Here is one of the first Shenoi videos I saw:
And about the next, from 2012, he told his fellow FFCs:
"This montage of my work over the last couple years, ranging from my films and animations to my books and paintings. Most of the work glimpsed here can be seen in its entirety on my website, krishnabalashenoi.wordpress.com: .
"The song is "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" from the album "In Rainbows," by Radiohead."
And here's the first look I had of Krishna's work, made when he was 14 years old! The photo below it captures the young director when he was still younger still.
