Summary

Once upon a time, there were two kingdoms that were the worst of neighbours. So vast was the discord between them that it was said only a great hero or a terrible villain might bring them together. In one kingdom lived folk like you and me, withna vain and greedy king to rule over them. They were forever discontent, and envious of the wealth and beauty of their neighbours. For in the other kingdom, the moors lived every manner of strange and wonderful creature. And they needed neither king nor queen, but trusted in anoter. In a great tree on a great cliff in the moors lived one such spirit. You might take her for a girl, but she was not just any girl. She was a fairy, her name was Maleficent.

One day Maleficent met with Stefan, he is human that lost in the moors and Maleficent liked him. Before stefan left her, they shaked hands but Stefan’s ring burned fairies. Maleficent tought of how stefan cast away his ring, he who had so little in the world, so that their hands might touch again, and her heart was moved. Thus did the young thief who had hoped to steal a jewel, steal something far more precious.

Stefan come again in the moors to meet with Maleficent. Stefan and Maleficent become the most unlikely of friends. And for a time it seemed as if. In them at least, the old hatred between men and fairies had been forgotten. As it will, friendship slowly turned into something else.

On her 16th birthday, Stefan gave Maleficent a gift. He told her, it was true love’s kiss. But it was not to be. As the years passed, Stefan’s ambition pulled him away from Maleficent, and towards the temptations of the fairies, rose to become the protector of the moors. Maleficent often wondered alone and sometimeswondered where Stefan might be, for she had never understood the greed and envy of men. But she was to learn. For the human king had heard of a growing power in the moors, and he sought to strike it down.

The king lost battle with Maleficent and the king said that everyone who could kill the winged creature and they would take the crown. Stefan came to the moors and met Maleficent. They spoke of many things, and the year faded way. And she forgave Stefan his folly and his ambition, and all was as it had been long ago. Stefan gave poison drinks to her and finally she lept. Stefan stolen Maleficent’s strong wings. He gave to the king, after the accident, Stefan became  a king in the human kingdom and he got married with the previous king’s daughter. They had a beautiful baby.

Maleficent curse the baby. She said that the baby will grow up become a beautiful girl, cheerful, and she never feel sad. But, before the sunset on her 16th birthday, she will prick her fingers on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall in to a sleep like death, a sleep from which she will never awaken. The girl can be woken from her death sleep, but only by true love kiss. The curse will last until the end of time and no power in the earth can change it. Maleficent says like that because she don’t believe true love.

King Stefan ordered his men to seize every spinning wheel in the kingdom. The wheels were broken and burned, that king might never be used, and thrown into the deepest dungeon in the kingdom. Secretly, he entrusted the safety of the child to the magic of the pixies, who would take her to a remote hide away for 16 years and a day. Stefan shut himself behind the walls of his castle while his soldiers rode far and wide to hunt Maleficent down. But she made walls of her own, that the moors might never again suffer the touch of any human. And she revelled in the sorrow that her curse had brought.

The fairies began their charge to raise Aurora (Stefan’s daughter) in a snug little cottage in the woods. The fairies were perhaps unequal to their task. As the days went on, Stefan darkened, further consumed by paranora and vengeance.

As Maleficent had said, Aurora did grow in grace and beauty. Far away from the lofty palace that she remembered not. And as the reason changed and the flowers grew, so did she.

Aurora was 16 years old and she pricked her fingers on the spindle of a spinning wheel and felt in to  slept like death. Maleficent came to the kingdom and she saw Aurora slept. She would leave the kingdom but before she left, she kissed Aurora and she woke up.

In the kingdom, Maleficent had a battle with Stefan and his soldier. When the battle happened, Aurora found the Maleficent’s wings and run to her and then gave the wings. In the end, Maleficent won the battle and Stefan was dead.

Maleficnt brought down her wall of thorns and took off her crown. And she invited Aurora to see how the mors had been once, long ago, when Maleficent was but a child and her heart way bright.

Cinematography

The live action motion capture connected to the animation process in this Maleficent is for the capture shoot use two cameraman for each of the actors, one getting reference for close up and one for a full shot. Actors also use a full body capture suit, and a helmet with four cameras to capture detail facial tracking with 200 facial markers.the custom head camera system also operated at a higher resolution and frame rate for greater accurancy. Editorial would take that footage and cut it together with pictures inserts. At that point, it gets into the animator’s hands.

The animators continue to refine the blocking and start on the animation. There are some dialog changes that happen, get new audio for that, and new camera reference shots, and have to adjust for that. That was not even captured, the animator would have to do that as key frame.

At some point animation gets signed off on that off to lighting and lighting does its own iterations, as does compositing. Sometimes these different depatments overlap, the animators decided early on that they wanted to build comps with a huge number of lavers, providing control of virtually every aspect of the models. The pixie wardrobes, their faces, their bodies as well as the lighting and material properties.

Meant that any small changes cuold be handled in 2D by the compositors and lighters, rather than needing to go back to be rendered in 3D from the beginning. With all of this happening in near real time, they were able to reduce the amount of time spent on integrating CG into the plates, and more time on beauty while also reducing the amount of time it took for the scenes to leave hands to wind up in theaters.
