WHAT IS A VIDEO SCRIBE?
Video scribing, also known as whiteboard animation, is an engaging form of story telling which replicates a 'stop-motion capture style'. This method has been used by Dr Abid Ahmad and his wife Mufleha Ahmad to produce a vast number of Q/A animations featuring in the main from historic Question and Answer sessions with the Fourth Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (May Allah have Mercy on him).
Our twitter handle @amaukgallery UK have been regularly tweeting the short videoscribe productions which are placed on YouTube. The team is now compiling on this site, the full list of these produced so far and where possible, by subject matter. Below, by clicking the image, you can view three recent submissions. The remainder are listed below these in text format.
Please note that questions are being added constantly and we hope to have, Inshallah, over 250 questions online by the end of Feb 2021.
