♥ Sassy Spa ♥ Sweet and Sticky Facial
🕑 Added 2020-01-31 23:16:31 +0000 UTC
It's here!
I had this idea a while ago, thinking to myself - why Spa role plays gotta be so monotonous? So repetitive? So boring? Yes, it's great to get sweet pamperings from someone who's job it is to make you feel comforted - but that doesn't mean we can't spice it up a little! And earlier this month, I finally made it happen. This Spa role play is a little different - a little sassy - a little ... dirty. And I'm giving you this treat to remind you not to take things too seriously. =P
Ok, ok, I am guilty of taking this video a bit too seriously, but the point is the experience you're getting in the end. It took me several attempts of recording to get a passable version (mostly because my neighbors are trash) and you'll probably guess that the scalp massage portion was recorded separately - and you'd be right! I actually did that first because it's easier to work around everything that goes bump, thud, and cry in the night with audio-only. But as this is a yummy pampering session for your face, there's also a lot of lens touching and close-up personal attention at the beginning and end. Unless you don't want it to end - in which case I also have a long version which I call "Don't Wake My Heart" (also comes in a no music version) and of course the regular version without music.
I made it long enough for you to sleep to because I finished editing it the night before we were leaving for Denmark and I thought, let's go all out since it'll have 5 whole days to render until we're back! And it worked. I cut off the talking in the bit where it says "I can tell you're falling asleep" and from then on it's just infinite loops of scalp massage. That way, at least in my imagination, if you randomly wake up before the video is over, you'll hear the scalp massage still going and know you're still good for a bit and go right back to sleep. After two hours it just fades out and you can hopefully catch some much needed Z's the rest of the night.
If the video seems a bit out of focus, that's because the first two attempts the autofocus on my lens was giving my trouble with disruptive noises until I settled on a less convenient but also less noisy way of doing the same thing and just manually adjusting the focus for every scene separately. I hope you can just take this as the "soft mood" and ambiance in this video as I really did my best in the short time I had.
Now, it wouldn't be an [Esc] reality video without the little surprises sprinkled all over everything. I got some really nice sounds out of mixing the scrub and playing with the little jars and all the ingredients. You can't tell because there aren't any visuals (just a relaxing hot towel - ahhhh) but this included pouring sugar, pouring oils, opening and closing different sized jars, gently tapping on them without nails, mixing with a brush instead of a spoon for softer squishes and more. But that's not all! Before the scalp massage I made sure to throw in some oil rubbing sounds, hair play and even the cliché tapping on a hair brush. And did you notice every time I touch the lens it sounds like I'm rubbing your face? That's intentional. All these little sounds were recorded and arranged separately through painstaking avoidance of my neighbors' ridiculous noise to the point where I was lucky if I got 5 seconds worth of usable sounds at a time. This is what makes the experience so vivid and immersive for you. (Picture me sitting on my drawer and rubbing stuff on my hands/knees while holding my breath and trying not to accidentally touch a hair on the wind shield or make my wrist pop... I may very well pass this off as a workout!) I tried to get it as spatially accurate as possible (even the water dripping sounds from the towel!) so I hope you can enjoy the attention to detail and abundance of ASMR triggers here.
Now that I'm pretty much done rambling about why my video is so special (lol notice me!), I'm willing to make another one of these if I can figure out a treatment to shove moderate amounts of innuendos in. I have so much more planned and I'm excited to go back to work (with new equipment) soon! Until then, I hope this video eases your stress and puts you in a sweet mood for sleep. Let me know how you liked it! To me it feels like a sassy kiss on the nose ;)
Sleep tight now and stay tuned for more in February! ♥
