"A Man's Best Friend" [ ASMR ]

Having found you over at the Innsmouth Thrift Shop, it now appears that you are this man's best friend. 00:00 Hello my friend 06:42 Getting your excercise 12:05 Cleaning your cage & changing your food & water 22:20 A nice fresh bath 28:58 A little brushing 31:30 Some of your favorites Inspiration in part from H. P. Lovecraft, Monty Python's "Dead Parrot" sketch and the opening scene from the movie Gremlins (where the father purchases the Mogwai). Also dedicated to pets (past and present) and their owners, which once included me for having owned fish, hamsters, garden / garter snakes (loved hunting for them as a kid), lizards, birds and cats, off and on throughout my life. Background: this idea sprouted months prior to filming but I didn't want to purchase a new cage just for a one-off idea. So I set the idea aside while tending to grow others. Then the day of purchasing props from a local thrift shop for the Innsmouth Thrift shop video, lo and behold, sing it on ze mountain, the bird cage in this video was just brought into the thrift shop that day. And that was the first day I've ever been to that shop. I think the universe was telling me something, just like the day I stumbled upon a random deer head in the woods. From there, the rest is history. Equipment used: Panasonic GH4 + Panasonic 7-14mm lens Zoom H6 internal X/Y mics GoPro Hero 3 for the exercise ball footage No animals were harmed, relaxed or put to sleep during the making of this video.

In my subjective view, 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. ASMR videos, the medium, are not only meant to help induce the sensation or "tingles", but also help provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer while helping to relieve their anxiety, stress, headaches, insomnia, to help those suffering with PTSD or depression, to serve as a study aid and much more. It is quite therapeutic, for both the creator and recipient, not much different than the mediums of music and painting. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy affect.
