The video is a step-by-step guide on how to create an ASMR video. The host, who is a frequent viewer of ASMR, decides to try it out and seeks advice from a real ASMR YouTuber, Gibi ASMR.
ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is a tingling and relaxing response that people can have to certain triggers. These triggers can range from a staticky or warm feeling in the back of your head to a chilly or goosebump-y feeling when someone does a certain action on you. ASMR videos on YouTube are trying to replicate this feeling through audio and visual triggers.
The host starts by explaining that ASMR has been around for a while, but it has recently become more mainstream. They discuss the science behind ASMR, mentioning that a lot of recent studies are trying to prove that it's real and what biologically is happening when you experience it. They also discuss the misconceptions people have about ASMR, such as it being a fad or sexual.
The host then moves on to discussing how to make ASMR content. They discuss the different types of ASMR videos, such as trigger compilations, videos with a specific scenario or activity, and immersive story or roleplay videos. They also discuss the different triggers that can be used in ASMR videos, such as sounds that are soft, slow, and repetitive.
The host then discusses the movie magic that goes into ASMR, mentioning that with some ASMR, you can mostly tell how they're produced, and you can see how the person is making the sounds. But with other videos, it's not quite as clear. They also discuss the audio, mentioning that Gibi tries to make all of the sounds naturally from their source but there are some hacks that she's found.
Finally, the host sets up a roleplay segment where they pretend to be cutting someone else's hair. They use a variety of props and costume pieces to simulate the experience. They also use a wig that Gibi gifted them, allowing them to do whatever they want with it.
In conclusion, the video is a comprehensive guide on how to create an ASMR video, from understanding the science behind it to setting up the triggers and props, and finally, creating the roleplay segment.
