I worked at Valencia in the Digital Media Department from 2001 to 2013 as an Instructional Assistant. During this time, I completed several professional development courses with John Lynn at Genius DV, which greatly enhanced my skills and benefited my colleagues and students. John is highly skilled, adapts his teaching to all levels and age groups, and is both professional and personable. Sincerely, Ismael “Esh” Velazquez

I am the owner-operator of Beyond 8 Video in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area, producing industrial videos, commercials, and multi-camera stage events. I manage writing, directing, editing, and production for various projects, with a focus on live stage multi-camera production. In January 2008, I met John Lynn and completed training in AVID Media Composer and Final Cut Pro editing programs under his instruction. Since then, my staff and many colleagues have received training or guidance from John Lynn. His approach has influenced our work processes in digital media production. My professional development in the field has included mentorship from John, which has contributed to the current operations of Beyond 8 Video.

“During the 19 years I was employed at Lockheed Martin as Multimedia Production Analyst Senior Staff through to when I was Enterprise Technology Programs Manager there I hired John on multiple occasions to provide professional Video Editing instruction for Lockheed Martin employees at corporate locations across the US. He provided professional Avid Media Composer Non-Linear Editing training to our Media Services personnel in 2000, 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2013. He made complex systems and processes easy to understand because as an experienced Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro and Avid Media Composer editor himself, he has a detailed and practical knowledge of the material he presents. He clearly explains the mission and interactively custom builds the curriculum of the training at the beginning of the course, then systematically accomplishes the learning goals while providing opportunities for extra help if required. He supervises and mentors’ students providing creative solutions to guide them through their assigned projects from concept to delivery. When presented with a technical editing dilemma in long-form narrative or short-form commercial format, he often has innovative answers that help everyone involved re-think their previous conclusions where the solutions had been very challenging for them.”

“I worked with John for 3 years at a major system integrator in Cleveland, Ohio. My current job at a very large school district required me to make some major program changes and John was there for us. We brought him in and in addition to providing excellent training he made everyone feel super comfortable while learning new and complex techniques. He is super nice, and everyone left feeling confident about our new software. Highly recommend John!”
