I am more impressed that she wrote on the invisible board backwards rather than about the Kafka itself. Bravo!

[@kossboss]

She wrote normal the video is mirrored

[@RobertPodosek]

It's mirroed you imbecile. If you've seen any of these videos 90% of the people are ' left' handed.

Thank you Whitney for the simple yet effective description about Kafka. What was more intriguing for me was that were you really writing the text from right to left or is it in someway a mirrored image of yours :) ?

[@leanvidal-555]

All videos of this kind are mirrored after being filmed

Thanks for the appreciation, Dustin! As for how we film our videos, we shared some behind the scenes on the Community page, check it out here 👉 ibm.co/2TTQAvW 😉
