XANDER VAN DER GOES LEFT
Left Post Productions is a Johannesburg and Cape Town based post production house that is home to top editors like Saki Bergh, Evy Katz and most recently Xander van Der. Based in the Mother City, Xander’s latest work includes a commercial for CR7 Denim, featuring Christiano Ronaldo
and the latest music video for Major Lazer and DJ Maphorisa:
Xander managed to avoid getting stuck as a drummer in the nightlife music scene of Cape Town – “by that I mean I’m not downing beers at the Shack on a Tuesday night, talking about how my band is going to be the next big thing after 6 years of playing the same venues.”
He managed to meet and work for the most wonderful, inspiring and deeply talented editor by the name of Roselle Loots, who, to this day, he still blames for falling in love with editing. Xander has since worked on commercials for some of South Africa’s biggest blue chip brands and ad agencies; some of the work includes Cadbury bubbly:
Cadbury – “Bubbly” from Left Post Production on Vimeo.
and Hyundai Elantra (directed by Paul Ward at 0307 Films)
Hyundai Elantra Director’s Cut from Left Post Production on Vimeo.
He has also worked with ad agencies in Singapore and Paris and continues to grow his career with the team at Left who are starting a few new ventures of their own and, with an editor like Xander, will be a brand to be reckoned with in the SA Film industry.
The neighbours continue dislike him however. Drums are still loud.
