Cinderella stamp Concepts
A Brief History of Action Replay Stamps
Back in August 2004, NZ Post released a series of action replay stamps. In contrast to a 100% lenticular stamp, they were what's known as 'hybrid' stamp, which consist of half plastic, half
plastic, half paper. Four stamps, designed by Saatchi and Saatchi, were created to celebrate New
Zealand's proud Olympic history which included: Peter Snell's historic victory in the 800m middle
distance run at the 1960's Olympics, Ian Ferguson and Paul McDonald's K2 win at the 500m race in Seoul, John Walker's win at the 1500m in 1976 at Montreal, and finally, Yvette Williams, who wins gold in the long jump at Helsinki.
The 'hybrid stamp has quickly been suspended by the full 100% MotionPrint video stamp as they only consisted of only solely three images, which were of low resolution.
Today, we at Outer Aspect Ltd , can proudly say that we have superceded this approach and have produced, for the first time ever in the World, truely 100% MotionPrint stamp with a full 2 seconds of video footage.
