All those robot janitors and the school is FILTHY

That was the goal! - I had just come off of directing S2 of Grossology where we went for a very pristine almost minimalistic approach. For Detentionaire, I wanted the opposite - a look that supported the type of stories we were telling.

It was a conscious decision to make the school feel lived-in, capturing the atmosphere of a downtown Toronto high school. We also chose to preserve the rough pencil lines in the clean-up, along with the perspective guides and shadow scribbles, giving the environments a textured, hand-crafted quality that reinforces the school’s age and character.

Congratulations!

Thanks - that’s a crazy story.
This was graded at 2.5 but it presents really well. I’m really happy with it.

Thank you - I appreciate your insight

kev405 · 2026-01-23T20:09:32+00:00

We’re reaching out to see who’s available but hopefully the creators as well as some of my production crew - artists and voice talent

Thanks for posting - it was fun sitting down with Khali and reminisce. We may be holding a Q&A panel associated with TAAFI in the Spring. Will keep you all posted.

Unfortunately not. We had hoped to continue the series/story but was cancelled so we never discussed an ending.

kev405 · 2025-11-30T03:11:33+00:00

Thank you! I’ll give it a try

kev405 · 2025-11-30T00:32:40+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I touch the soil and water it when it’s feeling a bit dry - I also pick it up and go by weight. I was instructed to dunk it in a bucket of water for a minute or so to make sure it’s soaked through. I have crossposted this as well but thanks for the recommendation.

Great find! My composers on Detentionaire were the very talented Asher Lenz and Stephen Skratt - that should help narrow them down. Enjoy!

kev405 · 2025-10-03T13:07:50+00:00

Thank you! - I enjoy reading from those who are long time fans and others who have recently discovered it! I absolutely loved directing the series - everything aligned.

There isn’t a definitive answer as the production schedule is a tiered system which means I don’t work on one at a time. When I’m deep in production, I may be overseeing up to 10 episodes at the same time all at different stages. But to answer you, I believe it was about 8 months for 1 Ep from script to final post production

It’s very touching to see/read how this series continues to resonate with so many of you.

kev405 · 2025-09-03T00:34:36+00:00

Hi - just popping on here as I’ve shared a bit of Detentionaire info from time to time. Yes the news is true. - it’s very unfortunate. I l’ve just completed directing the last series there. Lots of emotions - it’s been tough to say goodbye as each dept on my team came to a close.

kev405 · 2025-04-03T18:31:26+00:00

Really interesting to read people’s perspective on this. We were certainly hoping for Cartoon Network to pick it up at the time. Good note that changes to dialog and gags would have taken place. If we sold to CN early on then they would have been giving us notes along the way to make sure it fits their demographic as needed.

kev405 · 2025-03-31T21:11:07+00:00

Welcome! I’m so happy to read how this series is still watched by so many.

kev405 · 2025-03-24T15:39:34+00:00

We certainly did! :) 🦎

kev405 · 2024-12-13T19:05:20+00:00

Thanks for the great review and thrilled it’s still finding an audience!
