I am continuing on the theme of identifying videos which might be useful for ASMR and/or producing calming effects to aid in sleep. Focusing primarily on the videos created for an entirely different purpose (of late for education purposes but that is likely to change). Regular readers will understand that a huge part of the point is to produce a playlist which you can play on your phone or tablet whilst trying to get to sleep. Those of you who are new, welcome. The playlist is getting to a reasonable length now and so if you choose the shuffle function on YouTube you should get several hours of listening. I apologise in advance for any blaring YouTube adverts that may interrupt this endeavour. I don’t think that any YouTube employees are reading my blog at the present time or they’d tone it down a bit (well one can hope).
Back to the world of eye exams today. The channel is CHECT UK, it has thirty-one videos so not a huge channel. This video however does not feature in any of the five available playlists. Reviewing the channel’s content available it looks like this is the solitary video which is going to be useful to us in terms of ASMR. Sadly, it looks like today I’m going to be limiting myself to just one video. On the bright side however, this will be a brief blog post which should enable you to rush back to whatever it was you were doing before reading this.
Ophthalmoscopy Video
The notes state it is an “Educational video shared courtesy of Moorfields Eye Hospital”. So it is not a pure exam video as such.
Moorfields eye hospital has its own channel with one hundred and twenty three videos as at today’s date, so this might be something worth exploring in a future blog post.
The people credited in the video are Miss Narcis Okhravi (Consultant in charge of undergraduate education), Miss Rahila Zakir, Miss Andrea Arinelli (Moorfields undergraduate teaching fellows). The crest used is that of Moorfields eye hospital (unsurprisingly). Video and animation is credited to Alan Lacey of W3 media. Production and lighting was Mike Hill of Mike Hill Productions. It was filmed in April 2009 – at last a video with a decent amount of information.
The narration in today’s video is very good in terms of being measured and calm (despite the fact that there is more than one narrator). The female narrator is quieter and so edges the male narrator out in terms of sleepiness inducing effects.
It isn’t designed for this purpose of course – it is designed to instruct someone who intends to take an eye exam and so we are nefarious observers on a video designed for somebody with a different intent.
At nine minutes thirty-two seconds it is not a huge length of video. There is (as usual) a continuous background noise (most likely air conditioning).
There is just one video so I have not created a playlist for CHECT UK.
However, the playlist of all videos covered in the blog so far is here:
I hope you find these videos restful.
