Well that sucks, doesn't it? Maybe you could have someone you trust watch the premieres vid and watch a rough cut of yours and let you know if that one is taking a significantly different interpretation. If so, I'd say finish yours.
When I was uploading my non-attending premieres vid on Friday I was shocked to find someone had done my source to my song 3 years ago. Totally different take on it, but had I known I probably wouldn't have continued. Before I started I ran the idea for the vid by the musician who wrote the song and he gave me the green light to use his music. He didn't know about the earlier vid, either.
