Abstract
Much research on creativity and creation processes has been conducted in the domain
of psychology and cognitive science. In recent years, a particular focus of research inter-
est has been the social context of creativity and creation processes. However, there are
two problems with the picture that emerges from these previous studies: 1) the studies
were static, and 2) it is not yet clear how creators prepare resources for creative activ-
ity. I performed fieldwork of activities of filmmaking students, in order to investigate
the concrete preparation of resources by members of creation teams towards creative
activity. Analysis of my field notes clarified the following points: 1) in preparing re-
sources towards creative activity, the creation plan played the role of a hub; 2) the plan
of creation and the prepared resources are mutually constituted; and 3) preparation
of resources towards creative activity is leading to the development of a network of
resources. Finally, I discuss the meaning of cognitive scientific research in the field.
