And she was the first to want the applications and a different nose in the face.
4) The Maleficent Angelina Jolie wearing contact lens hand-drawn. "Angelina has designed," said Rick Baker makeup designer. "The lenses have been hand painted by an artist, a true expert in his field. I have a co-worker who always does this work for us; we did take pictures of the eye and we have amplified a little 'effect."
5) In the short scene of the encounter between Aurora and Maleficent to five years, the little princess is played by Vivienne, the gemellina daughter Jolie-Pitt.

The story of Basile brings us a Queen cruel, jealous and vindictive, married to the King and to this place in the royal family which, however, inflicts a curse. In Perrault, who introduced the element of the fascinating prince whose kiss could break the spell, the evil was represented by a bad fairy. Maleficent invented as we know it today the writers and animators of the twentieth century and the actress Eleanor Audley, who was taken as a reference in the flesh to make the witch in The Sleeping Beauty in 1959 and was also voice actress.

In all were handmade over 2000 dresses. For only Sharlto Copley, who plays King Stephen, have been created 35.
11) The horns, 30 centimeters high, have been a major problem because of the look had to be read and functional so that Angelina reciting and moved with ease. Baker and his team have created digital sculptures of at least four different versions of horns. Then were carved digitally, was chosen the preferred model and the team worked on the basis of that plan. Are made of urethane resin, very light and thin.
"After several tests, we finally chose a large cap on which rest the horns and their base of about 2 inches," said Baker. "The rest of the horns is applied with a magnet. We have used very strong magnets to hold them but this way we could also remove them between takes and the other." Also from the point of view of safety, the magnet has proved an excellent solution, such as when Jolie was engaged in stunts on set. "If bumped against something, the horns fell off easily. But this has forced us to make several duplicates, because when the magnets falling to the ground, broke. There we also had horns rubber to be used for scenes busiest, so we were sure that no one would get hurt. "

There is a spring look that is a narrow strip of leather sewn together to create a ribbed effect, then painted and lacquered. Then there is the headdress made with stingray leather and lined on the sides.
14) The filmmakers decided that the creatures belonging to the fairy world have Celtic origins, why Sam Riley, who plays the raven Foso, had to take lessons in Irish dialect. "The Irish accent or even Scottish, helps to add a kind of playfulness to interpretation," said the actor.

They were built about 40 sets of different sizes, from 4 to 1,500 square feet. Have been recreated so many different environments, from the picturesque landscapes typical of Northern Europe to entire castles, to mellow the world of fairy tales.
