    What is ASMR?
    To me, ASMR is 2 things: a sensation and a medium (like music for example).
    The sensation itself (ASMR) stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current (non-scientific) name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering and personal attention. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.
    ASMR videos, the medium, are not only meant to help induce the sensation or "tingles" in the viewer, but also help provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. They often help those dealing with anxiety, stress, headaches, insomnia, mental health issues, concentrating, studying and more. It is quite therapeutic, for both the creator and recipient, which is not that much different than the mediums of music and painting, for example.
    Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.

      That would actually help people survive since relaxing can reduce injuries. Drunk people can get bashed in the head with an guitar and they'd be fine since they didn't tense up or brace for the impact.

      Hmm, i guess so, i think kidnapping roleplay tho is better. Stockholms is an effect of what can happen tho, and it doubles when the kidnapper is handsome. Also.. majority of us females have it ( I think thats what it said anyways). I remember reading some study about it along time ago. 🤔.

    You need to do an ASMR where you roleplay as a Captain of a pirate ship and we're one of your valuable crew mates. I think it would be awesome with gentle chains in the background, soft whispering and maybe some tapping on ancient artifacts we've plundered over the years with you explaining each artifact and how we came to come across it. You could even implement the sound of waves carefully brushing against the ship as we sail across the seas.

      my best guess would be a Panasonic or Sony mirrorless, but it could also be a DSLR. He's definitely using some decent photography lenses and that's what matters. But it's also a lot about how well he's lighting the scenes. Proper lighting goes a long way and is arguably a lot more important than the camera you're using.
