his avatar for the first time, and it’s a character is paralyzed from the legs down and he has this avatar. And for the first time he can run again, which he thought he never would be able to do.
And that scene that that’s kind of the equivalent of what happened to me then in that pool, I was like, you know, finally, you can just move, you can just go because, you know, when you swim just your body and water, I think unless you’re like an Olympic swimmer or your underwater ballerina who just really knows her stuff, Your body is not the best yet at really moving with water.
So when I had that, monofin on, I was like, Oh my God. And I just felt like I just discovered fire. It was amazing. And then it just ignited. And then I went on this journey and it was brilliant.
Brett Stanley: [00:14:52] I mean, that’s such a beautiful analogy as well. Like, you know, that, that kind of having this avatar. Cause I, I know that feeling and every time I get in the water, and especially with fins on, and you kind of give yourself that little flick and you feel how powerful you are and you feel the water rushing past you, it is such an amazing feeling.
Eline Powell: [00:15:09] It’s absolutely incredible.
Brett Stanley: [00:15:10] And then you take them off and you’re back to your little feet again, and you feel so helpless.
Eline Powell: [00:15:14] You’d like, Oh, I’m pathetic. I deserve to be eaten by something big. Yeah. Yeah. It’s so confronting. Yeah, I know. I very much have that actually today, if I have ever in a pool without a digital monofin I just feel like such a little shrimp. Like, Oh God, what am I even doing? Useless.
Brett Stanley: [00:15:37] thing because you’ve spent, so, so let’s break down a typical kind of shoot for a water shoot for this, because you are in a monofin the whole time, right?
Eline Powell: [00:15:48] Yeah, so siren was very much I mean, I’m sure you’ve heard this from my fellow dream team colleagues. Who’ve been on your podcast, Roberto and Brayden Hagadi who are my one’s camera woman, and underwater. Choreographer teacher free dive original mummy Xtrordinair. And so they they, they will really um, almost like a second filming.
So you had anything that we shot in the show on land. And then we had days in the tank tank days, and that’s where we shot the underwater part of the show, which increasingly got. More and more which with with each season. But in the beginning, you know, so it was a lot of training days. And then you had Tang days and Tang days where they were in tennis, you know, like you’re in the water, I think 12, 13 hours a day.
And you’re just. You completely pruned out by the, by the end of it. But I mean, I can’t express enough joy and bless. I was always begging the writers and the producers. Please, please, please put in more water stuff. Please keep, keep as much as you can in the water. And they were like, that’s great.
Ilene, do you have. Do you have a couple of mil relying around and I was okay. Fine. But so it would be. The process is much slower. So again, that’s why in the beginning, there’s not as many water scenes as towards season three because you know, I stress again. We got to know the process really well.
We got to know the water that the actors, everybody just knew that stuff by, by season three, but in the, in the first the processes you go in, okay. The lights set up cause, okay. You don’t maybe have many props as such. You still had to. You know, set the scene. Is it nighttime? Is it a daytime? Whereabouts in the water are they do F any rocks or that stuff?
I was so ready thanks to the, the loving care and amazing, amazing training that I, and anybody else who was a mom on the show got from Roberta. And so I was fully prepped. I was like, I feel it in it. It’s amazing. And then you go down in the tank, this really deep tank with black walls and a black floor.
And I just, I just didn’t have a clue. I just, I, you know, cause even in, when you practice in pools, it’s, it’s light,
