Lasse Noer wanted to be creative, to learn the theory and to mould his own education. This made him choose the exchange programme at VIA Film & Transmedia.
“As a child I thought my future career would be as a professional soccer player - like almost every other boy. But then at home we had an old video camera, and me and my friends from school started making funny videos. That was the beginning for me,” Lasse says with a great laugh.
The old dream of being a soccer player did not come true, but his new dream of becoming a filmmaker did.
“Working with moving images takes a lot of practice and hard work, but it is fun.”
Lasse comes from Denmark and is an exchange student from the Danish programme Multiplatform Storytelling and Production at VIA University College.
What the clients want
One of the things he found most interesting on the exchange programme is the time he spent with clients, trying to figure out what they want.
He explains that knowing what clients want and how they think is an important part of his education. Also, if the clients’ wishes compromise his own creative ideas.
