Moving Dilan

With your smartphone you can do something nice with the stamps from Indonesia, announced in the novelties in the former newsletter. More about this further on.
Dilan 1990 is a movie from 2018, based on a bestseller of writer Pidi Baiq, which takes us back to the 90-ies. A boy, Dilan, falls in love with a girl, Milea, who has just moved to Jakarta. A nice and populair romantic movie. In the movie Dilan is riding a Honda CB100.

The images on the stamps are coming from the book. The stamps have been issued in sheets and numbered blocks. The block has been issued in a special folder.

And now comes the nice thing: the stamps are "augmented realistic". This means that, when you install a special program on your smartphone and point the camera to the block, the images on the stamps start to "live".
On the first stamp the couple walks away from you, on the last stamp it is actually raining and on the other stamps Milea wiggles with her legs and Dilan is writing.
