Jason Lyell brings 12 years of Broadcast, Media Management, Training/Support, and Project Lead experience to any project. Mr. Lyell owns and operates a video production company formed in 2001, Digital Video Productions, LLC. The broadcasting career started in 1996 as a Production Assistant for CNN Sports Illustrated in Atlanta, GA. From that point forward, the career focus has leaned toward the technical aspects for television broadcasting networks. Mr. Lyell has worked very closely with engineering staffs, assisting with the planning, development, and implementation of MAM systems, provided written training documentation and workflows, developed testing plans, delivering training, and providing multi leveled support. Mr. Lyell has been involved and provided a key technical role in several broadcast launches such as CNNSI, Time Warner Center, Pinnacle Edit installation for Atlanta Media Operations, Apple/B4M installation in DC, Fox Business Channel launch, and the Weather Channel HD upgrade/launch. His strengths are working closely with engineering staffs and user groups, managing projects, testing, providing workflow analysis and support, and he brings years of expertise in editing applications, with an emphasis on Final Cut Pro.

In 2001 Mr. Lyell formed Digital Video Productions, LLC. As owner of the company, DVP specializes in various forms of video productions ranging from Corporate, Event, Home Tour, and Wedding Videography. All video is shot and edited in HDV format, and DVP uses a complete Apple based workflow solution and output to DVD in various web formats. In 2007, DVP was hired to shoot and edit Jane Fonda's 70th birthday party and selected for a third straight year to cover Bert's Big Adventure/Q100 sponsorship video. Media Strategy Partners selected Mr. Lyell/DVP in May 2007 to cover the Project Management role for the Weather Channel HD upgrade in Atlanta, GA., managing overall schedules, developing workflows, testing, training, and developing support strategy.
