The ASMR subreddit defines the phenomenon as “a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp. It is commonly triggered by soft or accented voices, personal attention, ambient sounds or watching people work silently, among others.” Put differently, it’s a tingly pleasure derived from the small, subtle sound effects that otherwise go unnoticed in daily life.

“The fact that the food is REAL is totally magical.”

The most pervasive theory regarding the popularity of this hobby is related, surprisingly, not to the visual component, but to the audio. The sounds of the video appeal to those who enjoy autonomous sensory meridian response, otherwise known as ASMR.

Take Miniature Space’vs videos, which allow the viewer to feel this sense of control, a relief for the majority of people, whose lives are shaped by the forces of nature, aging and economic systems in which they’re an unremarkable statistic. If working with and creating fake, plastic food allows these miniatures creators to feel a comforting amount of agency, then creating real food—something that is not only nourishing but enticing, on furniture so small, is nothing short of a minor triumph—and probably still cheaper than therapy.

LIGHTS CAMERA COOK

To record high-quality location sound the right type of microphone must be used: ultra-directional for external locations, directional (shorter) for interiors, and nondirectional for cramped interiors.

The more directional the microphone, the greater the extent to which it selectively picks up sounds from its front end, and the higher the signalto-noise ratio will be.

Getting a good camera with a microphone would help you spend less time editing and more time focusing on the making of your minature creations.

Usually when we think of cooking, we’d picture it happening in a kitchen. However, this is where Miniature Space decides to embrace the appeal and uniqueness of miniature cooking utensils by placing them out of the typical kitchen setup and creating environments according to the type of food being cooked.

With this, a whole new world can be created by branching off of the cooking aspects.

This relates to Mise-en-scène, the way to create a visual theme or to tell a story through cinematography, storyboarding or stage design. The opening scene means more effort is taken to immerse your audience into this unique miniature world. Here’s how to create your own Mise-en-scène!

Her DIY videos are very useful if you’d like to have some tools such as knives and pans but don’t have the budget to buy the tools. Her knives, made of can lids, are just as handy and she demonstrates their sharpness when cutting up vegetables for her miniature cooking. If you would like a touch of handicraft and personalisation into your mini kitchen, her videos show you exactly how to get started.

Her talent for miniatures is tremendous. From painstakingly designing and breaking down actual products into miniatures like aluminium foil wrappings and facial wipes to engineering fully functional blenders and sinks, her dedication to her craft is no joking matter.
