Anna Malkin Wall Art

Anna Malkin is an independent artist, video director, editor and producer who originally came from Saskatoon. She is also an instructor of media software and editing, an inspiring animator, and an independent video and film maker. Despite her precision technical abilities, Anna is an artist first and her editing craft has developed with inventive and unconventional aesthetic in animation. She briefly attended the University of Saskatchewan before she migrated to Toronto and The Ontario College of Art. She started animation work at the Ontario College of Art in the late 80s. About 10 years later, she relearned everything she knew about analogue and video in order to edit in a digital format.

Anna has been editing for herself and others since then. More recently she has built up her repertoire to include DVD Authoring and has also developed her skills in After Effects animation. Ann has always loved animation so the addition of After Effects and Photoshop in her software knowledge was a natural progression. Ann learnt a lot under her father, Melvyn Malkin, after which she created the Raku Sheep in 2008. She has established her raku studio on Hornby Island. She teaches DVD Studio Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Final Cut Pro. As an instructor she is sensitive to a variety of learning needs and she goes to the workshops with an alternative and fun approach. She has extensive knowledge of FilemakerPro, ProTools, Retrospect, small system administration, and archiving practices and general file management.
