A Wolf Loves Pork and Olympus PEN Cameras Do Too

First came a very cool stop-motion video called オオカミとブタ。Stop motion with wolf and pig, also known as A Wolf Loves Pork by Taijin Takeuchi.

Then Olympus and their German agency Kolle Rebbe DSG — Dialog Solutions Group created an ad to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the PEN camera.

Some commenters jumped on them to give credit to Taijin Takeuchi. And, to their credit, they amended the video information as follows:

This is the PEN Story in stop motion. We shot 60.000 pictures, developed 9.600 prints and shot over 1.800 pictures again. No post production! Thanks to all the stop motion artists who inspired us. We hope you enjoy

Some of the comments we have read here suggest that we should mention the creator of “A wolf loves pork”, Mr Taijin Takeuchi.

While we were looking for a way to realise a story describing “a journey through time” based on printed images, we were inspired by Mr Takeuchi’s brilliant work. For this reason we intentionally quoted his work in our little movie while showing full respect to his original idea. We didnt mention his name because we did not want to do so without his prior agreement.

However after considering some of the comments posted here we have decided to add credits to him and his work, which we obviously absolutely love.

But that’s it.

Seem fair to you?
