marcusherring.com https://marcusherring.com/Cinefamily Cinefamily Former Art House Institution For nearly a decade, Cinefamily was Los Angeles’s premiere art house institution--influencing cinematheques worldwide with its fresh take on public exhibition and breathing new life into the concept of film curation as an art form.&nbsp; Though it‘s now long gone, having closed under a firestorm of controversy, I’m proud of the work I did there as an employee. I had done one-off shows and motion graphics design at Cinefamily as a volunteer since early days, but I was offered a job in 2015 when I officially came on as a creative director.&nbsp; One of the first things I did was make a logo animation for our film releases. <img width="1500" height="633" width_o="1500" height_o="633" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/77c5843e92324298eefd59fec5ac663a684b44295f7d70131f3916a29a4963dd/01-CINEFAMILY-LOGO-HALF-RES.gif" data-mid="158050874" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/77c5843e92324298eefd59fec5ac663a684b44295f7d70131f3916a29a4963dd/01-CINEFAMILY-LOGO-HALF-RES.gif" /> Belladonna of Sadness In 2015, Cinelicious Pics asked our recommendation for rare films worthy of restoration.&nbsp; The first film we selected was 1974’s lost masterpiece The Belladonna of Sadness.&nbsp; Having been a fan of this film for over a decade, I was thrilled to work on promotion for the release, making the poster and official trailer. I wanted the film’s trailer to be seen as it’s own individual work of art, so I came up with a unique visual concept for the trailer based on traveling mattes. <img width="900" height="1367" width_o="900" height_o="1367" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7907e680a6a05879f51a06ecb7a0993e9251b0e665ebb3ab3f969a890167abc1/belladonna-poster-10.png" data-mid="158051760" border="0" data-scale="72" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/900/i/7907e680a6a05879f51a06ecb7a0993e9251b0e665ebb3ab3f969a890167abc1/belladonna-poster-10.png" /> Funeral Parade of Roses Cinelicious partnered with us again for the restoration of Funeral Parade of Roses.&nbsp; Again, I was a huge fan of the film so I was honored to make this trailer for the release.&nbsp; This is a pretty good example of my editing style. Posters &amp; Trailers One of my responsiblities was to determine how to market our original events and supply a steady stream of posters and trailers.&nbsp; Here’s a bunch of examples. <img
