Even before the premiere of the film "Malifisenta" to great acclaim. The reason for that - and participate in the project, Angelina Jolie, and ambiguous - a sinister and attractive at the same time - the image of the main character, who on the set so frightened the children that "children" episodes had to invite young daughter Jolie. Secrets that used directors, costume designers and makeup artists to create a masterpiece image of a witch - in this material.
"As a child I loved Maleficent. She was my favorite character of the universe Disney. I was afraid of her, but still loved. We decided to ask the question: "Why is it so?" I would like to see all of the audience felt that they were in a world that had never seen before - the world of Maleficent, "- said Angelina Jolie.
The film's director Robert Stromberg set the task not to bring the film to fiction, Maleficent by Jolie was supposed to be a real character. Therefore, to start shooting, the team added a little unusual moves.

Most had to work directly above the horns.
"After many experiments, we stayed on the helmet, which is attached to the base of the horns. Horns fastened themselves with powerful magnets that held processes in place, even when moving the head. Between takes, the horns were removed "- said Baker.
