Overview

HLADEKA is a character development system Integrating traditional method acting techniques with cyber-social networks for film actors.

The Process


In order to test the system, HLADEKA is in use by several acting participants geographically located in various locations throughout the United States for the independent film “chosen fallen”. These individuals possess no formal training in acting and have voluntarily agreed to participate without pay or compensation.



The process starts with the director’s preconceived character bios and an understanding of time and place that they enter into the time line of events extracted from the screen play as to identify the intended interactions between acting participants in the real before production. Next, an individual that has qualities corresponding to a specific character bio is invited as an acting participant to portray the character.



Next, the acting participants activate online profiles via MySpace, FaceBook, Friendster and/or other cyber social networks, produce character driven blogs, and participate in online performances personifying their assigned characters in virtual space as “real” individuals. Acting participants also portray and network their characters in the “real” life as well interjecting life experiences engaging with a public audience creating content for their online profiles contributing to an enhanced character development.
