HOST is a found-footage horror short produced at NCCA Bournemouth — built in CG and comp with night-vision sequences referenced from real Sony Handycam IR footage. Fred Prigg handled the leg asset pipeline, Houdini Vellum cloth and blood simulation, Nuke compositing for shots 1 and 2, and contributed to the USD pipeline and Solaris setup.
