Genie Workbench is a suite of film & teleivision production software that assist filmmakers in many production tasks. Genie Workbench result of the collaboration between the Business Process Management Group (BPM Group) of Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and the Centre for Screen Business (CSB) of The Australia Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS).

History

In 2005, the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCi) invited QUT and AFTRS into one of CCi's research track "Enterprise Formation and Sustainability" under the project title "Business Process Management"[1]. The objective of this research track is to "Bring BPM to the Creative Industries".

In 2007, the research team embarked on the YAWL4Film initiative. Inspired by Yet Another Workflow Language (YAWL), YAWL4Film explores the creation of tangible software artifacts that aim to automate many film production imperatives. The first prototype of YAWL4Film focusing on production life cycle was based directly on YAWL Process Model and was successfully tested on two AFTRS student projects.

In May 2008, a revised prototype focusing on call sheet generation of YAWL4Film was successfully pilot run on a full feature film[2]. Having this initial success, the YAWL4Film started designing and working on Genie Workbench. The team took a role-based approach to design and developed Genie Workbench based on the roles held by key-appointment holders in a production setting (i.e. assistant directors). The result is set of software modules specifically developed for different roles.

The first version of Genie Workbench was launched on March 27, 2009. This phase consists of three software modules, namely: Genie Schedule, Genie Cast and Genie Crew. All three software modules are free to install and use, using Java Web Start. Each module runs as a software application on the desktop (supporting both Mac OS and Microsoft Windows).

A production management module is currently under-development. This production management module will allow filmmakers to manage information created by the other software modules.
