Well, This is an Unfortunate Music Video Coincidence
No one is accusing anyone of any malfeasance here, but the similarities between these two music videos are interesting.
Take a look at “Vagabond” from Canadian indie artist Shoot the Image. This was published to YouTube on August 3, 2013.
Then we have “Stitches” from Shawn Mendes, another Canadian, of course. It first appeared on YouTube on June 24, 2015.
Yes, I think the similarities are strong. Particularly, with styling of the two singers. Simeon Ross is wearing a signature look and Shawn Mendes seems to be copying the look in his video. Sure, there can be artistic coincidences, but this might be something more. What a shame. The opening shot in the video, also reminds me of another Shoot The Image video, ‘Lithograph’.
