Abstract: Film post-production is a very creative process that also involves some non-creative activities. Such activities often require a significant amount of effort, thus, become a distraction to creative tasks. Common approaches to this problem focus on creation of tools that promote and directly support creativity and impose their use. In contrast to the above view, this work proposes a novel approach that significantly differs from the commonly suggested direct support for creativity. Instead, we argue creativity can be supported indirectly through minimisation of effort related to the non-creative activities. We demonstrate how this idea can be applied with the post-production assistant (PPA), a tool that gives suggestions for solving problems arising from non-creative activities. Thus, we promote a process, where the creative part of the post-production is only marginally distracted. This paper presents the design of the PPA tool including an overview of the crucial technologies used and discusses their application in specific post-production use cases and scenarios. In this context, we emphasise applicability and usefulness of semantic web technologies in the creative processes of film making.
