									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I got fed up of looking for people to work with, for each time I&#8217;d want to work with someone, I&#8217;d realize they never bothered to really learn the craft. So I started teaching. Of course someone had to fund the training program, and I&#8217;m glad DOEN does this for me.

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No, I haven&#8217;t yet gotten a favorite. I quickly move on once I finish a work, but the one I really had fun making was <a href="https://youtu.be/cAsHgW91caA" rel="nofollow ugc">Kifaro</a>, because by then a lot of things had fallen into place. I was more comfortable with visual effects and I could experiment with stuff that I&#8217;d been afraid to even think about before.</p>
