**See's the end of the video** **Put up right hand** **rewinds video** I am now Max, goal achieved

[@ViNncentSmith]

😂

[@carriox]

Is it bad I actually did this thinking I was a special snowflake

[@2011rubik]

OMG BEST COMMENT EVER LOL

[@Rachel-xf3op]

My favorite thing about this video is how condescending and self-assured this character is, without being over-the-top. There's a sense of smugness that he has about his own opinions, but he hides it well under the guise of mentorship.

[@HeatherFeatherASMR]

You did it!!!!!!!!!!! It's perfect! You were made to play Mr. Jefferson! Based on some of the easter eggs in your vid, I take you've played the games/watched play throughs. I really enjoy the series, and I can't wait for the next installment. When they had the little Twin Peaks easter egg in the first chapter, I knew I was going to be into it. Do you think you might ever play Mr. Jefferson again (depending on what the next chapter brings)?

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+Heather Feather ASMR the Twin Peaks reference(s) and the worldbuilding got me. I have high hopes for Mr. J in episode 5. Mind control? A silicone mask? A hologram? I don't know how he'll wriggle out of it, but he's got to! Also, thanks Heather :)

[@concon09090]

"You were made to play Mr. Jefferson" can't really be counted as a compliment anymore XD

[@SenatorBilkins]

+Heather Feather ASMR Oh thank god you dig LiS. Have you ever thought of doing a roleplay thing for it? Or maybe something loosely based on it?

[@kathrynarmstrong9026]

AGREED

[@alexstephen2418]

Heather Feather ASMR this kind of creeps me out tho due to finding out who jeffreson he rlly is

[@Anru93]

I had such a crush on Jefferson and I'm pretty salty that didn't change when I finished the game.

[@kaitlyncollett2118]

+Miguel Ruiz dude what the fuck.

[@rosenia5409]

Lol same xD

[@GhostFan-ev4di]

gay

[@KelseyVulpine]

Same though

[@deffdefying4803]

Pretty sure Miguel doesn’t need to be told that it’s gay, y’all.

[@Bodomi]

I've always loved characters such as Hannibal Lecter(From the TV Show Hannibal), a seemingly very clean and professional person that has some very dark secrets. I love characters like that, and for me at least Mr. Jefferson is like that in Life is Strange, that is one of the few reasons I loved him as a character.

[@haley7138]

Those characters are the best kind

[@sofo02]

Reading someone say that with a guy fieri profile picture really made my day, thanks.

[@Gemini_Woman]

Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal 😍

[@TessaCoddington]

"What color tic tac do you want?" "I don't want one from you! You could be trying to drug me for all I know. Aren't those candy flavored anyway? You literally said I needed a mint but you're giving me candy." **squints** "Green it is, there you go..." "I don't want it." "You're welcome."

[@aveocado]

😂😂😂same

[@hayleyscomet3447]

+Maxine Caulfield I was sad with how it ended.

[@maxinecaulfield7544]

[@TungLe-sx9mg]

Part of me died

[@samwichx]

Hi Max!! :D

[@angethedumbone]

My English teacher looks even more like Mr.Jefferson than this.. I think I should start to worry 😂

[@alolicea]

im jealous

[@sevathakabane424]

yes, because being attracted to a fucking murderer is normal. Even if he is a fictional character. you might want to reconsider what you said.

[@alolicea]

your right tbh..

[@angethedumbone]

Oh I'm not attracted to him at all he's a douche x)

[@forthewin1432]

+Sevath Akabane Cry me a river. His voice is sexy as hell deal with it

[@MattasticASMR]

You've done some of the most well-made and creatively inspiring ASMR videos I've seen, and this one is no exception. Incredible work!

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+ASMattR Hi Matt -- thank you!

[@courtneypangallo8859]

+ASMattR i'm your biggest fan i have watched a lot of your videos

[@DPedro3]

Two of my favorite channels in onw video, lol

[@ericwelch4822]

Do you even know how awesome this is? I can't put it into words. I am always grateful to youtube because of the awesome people i get to see nearly everyday. There is so much passion, talent, and hard work it just blows me away sometimes to think about the gravity of it all. We all live in different places around the globe and lead our own personal lives but this is the one intersection point that we share together. I guess what i am trying to say is, Life is Strange.

[@SoothingSpooks]

+Eric Welch I love you.

[@LilyWhispersASMR]

Can't believe I'm only just coming across this now - beautifully done!

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+Lily Whispers ASMR thank you! Love your channel Lily.

[@DannyDocile]

I used to love this video, and then I actually played the game and fell in love with it completely and almost can't take in anything about this game without getting overly emotional. But I keep coming back to this video because it's incredible. if anyone ever makes a live action of LIS you need to be brought on.

[@leahdavis9434]

There's already a live action version being produced

[@confucheese]

Nice you even implemented the hipster music

[@MaskoftheWraith]

"Slagging people off." I was quite taken aback hearing someone who isn't Irish, or from the UK say that. It's weird when you hear local slang go global y'know?

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+MaskoftheWraith I blame BBC comedies.

[@MaskoftheWraith]

Hahah The Office, aye?

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+MaskoftheWraith The Office, Mighty Boosh, Alan Partridge, Young Ones, Bottom, 'allo 'allo, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Spaced, Red Dwarf, Hyperdrive, etc. Love them all!

[@MaskoftheWraith]

You have good taste my friend! If you haven't already you should watch Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes, great shows.

[@htko74]

+Phoenician Sailor aaaahhhh so awesome you're a mighty boosh fan!

[@bloodtear7366]

you should make another Roleplay as him but in the dark room with needles and tapes and all that i'd love to see that :)

[@TheReapification]

spoilers duh

[@Wanda-ur1yv]

+Jake Hurst with Max too I think?

[@SentinelLyons]

+Jake Hurst ASMR is made to relax you, being kidnapped is not relaxing.

[@bloodtear7366]

Kidd Kat for some people it is relaxing ¬¬

[@alijoc]

+Kidd Kat there are actually asmr roleplays of kidnapping

[@accidentallygraceful]

I haven't actually played Life Is Strange, however... this, like pretty much each other video of yours is magical in cinematic quality. You are truly an artist and I'm so glad you're part of the ASMR community to contribute and inspire.

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+AccidentallyGraceful ASMR you don't know how flattered I am reading that. You perfected the ASMR bokeh, and your voice is fantastic to boot. Thank you!

[@fakeandgayalexis2024]

Need a dark room asmr vid 😭👌🏻

[@Aerith17]

You know... That actually might work.

[@Aerith17]

Never mind he actually made one.

[@NormMaclean33]

Yess

[@OnlyReitasGirl]

This is some seriously great roleplaying! BUT. Am I the only one that is weirdly attracted to his voice? Like DAMN. He could talk me into oblivion lmao

[@lenakingsleigh]

Nope, you're 'hella' not :D Here I am, joining you I need to say, that I liked Jeffersons original voice from the game as well :3

[@OnlyReitasGirl]

Jefferson's voice is nice too, but this guy could tie me onto a chair and read a phone book to me...i'd enjoy it xD

[@lenakingsleigh]

That video was strange. But I suppose life is too...

[@MileyCyrusPartyUSA]

What is strange is people willingly wanting to be put to sleep by Mr. JEFFERSON!!!

[@elviradenham590]

Me: *immersed and legitimately learning about cameras* Mr Jefferson: "...and this is a big one, duct tape." Me: oh wait

[@paraleigosclassics2000]

you look like joel's The Last of Us , it would make a good Joel . Makes a video about The Last of Us , maybe some role play ...

[@thegoodestboy780]

HLOY MOTHER OF GOD YES PLEASE

[@ViNncentSmith]

Do It!

YES PLZ DO IT

[@visee45]

Just yesterday I decided to review the passage of “Life Is Strange” and in the evening I came across this video. My sleep faded into the background because I saw your masterpiece, I watched your video without taking my eyes off the screen for a second. And how happy I was when I saw your video with Mr. Jefferson in the Dark Room. You did an absolutely incredible job! Beautiful lighting, amazing decorations, your image, well-chosen words and expressions that perfectly describe the character, incomparable and magnificent acting skills, you hit the bull's-eye! I was mesmerized by your play. What do you think about a third video as Mr. Jefferson? I (and I’m sure a lot of other subscribers) would be extremely happy to see you in this image again. I would be very interested to see a continuation of this video, I mean Max in the Dark Room. I think, it will be interesting to show the psychopathic nature of Jefferson, his transitions from soft «Look at that perfect face», «Nice… Good… Oh, those eyes…» to an aggressive shouting «Hold that stare there! Stay still!», «You’re so goddamn nosy, Max!». Yes, shouting is not peculiar to ASMR, but we all know that your videos are much more than ASMR. I will be very happy if you read this.

[@tristanfoss7469]

Why does this exist, and more importantly, why do I love it?

[@jackcole1014]

You fit every role you choose perfectly. I mean ER worker, doctor, psychopath, teacher. You fit them all, in a near professional manner. I just enjoy seeing you applying yourself in your videos, regardless if they are my type of video. Your diligence always shows through. We all appreciate you here on the ASMR community, you've proven to be a trailblazer. Not afraid to bend the genre of ASMR. Thank you.

[@clorantsaldana3475]

it's crazy how much you look like him. just finished the game and had to rewatch this :o also props on the lighting setup! what light do you use for that purple glow?

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+Clara Lorant just a purple exterior floodlight plugged into a light stand that wasn't rated for the 150 watts it generated. It got really hot. :|

[@dannyhernandez5387]

When you had a crush on Mr. Jefferson and it low-key didn't change after you found out, and it high-key increased after this video

[@gizemsayir7382]

I feel you

[@elliottsmithfan67]

I-

[@aylayzrianne]

Oh finally! You look like him so I figured it's only a matter of time...and you did it!

[@vonchez32]

I knew he reminded me of someone, and he was mr jefferson

[@Rachel-xf3op]

12:00 "...at the end of your life--I should say, at the end of your professional career-" have I said how much I love the dialogue in this video?

[@rikustorm13]

Analogue/"physical" photography is great because you can actually hold the photos you took But digital photography is also good because you can constantly edit your photos

[@nevermnid]

Creeperson really trying to convince us to take one of his “Tic Tac’s” by insinuating that our breath stinks, huh.

[@ashryver3605]

I absolutely love this video. The discussion and topics brought up were really relevant to myself and honestly kind of soothing to just listen to. It's probably my favourite/closely kept video now.

[@DadArrival]

This video holds up. Your lighting is endlessly impressive, but the audio here is what draws me in completely. Incredible work.

[@PoisonIvy771]

the atmosphere, colour and lighting in this video are fantastic wow. this is a great video to listen to while catching up on photography homework. keep up the good work!

[@IvanSN]

You are seriously the BEST.

[@BramVaschellie]

This was really beautiful...You totally captured the game and I love what you did with the character. Bravo.

[@youlleatamuffinandlikeit4596]

Replace photographer with animator and three years with two, and this conversation feels incredibly personal. Thank you for making this.

[@Sir_Lockmane]

First ASMR video I watched, even before I knew what ASMR even was. Came for the Jefferson roleplay and fell in love with ASMR altogether. Just want to say thank you PhoSail for the work you do, and what has yet to come.

[@captnebulace]

now I gatta go play through this game again, but I'm not ready for the emotional rollercoaster... lol

[@sweatshirt029]

the amount of effort and commitment that you put into your videos is astonishing. nothing short of brilliance.

[@VanillyEmily]

I love how this is my go-to asmr channel when nothing else works. Your content is stellar, and I love how unique you are with your role playing videos ❤️

[@flfb]

Omg a Life Is Strange asmr role play I nearly screamed from excitement. This is my favourite game so I'm really really grateful you actually made this thank you for combining two of my favourite things!! You did such a beautiful job wow

[@2Chonky2Furious]

"I wonder if PS has seen the end of the game yet?" *thinking throughout* *video ends* "Yahhp." Also on a side note, there's some real legit photography lessons in this episode. You know your way around a lens, bravo. Though I suppose that makes sense, as you post well lit, well shot scenes here on youtube. I digress.

[@SLEAZZY.GG.]

I practically shivered at 4:45 when he looked at the camera and said "a student who's Rich" because all i could think of was Nathan and how he just.. used him up... That aside though, this roleplay was fucking stunning.

[@turtlelovesturtlepie]

Like oh my god. The quality of this video even in just the opening gave me chills down my spine! YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!! This was a very very very very well made video and I am greatly honored at this point to have viewed it. Thank you so much for your time in editing, filming, and overall creating such a masterpiece.

[@ScarletDusk99]

Simply a captivating performance. The setting sets this severe mood. Sir, you have an awesome, strong, just intense voice and tone. Very deep performance with a powerful, realistic range. You really made Mark Jefferson come alive. I feel truly moved.

[@maryamth]

To be honest, the first reason for why I subscribed to your channel was the quality of production - video quality specifically - I can describe it in one word: Legendary!

[@vendovi3057]

Yes, same here. Production quality is a selling point for who I subscribe too

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+Mary H thank you!

[@hannahh8696]

This is fantastic. Lovely quality. Lots of tingles. And as a big LiS fan - bravo to both the script and mannerisms!

[@TheGuyWhoWorePants]

Your production value is always just... insane. Awesome work.

[@toprak3479]

That voice is soo good. You really made the character come to life.

[@Bodomi]

If you find time, please make another Mr. Jefferson roleplay, maybe with a bit more subtle hints at the real Mr. Jefferson.

[@woooboboob]

Well your wish was granted a few months ago,maybe you watched it already but just sayin :P

[@Bodomi]

Yea I saw it, thanks though :).

[@sevathakabane424]

Might as well do one in the Dark Room.

[@sevathakabane424]

never mind. He actually made a Dark Room vid. Fuck me.

[@DoctorTardis100]

Came for the Mark Jefferson role-play. Stayed for the impromptu photography lesson. Worth it. Also I never put two and two together about the shutter speed and the duration of the noise the mechanical shutter makes while in motion. Good job!

[@mechaheart]

Wow this is AMAZING. It helped me fall asleep faster than I have in awhile. I thank ER for doing a collab with you that helped me find your channel. Your videos are out of this world; loved the Life is Strange RP. Like others said, you were perfect for this role.

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+mechaheart I'm eternally grateful to Uncle E. Is it weird that we're the same age but I still call him that?

[@Jkoschueva]

You know this is perfect, right? The ending is amazing, so calm yet kinda creepy.

[@BlueShadow1991]

OMG Mr. Jefferson in real life! I'd kill to be in your class--! Oh wait... :D

[@michelleobamasarms725]

My god your work is so beautiful and professional dude. Every single time I watch one of your videos I am absolutely stunned by the talent and hard work you bring to the table. Even if I rarely have time to watch a video through, I love them all so much. Keep up the amazing work you tingly sailor!

[@pomeraniii]

Oh man, you made my life complete. It's sooo good! You're the perfect Jefferson. Maybe even better. I could watch this every day, it makes me so calm. Hope to see even more Life is Strange/Jefferson role plays.

[@PelageaASMR]

Love this light! This is Cinematography + ASMR! ♥

[@DogLeggedPie]

Mate you absolutely made my day, after replaying episodes 1-4 and then listening to this while going to sleep, actually feels like I'm living in Arcadia !!!

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+Russell Alistair I'm not sure that's a good thing!

[@DogLeggedPie]

+Phoenician Sailor good point !! LOL

[@silphax]

I enjoy this video on a good many levels. Your vocabulary is just... superb, really. The eloquence really gives it another level of relaxation for me, personally. The setting is tranquil in all the right ways; given the subtle cricket sounds and the dimmed lights, this video just does a lot of good things for me. Great job once again. You're kind of underrated, I wish you had more exposure so more people could enjoy the art you put out. Either way, looking forward to more from you.

[@EclypsTh1rt3en]

Dude I have to commend you on your props, background and your lighting especially, you took the feel and colors of the game and put them together perfectly. I love the lighting angles, and the color placement and combination are phenomenal. Really great job! (:

[@ThePianoMonster]

You did a very great job, I'm really impressed! Especially the ending was...overwhelming. Awesome work, Mr. Jefferson. :)

[@hughbriss387]

You never disappoint. And at some point one can almost believe that you have just made a normal ASMR video (albeit a technically stunning one) for once. I do hope there's gonna be a follow up, I so want to know what happens in the dark room!

[@SingingASMRSongs]

no you don't!

[@SingingASMRSongs]

probably Ephemeral Rift will show up there aaaaaa

[@hughbriss387]

+Singing ASMR that's exactly why I want to know! Or maybe the master doesn't only get deliveries from the two dodgy doctors in the basement. Maybe he/she/it has a whole network of suppliers.

[@SingingASMRSongs]

+Hugh Briss but I almost cried in episode "the dark room", it was so sad. I don't want that realistic stuff in the mix with the funny horror stuff those guys do 😭😂

[@hughbriss387]

+Singing ASMR I'll admit I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. That may be due to the fact that I've never played the game myself. I trust PS to always incorporate external material into his work in a way that doesn't spoil his unique style though. I mean, Blade Runner is no fairy tale, but his Voight Kampff test video is one of the best things in ASMR-land IMHO! Btw I am listening to your moon river video right now, you have a lovely voice!

[@elliottwalker577]

I have been watching ASMR videos since the community first started forming, and I have never seen something like this. I feel like you're breaking new ground here, and in an amazing way. And all in one take! Which creates such a sense of intimacy. This is something special. Kudos to you.

[@alexinaboxx]

This was incredible and really showcases what a great live action piece this story could be. Thank you.

[@gjisahappytoad9408]

this was pure genius what a great Idea

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+Joshed George I agree it was a great idea, but it wasn't mine. It was nicked from the comments on the Father & Child video from last month.

[@extraterrestrialmoose3399]

+Phoenician Sailor It's still very appreciated....

[@GuildWarsGirl]

+Phoenician Sailor I love you man! :) You make a handsome Jefferson!

[@lilo19951995]

oh my god you look just like him loool amazing vid man

[@patriciapilar5243]

I've watched this so many, many times already, but it's still so relaxing! I love studying whilst listening to this. Thank you for such a wonderful work!

[@Daleylife]

I'm so impressed. You play the character very well and you pay attention to detail and have very important props in the background. I mean, wow.

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+Daleylife the worldbuilding is possibly my favorite part of making these!

[@seebothsideslikechanel8672]

OH MY GOD! THIS IS PERFECT, ILY

[@1blackone]

I have this whole game just sitting in my Steam library when i got it cheap on a humble bundle sale, but never got around to installing it. After this vid, maybe I'll give it a go.

[@IIllytch321nonadinfinitum]

Perhaps no explicit spoilers, but people will question why their beloved yet somewhat mysterious Mr. Jefferson is injecting them with a paralytic, heh. I can't wait for the next episode though. Brilliant story line in this game.

[@i.s.7712]

I really love the cinematic feel and elements in this video.The intro made me feel as if I was in the game.Your acting was superb!You make a marvelous Mr.Jefferson.And guess what?You just got yourself a new subscriber!^-^

I never wanted this game to end, and replay it all the time. Your videos are an excellent extension.. :)

Your production quality and acting skills amaze me. Even the music is there, and the intro sequence...no words. All your videos are masterpieces really, much more than ASMR. Keep your astonoshing originality and good work !

[@gabrihell3]

The lightning and quality of the image are impressives! And I love the colors you have chosen

[@WhisperedSynthsASMR]

I haven't played this game but this has definitely spiked my interest. Very cool work! And love the video lighting.

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+Deluca ASMR thank you sir. Right back atcha on the lighting!

[@eluetime]

it's really cool, i didn't understand all because i'm french but i loved much. The ambience, the purple and orange lights. That respect very well the game and it's a good asmr video! ^^

[@jemiahlequee221]

This is so cool! I have so much respect for the effort you put into your videos, you really managed to capture and recreate the unique atmosphere of this game, right down to the movement of your character. Incredible job.

[@PhoenicianSailor]

+Jemiah lequee I seriously appreciate the appreciation. These comments keep me going.

[@Plumette14]

This is one of the most inspiring ASMR videos I've ever seen, thank you for being amazing, dear Phoenician.

"someone was talking to me in a soft voice"

[@joem1950]

Man i swear he actually pulled my real life file... Nailed every bit of it.

[@circesoasis]

His voice is so soothing and comforting in a weird way, even though the character he is playing is the opposite of either of those. I really like it!

[@krigg]

Good to see you are getting the appreciation you deserve. Quality work as always.

[@IntergaIactico]

One word describes this video, Majestic.

[@zlollylawz]

you haveeeeee to do Another one when episode 5 comes out. great video!

[@shift1109]

Man you are so fantastic. Great video. As soon as I saw it in my feed I knew how perfect you would be at this.

[@MishaShivers]

I like the subtle power play with the tic-tacs early on, that was a nice little touch.

[@GawblyOG]

What camera and lighting setup do you use? It's fascinating!!!

[@PhoenicianSailor]

I use a Canon C100, but the lighting is much more important. I believe I had (not including the actual light you see in scene) 4 lights here. An orange light to fill out the background more than the one bulb did, a purple spot to give the rim light as if I was standing near a window, and two cooler softbox lights to get my face.

[@Ciiphernought]

Phoenician Sailor I really appreciate your attention to aesthetic. Love your stuff PS
