Eric Roberts on Tweeting, Acting and Music

I had the opportunity to talk with Actor Eric Roberts this morning about his appearance tonight in NBC’s Action Comedy “Chuck” We talked about the fun behind shooting a show like this and how it was going to be a suprise guesting to his friend Zachary Levi who is Chuck. Eric told me how the “cat got out of the bag” which seems to be harder to keep secrets these days because of the internet.

With an Actor of Eric’s talents and years of work, he has developed many passions that he is able to share with the followers on his Twitter Account, especially that of music. Eric has been in several Music Videos for artist from Akon to Mariah Carey and every one of them has been succesful. He also shared with us one of his favorite new artist musically, that of his talented stepson Keaton Simons. The website for Keaton features his music and news of upcoming events. http://www.keatonsimons.com

With the ability to use Twitter as a celebrity and share promotional events and newfound passions with the followers, the downside of the internet is the loss of privacy and the ability to have a surprise. Eric told me that you have to realize that this is the way of the world and if you don’t beleive it, your “only deceiving” yourself. Tune in and listen to segment with Actor Eric Roberts and watch for him in Tonights Episode of Chuck and the film currently in production “New York Heartbeat.”  Be sure to visit the Official Eric Roberts Website at http://www.ericrobertsactor.com and also listen to our chat with Eric Roberts at http://www.techtalkradio.com/celebrities/ericroberts.html

Andy Taylor spoke with Sony Creative Software Product Manager for Sony Vegas Pro 10 Matthew Brohn this afternoon about some of the new features and updates in the Video Editing program. One of the most unique featured added is the ability within the program to edit videos shot in Stereoscopic 3D. This is becoming a trend in specialty productions and Sony has this capability to edit and fine tune the process in the program.

Matthew shared with Andy some of the features involving the Open Effects architecture for plug-in effects that should see strong support from developers and writers of effects plug-ins. Audio is also another major part of the Video Editing program with integration of Digital Surround Sound 5.1 and effects which can be worked into the Master Edit list. Speaking of that, if you have used previous version and wanted to know if your edit list can be supported, the answer according to Matthew is yes. Sony engineers took an edit list from 1999 and imported that list into the current Vegas Pro 10 with no problems.

Tune in for the segment with TechtalkRadio’s Andy Taylor and Sony Creative Softwares Matthew Brohn and find out how you can try out Sony Vegas Pro 10 for 30days Free and have access to support for question during your trial. http://www.techtalkradio.com/software/sonyvegas10.html

May the Fez Be With You

Andy Taylor at TechtalkRadio has posted an interview with The Force behind http://www.fezorama.com Artist Jason Rodgers talked with Andy about the original idea for the e-commerce site that showcases Custom Fez Creations and how in 1990-91 it really wasn’t viable to just promote over the BBS. Several years later, the artist had not given up on the thoughts of creating his Fez designs and put them on a website he created.

Jason also shared hurdles and concerns when he started up the site but also ways he was able to develop using Open Source software. The idea for success lays in the fact that Jason understands that the market is not only going to come from the surrounding area but also from a worldwide audience of potential buyers. Using the Social Networking of Twitter and Facebook not only allows the marketer to connect with the potential shopper but also form friendships with like minded artist.

Whether it be a different Fez or a complete custom for your event or happening, Jason Rodgers has carved out a pretty strong following and it’s all due to his craft and to the power of the fez.  Listen in to the interview with Jason at http://www.techtalkradio.com/internet/fezorama.html
