The Delete Machine
Evil scientist Dr Vetch Valentine has created a machine that can delete anything from existence, all goes awry however once the machine starts deleting away all of his precious underground lab!
The Delete Machine is a solo project I have created as my third year final film at the University of Hertfordshire. My intentions behind this project was to create a traditional slapstick cartoon, one that lends itself to classic tropes while also brandishing its own modern sense of style. I tried to accomplish this by taking the antagoniser of the main character and making it into the personified absence of things. I wanted to make the act of Deleting a character in that of itself as it proceeds to antagonizes and terrorise the main character Dr Vetch. Above all else however I wanted to create something that will make my friends laugh!
Here's some preproduction work surrounding the film's main character Dr Vetch:
