Except it’s in your head and the campfire is your burning passion for bacon (and your saliva which is what activates the candy). The crackling will continue until the candy dissolves into nothing. Lots of things taste like bacon, but how many sound like bacon

Serial Taxi, Short Animated Film About a Woman Afraid She is Riding With the Notorious Taxi Killer

By Justin Page on August 16, 2013

“Serial Taxi” is a short animated film by 3D artist Paolo Cogliati about a “young business woman who takes a chilling ride and realizes her cab driver could be the notorious Taxi Killer.” Paolo produced his film at the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. The “Serial Taxi” soundtrack is available to download for free on SoundCloud.

The film took approximately one year to produce, starting from concept and story to final render and composite.
The story of “Serial Taxi” was actually based on a real experience Paolo had while visiting Russia. Although he came across no killers, a particular taxi driver that was supposed to take him to the airport (and eventually, thankfully did) behaved very much like Boris from the film.
