Paula Díaz fan club

Welcome to the informal Paula Díaz fan club.


I personally know Paula for quite long now. In fact I met her in the 2008-09 as teacher of the GIS and RS master. At the beginning I has captivated by her Catalan "Mallorquin" accent that for a standard Catalan person speaker sounds sweeter than our accent. I supervised her Master project about Geospatial Metadada quality and completeness. I discover her working capacity and good learning curve. I suppose I had something to do with her starting her Scientific carrier. After that I had the pleasure to work with her from Apr 2011 to Aug 2012. She is currently 2015 in the Zurich Politechnical University (ETH Zurich Department of Environmental Systems Science, Institute for Environmental Decisions). More details here.

But I decided to start this blog when I was amazed by a complete different faced on her activities: She is the star in 2 video-clips of the new songs of a Canadian music band called Terrace. 

First Video: Cote D'Azur

The video and the song she is presenting a fresh and young opportunity for a summer informal relation.

I really like the ingenuity that she is able to present. She is really a natural!. This is an scene were she is looking directly to the spectator (I mean you):

You can see the video here:

The video was directed by Marc Alcover and filmed in Majorca, Spain and stars the Paula. Director of Photography and cameraman: Biel Calderón.

Second video: Exit Stars

This video (also directed by Marc Alcover) is showing also Paula in Majorca presenting a different situation. What seemed to be a good relation is turning into something more tense. Paula is seen again fresh and natural at the beginning but is becoming immediately more distant. We are assuming that a mysterious guy in black seems to be in relation with her but things are not going so well.

These are what I consider the best shots of her in this one. 

You can see the video clip here:

The vídeo was premiered by that Clash magazine last 2015/05/06: http://www.clashmusic.com/videos/premiere-terrace-exit-stars

The video has been selected by Kaltblut as one of the top 5 videos of the week: http://www.kaltblut-magazine.com/top-5-videos-of-the-week-4/

Even if I personally prefer the first one, I have to admit that the second one is more interesting scenically and artistically. This could be reason why Marc Alcover has himself selected also some shots from this one and published in social media (http://www.enjoygram.com/marcalcover and ). Let me just reproduce them here:

Third video?

We all in the Paula Diaz Fan Club are expecting a third video. And our hopes are high!. In fact in the Terrace blog a video trilogy is promised. I really wonder if there will be a third release and when. In fact the band plans to release a full length album called We Fall Together by Spring 2015 so she could be also the image of this "long play". Clash magazine recently announced the new album will be released in June 1st we are wondering if this will be accompanied by the 3rd video of the trilogy.

NEW: Third video confirmed. More info here: http://joanma747.blogspot.com/2015/06/paula-diaz-video-trilogy-promoting.html

We got access to the cover of the We Fall Together "long play". What a pity: Paula is not on the cover.
