Original Film Score for 'Sport' — Man with a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov)

Composing an original score for the 'Sport' sequence from Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera was both a challenge and a thrill. The clip bursts with energy and movement, and I wanted the music to mirror that vitality while letting the visuals shine. My approach was to create a soundtrack that didn’t just follow the action, but amplified the emotional highs and subtle moments of human effort.

This project pushed me to think like a silent film composer, shaping every phrase to the rhythm and spirit on screen. I had to balance bold, athletic themes with moments of quiet, making sure the music supported the visuals without overwhelming them. Through this process, I deepened my understanding of musical storytelling and refined my orchestration, especially when working with complex textures and fast-paced editing. Ultimately, writing this score taught me how music can breathe life into silent images, forging a connection between sound and movement that feels both timeless and immediate.
