This special release has been made available in honor of Makeup FX's 9 year birthday. This was the last release anticipated for the Makeup FX series, returning to combining all FX books into one. You will also find the Screenwriting Bible, as this original version was removed from Makeup FX 13. Finally, I have included the rerelease of Makeup FX 2.0, which I called 1.5 as it was what 1.0 then 2.0 originally intended to be.

Right now, plans on FX has ceased due to difficulties in finding people who wish to help in this project, especially in filming a video version of many recipes geared towards an amateur film-making crew. Should things change, the FX community will be notified.

Furthermore, I would like to thank Lars Carllsson for hosting this special collection. It is important creative people work together, especially during these turmoil times.

Please respect that this collection should only be hosted by Lars Carllsson by not uploading it your own server. Two editions of this collection can be found - an installation edition and a stand-alone edition. Lars will choose which he decides to host.

Avid FX users, I would like to thank you for making a dream of a once-13 year old come alive and may you continue to improve your effects.

Be As It May,

- Kelcey Coe, 16 February 2009
