Namely, I was tasked with composing the soundtrack. Unlike most production scenarios, what made some of these projects particularly interesting was the bidirectionality of collaboration and content creation. As a result, at times, visuals dictated the pace (as is the case in most traditional productions), while in other situations, soundtrack required adjustments to visual pacing. Although this kind of an approach may not be most economical in terms of time and resources, I am convinced that the ensuing\u00a0bidirectional creative endeavor\u00a0yields better results because instead of one modality being entirely subservient to another and thereby required to fix\u00a0potential pacing potholes with usually sub-par filler content, here modalities reinforce each other by influencing each other&#8217;s pace and by doing so\u00a0eliminating\u00a0potential weak spots. On this page are\u00a0two such creations. <em>with delicate risk\u00a0<\/em>(2007), pictured above,\u00a0being purely artistic, and\u00a0<em>Center for the Arts\u00a0Virtual Tour<\/em>\u00a0(2007) whose primary\u00a0purpose was fundraising for Virginia Tech&#8217;s Moss Arts Center, a $100M project completed in 2013, hosting\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.artscenter.vt.edu\/Online\/\">Center for the Arts<\/a>\u00a0and the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (<a href=\"http:\/\/ico.bukvic.net\/main\/icat\/\">ICAT<\/a>). For optimal\u00a0listening experience, consider using\u00a0either a dedicated sound system or quality headphones.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Center for the Arts\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/8091401?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"432\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Below is another example from around the same time. I had to compose and produce music within 72 hours for a\u00a0University Media Relations (Virginia Tech) promotional video on the arts at Virginia Tech and the Performing Arts Center we aspired to\u00a0build. Needless to mention, I was younger and could more easily withstand two sleepless nights in a row. Due to time constraints, composing and rehearsing with a real orchestra simply wasn&#8217;t an option, so I opted for composing directly inside a digital audio workstation. Somewhat in contrast to the previous two examples, seemingly weird timings and interruptions are driven by the video content and\/or\u00a0scene changes considering that this project was\u00a0more of\u00a0a traditional production pipeline (video first, audio last). I also seem to remember spending quite a bit of time trying to make instruments sound more realistic, particularly solo runs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ico.bukvic.net\/Audio\/Pac.mp3\">University Relations Reel<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the years, I engaged in a number of collaborations where my contribution was perhaps a bit more traditional in scope.
