A short ASMR based horror I shot last summer with the original BMCC and BMPCC for wide, Sigma 18-35mm Art for the main cam, and Samyang 7.5 mm Fisheye F3.5 for the pocket.
Would love to know what people think, especially if you are effected by ASMR videos?
And please share with anyone who watches ASMR or loves horror! Thanks.
Closer is a short horror film based on ASMR, and so for the best experience please make sure to watch wearing a good pair of headphones.
ASMR means Automated Sensory Meridian Response, this is a pleasant tingling on the back of the neck and head caused by certain sounds (whispering) or visuals, and which some people use to help relax or to get sleep. Looking for an new angle in horror, it was our own experience and appreciation of ASMR that lead us to create this short.
SYNOPSIS:
Stumbling across ASMR videos late one night, Sarah is intrigued by the phenomenon and its calming effects. When a suspicious video pops up and automatically plays, soon she accidentally ventures down an online rabbit hole. Plagued by phantom whispers and apparitions, she is unsure if everything is in her head or real.
