So, I watched Audimatrix/Prime Queen again, and it was very enlightening to look back at it.

First, let us appreciate this wonderful shot of Tikki freaking out because Marinette is going to go on Nadja’s show and supposedly reveal all of her secrets on national television, putting everyone in jeopardy.

Second, let us appreciate that nice detail of the sun coming in through the window and the shadows of Marinette’s ladder in the background. That’s such a nice touch! I always love the little details like that that the animators include. Things like light and reflections are fascinating to me, and I always appreciate that level of attention to detail. uwu

I also have a new appreciation for Adrien’s love of baked goods. The poor boy arrives on set and promptly begins to devour all of the snacks like he hasn’t been fed that day. They show the snacks being wheeled away later, and Chat wistfully watches them go, stuffing one last chouquette in his mouth. #Adrien/Food

One thing I didn’t notice before was that Marinette goes downstairs and transforms in the hallway...but then it looks like she exits as Ladybug through her attic? Maybe she went out a side window and yoyo-ed up to her balcony, but this shot makes it look like, after transforming in the stairwell, she goes back upstairs as Ladybug and exits through her room...where Alya and Manon currently are. ^.^;

I see a lot of posts about Chadrien’s appreciation of croissants and/or macarons (myself included for the latter tbh, passion fruit ftw), but why does no one ever seem to talk about the fact he loves chouquettes?

Dark Owl was rather funny and surprisingly effective. Audimatrix and Riposte seemed the most hell bent on murder—it was a bit of a shock.

The thing with Arlette is she was a one-time character (sorry to anyone theorizing she is Chloé’s mom). The episode needed a character to put pressure on Nadja during her interview with LB and CN and that’s it. All this Arlette character needed to be was to be be intimidating, patronizing, unreachable. 

They didn’t need to create another model because they could take one from their background characters bank (which they did)...

FYI this screenshot is from Season 1 Jackady (Simon Says) episode 

... and set her in the dark control room and play with the angle shots...

... in order to give a generic model the intimidating vibe they needed for the character along with good lines and acting to deliver those.
