Today I talked to Michelle Brafman about her novel Swimming with Ghosts (Keylight Books, 2023). Until her unemployed husband Charlie volunteers to step in as team coach, professional organizer Gillian Cloud has also controlled the neighborhood swim club and its team. She's a beautiful, much-admired part of the community, but Gillian is living behind a façade, refusing to accept the truth about her father's alcoholism and philandering, suppressing any unpleasantness in order to present her well-known positivity. Her best friend Kristy learns the truth about her own hidden addictions, which surface in a dangerous way and require the support of a former mentor. It's the summer of 2012, and after the ghosts of family addictions appear, and a real derecho destroys the clubhouse and destroys the power grid for several days, both Gillian and Kristy need to come to terms with their past trauma. Michelle Brafman is the author of Bertrand Court: Stories and the novel Washing the Dead. Her essays and short fiction have appeared in Oprah Daily, Slate, LitHub, The Forward, Tablet, and elsewhere. She teaches fiction writing in the Johns Hopkins University MA in Writing Program. She's worked as a coffee barista, radio advertising salesperson, and television producer, among other jobs. She got hooked on writing fiction while she was producing television because she craved another outlet to tell the stories she was gathering. Brafman grew up in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, earned an MA in Fiction Writing from Johns Hopkins University, and in addition to writing, her grand passion is helping others find and tune their narrative voices. A former swim mom and NCAA All-American freestyler, Michelle has never lived more than a mile away from a lake, ocean, or river. Learn more about your ad choices.

Clickbait! War gar nicht so schlimm. Obwohl. Marius und Joscha haben sich gemeinsam als Kameraleute für ein Projekt einkaufen lassen und wurden von allerlei technischem Gerät zutiefst enttäuscht. Der Gimbal zickt, das Keylight fällt aus, die Objektive zeigen merkwürdige Artefakte. Trotzdem wirken die zwei überraschend gut gelaunt. Ob es daran liegt das mittlerweile nur noch LKWs bestückt werden und nicht mehr der Kofferraum von Muttis Kleinwagen? Die Antwort gibt es in Episode 15 der Filmemacher Selbsthilfegruppe. Ab jetzt wieder jeden Sonntag überall wo es Podcasts gibt...also...jeden...naja. Zumindest wenn nicht gedreht wird.

Johnny und Jens reden über die besten Standardeffekte in After Effects, den Roto-Pinsel und kosmische Macht. Die angesprochene Alpha-Ansicht in Keylight heißt übrigens "Status" ^_^
Colin takes advantage of the HP Z800’s massive horsepower combined with the raw speed of the 64-bit Adobe Media Encoder 5.5 to show you how you can output different versions of your comps using a combination of After Effects, Dynamic Link and Media Encoder, while working on new composites, without missing a beat.
