April 21, 2014

Justin Lyons life was hugely impacted by the death of his good friend and colleague Steve Irwin, best known as the Crocodile Hunter. Steve was stabbed over a hundred times by a stingray with a final blow to the heart that killed him. Justin was in the water filming Steve at the time and it could have quite easily have been Justin who died. This event had a profound effect on Justin and set him on the path that has led to the creation of a documentary called E-Motion.

About Justin Lyons


For 20 adventure-filled years Justin has immersed himself in the swirling waters of production – working on TVCs, Documentaries, TV Series, Feature Films, and The Crocodile Hunter phenomenon. Justin’s career kicked off at The Best Picture Show where he learnt the art of television production from some of the best in the business. Ironically a beer commercial led to the very first Crocodile Hunter documentary and for the next several years Justin travelled to every corner of the planet shooting Steve Irwin. Justin’s strength is his ability to get the job done no matter what. No shot is too difficult, no request is too outrageous, no amount of fun is too much and no result is unachievable.  He’s sprinkled his magic over thousands of hours of top-drawer television: working as producer, production manager, 1st AD, cameraman, underwater photographer and even crocodile wrangler! Justin has produced award winning international documentaries for US networks NBC, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and the Travel Channel. In Australia he’s produced TV series with Imagination Entertainment for Network Seven, Sunshine Beach Pictures for Fox 8 and Eyeworks for CI Network.
