The Weeknd, sospechoso de plagiar uno de sus clips. Eso es lo que el director de clips Mitch Moore (responsable de trabajos para artistas como Mykki Blanco) ha difundido en las redes sociales, ya que considera que el vídeo clip promocional de la canción “Can’t Feel My Face” de The Weeknd podría ser un plagio de uno de sus trabajos, aunque sea un trabajo que continúa siendo inédito.

Nos explicamos. Según parece, Moore filmó un clip para los también canadienses Majical Cloudz en 2014, aunque las discrepancias con la propia banda impidieron que el vídeo se diese a conocer públicamente. El director está convencido de que su pieza circuló y que The Weeknd o los responsables de su vídeo lo vieron y tomaron algunas ideas de él para dar forma al de “Can’t Feel My Face”.

El propio Moore ha presentado en su cuenta de Instagram un clip que combina imágenes de ambas obras para que los lectores juzguen hasta qué punto podría ser cierta la historia.

So about a year ago, I directed a video for Majical Cloudz. Because of creative differences, it never came out. But the production was large, and many feedback emails were sent out with private uploads of the edit. It's come to my attention that some body at the helm of a certain mega popular video must have seen one or more of these unreleased edits. The resemblance is too uncanny. My mind is a mansion of creativity, so this petty theft is nbd to me. BUT I'M STILL CALLING THE POLICE!! ????. ----------------- Good god now I have to make an addendum cuz of p4K et al!!! I'm NOT calling out any specific body including the video's director. BTW neither premise is original, and I'm not defending my work here. But the mise en scene of the shots and their function within the scene were too uncannily parallel. Third parties alerted me to this fact. I posted for two reasons. One: The Shania gag was HILARE!!! Two: The moneyed folks in the mainstream waste so much money trying to make half-hearted copies of work originally pioneered by gifted and under-resourced artists - many of whom I know personally. Plagiarism and brain drain happens at even the most shadiest of bcc: levels y'all...The fashion/production/management world is narrow. Again, idk nor idc if this actually happened in this case. But I MUST SAY - In the creative agency world, the gank-giddy decision making of creative directors (or whatever u call them) is silly because these folks know how to find the gurls. They could save so so so much money and get more impactful end products if they came straight to the source instead of hiring a middleman with the word "savvy" on their resume. I just don't get it. *goes back to storyboarding

Por otro lado, Abel Tesfaye –verdadero nombre de The Weeknd- estrenó ayer el vídeo de la canción “Tell Your Friends”. El director es Grant Singer y, además de con Tesfaye, ha trabajado con artistas como Sky Ferreira o Skrillex.
