You are rock solid and one of the best operators,
if not the best I have had the pleasure to work with. I always have confidence
when you are on set, plus you are a good guy. So I definitely look forward to
working with you in the future.

Gilbert E. Parrish, Founder and CEO --
Parrish, Brumfield A Associates
Robert,
Thanks SO much for your usual superior efforts and support
to produce the 2011 PAGE Summer Conference! The client is
EXTREMELY pleased! It's great to have the "team" back
together. I appreciate you and Glenn so much. I never take
either of your considerable talents for granted.

Peter Metz,
Owner/Producer -- ZOOM.7 Inc
I
wanted to drop a quick note to all those involved in
making the Epsilon meeting a success. We have all talked
about what a great team of professionals came together
in Naples. Thank you for everything you contributed to
the outcome. From all reports the client was happy and
that is really the bottom line. That being said, for
those of us in the trenches the process is as important
as the end result and the talents and attitude of
everyone involved made the process a pleasure. It was a
privilege to work with you on this gig and I look
forward to working with you again soon.
Thank
you again. Travel safe and be successful.

Mark Maloney, Owner/Producer
-- MJM Film and Video, Inc.
Thanks you for your stellar
service. You never miss a beat. I love the confidence I have
knowing that I do not have to worry about graphics. Also
thanks for your dedication in coming in early to get happy
snaps done and not charging me OT for it. That and
everything else you provide is much appreciated!

Liz Warwick, Owner --

LOVE IT!!! I wish I had found
you years ago.

Nicole Rechter, Owner/Producer
-- Integra Productions
Thanks to
the best team! Please Read below.....
Nicole, please
share with your team our appreciation for the

one of you were extraordinary at your roles,
succeeded in making our meeting a true benefit
to the attendees and most importantly were a
pleasure to work with.
Please make sure
everyone knows how much we enjoyed working with
them and look forward to seeing this same team

Karen Wells,
Owner/Director -- Karen Wells Fitness, The First
Step and The Next Step
Robert - Your work is AMAZING... Your time and
talent are so very appreciated. Everyone "LOVES" the new ad and business cards.
You really understand the essence of what I need so well. It is always scary for
me to try something new. I don't like to take risks. But, with your magic
imagination, you bring ideas to life and I feel very confident. Thank you a
million times over.

Lillie Chen,
Director, Project Management -- MedCases
Hi Robert, Thank you
for all your help in making MedCases ACC program
a success. I really appreciate your
understanding and flexibility in all the last
minute changes. Your professionalism and
assistance really helped make a difference in a
good program to a great program.

Ginger Emas Schlanger -- Author, Back

I
just wanted to let
everyone at Act 3 Productions
know that the talented and wonderful designer/owner of Kaplan Graphics, Robert
Kaplan, The Graphics Guy, donated yet more of his time to the efforts of our
dreams! He did not charge us for creating the linkable VIP invitations (which he
turned around in less than a day for us!) As you know, Robert also helped with
the Act 3 website photo video. If you ever have an opportunity to recommend
Robert for a design job – print, e-marketing, website design, you name it – I
hope you will keep him in mind. I use Robert for my materials as well as those
of many of my clients. He’s fast, creative, technically savvy, and a pleasure to
work with. Robert, thank you so much for your continued support of Act 3
Productions and our graphic needs. Warmly, Ginger

Ted Clow, Director of Production -- Harith

much! Your help always makes a tight deadline
actually attainable. And your clean & crisp designs
always help give off the exact message we want!

Brad Lawley -- firefly
You saved
my bacon -- I was at my wits end and sick as a dog. So I
am definitely looking forward to working with you in the
future. I passed your name along to my team and told
them what a great job you did. I've added your name to
my contacts and rolodex. During our busy spells I'm sure
we could use your help.
Amy
O'Dell, Founder & Executive Director -- Jacob's Ladder
Thank you so much for the very kind and generous
donation of your time and talent. We were so thrilled with the results of
your labor. We were proud to stand beside our display at the Walk for
Autism. Your donation and your commitment to support the work that we do is most
appreciated.

Alfonza Goggins, Owner -- Audio Visual CO-Operative, LLC.
I started this
entry off a little differently, but I wanted to introduce
the new masthead logo for this blog and the new Face Down
The Beast website. The artwork and tag line are the creative
concepts of Robert Kaplan of Kaplan Graphics Inc. Robert
came to my attention last week just when I was lamenting
the need for professional graphics help and not having it
readily available.
He contacted me via LinkedIn, a business/social network, we
traded emails, had a phone conversation and within hours he
had conceptualized what you see above. He was committed,
professional, and perhaps motivated by the knowledge that
his mother has twice survived cancer. Our thanks and
gratitude to Robert for capturing our vision for this
website and blog......

Mark Maloney,
Owner -- MJM
Film and Video, Inc.
Thanks
again for providing your talents, can do attitude,
and friendly spirit to our show. Thanks for
providing
the extra computer, and all your goodies. Also
appreciate you keeping your expenses down!
I consider you a great asset to any production.
Edward L. Rosen, Global Marketing Leader -- Therakos,
Inc.
Just to let you know the
quality of your work is being very well received.
Thanks for everything. You've just secured a new ongoing
client.

Timothy Schneider, Publisher -- SportsTravel Magazine
Organizers of the TEAMS Conference & Expo
Having you on site at our
annual conference for the sports-event industry reduced
our stress levels dramatically and made all of our
educational sessions run more smoothly. I highly
recommend you to everyone for their next meeting or
convention. Mark your calendar for our event next
year!!!

Terrence Wiggins,

On behalf of
the marketing team at SBi - I really want to extend a
HUGE thanks for all of your efforts.

I think
Robert would
be a
valuable
member to
the TEAMS
conference.
He has a
great can do
attitude and
is very
accommodating
with
everyone and
every
request.
Robert’s day
rate is
worth it
because of
his
knowledge,
creativity
and ability
to work at a
high speed
with great
diligence.
His
computers
are kept
up-to-date
and loaded
with all of
the current
software.
Last year we
acquired
computers
from the AV
Company for
about the
same amount.

Robert, First, please know how very grateful I am to
you for all the work you’ve done in support of the
National MS Society. Christine and Ailena speak
highly of you and I hope one day we can take you to
lunch or dinner to repay you in a very small way for
the enormous work you’ve done for us. Thank
you!

APEX Communications
Team
Robert, Thank you so much
for all of your very late hours spent helping the APEX
team. Your sacrifice of sleep was incremental in making
the meeting in France work and succeed! We could not
have done it without you!

Ailena Gibby,

Hey
Robert - I have to say that this invitation is
probably my favorite piece out of anything I've

appreciate you – you are so great to work with and have
been a life saver on so many levels, I can’t even begin
to express my gratitude.
Thank you so very much and may you have safe travels
this weekend!!!

Looks great! Sorry for the hassle!
I’m not sure if we thank you enough for
all of the work you do for us! So, please know that we
really truly appreciate your generosity! I realize we
tend to do things last minute around here – which is why
I’m trying to start doing things extra early. I’m sorry
about that and I’m pushing us to do better. Thanks
again!

Christopher J. Frederick -- Sr. Vice
President, Worldwide Marketing
Awesome first Worldwide Sales Meeting,
you made it special. I’m glad we had the
opportunity to work together again in a
meeting like this. All were impressed
with your capabilities and willingness
to work, Promise Delivered!
Christopher
DeNicola -- Senior VP of Sales, Small Bone
Innovations
Again my compliments to you on the outstanding job you
and your team did at our Worldwide Sales Meeting last weekend. Truly a
professional job. Sorry that we made your job more
difficult by having the “last minute” gang hit you with
the power points so late. I think next time we better
have a much earlier cutoff.

Tammy Leitsinger
-- Director of Medical Education, Medical Affairs
Cordis Endovascular, a Johnson & Johnson Company
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!! As always, you are awesome!

Christine John --

an excellent piece of work, and I appreciate your
concentrated (and creative!) efforts in completing it.
Thanks, guys!

Therese Thilgen --
President / Chief
Content Officer -- Franchise Update
You are so fantastic. You make the whole tech and visual
part of the General Session work and we have total
confidence in you. You do more than just PowerPoint
graphics. I think you need to reflect that in your ads.
I will also connect you with a few advertising agencies
and marketing companies in franchising that might have a
need for your services. You always come through in a
spectacular way. Thank you again...we look forward to
working with you on all of our conferences.
Kimberlie Joyner -- Marketing Director -- Franchise Update

all very much for all your help last week helping us get our

the scenes to make sure the technology worked, and worked
well. It wasn't lost on either of us. Michael Donnelly and
I appreciate all your efforts very much. Thanks again.

OMG!!! Robert, After you created
our Logo for our web site all hell broke loose. Over the weekend we had the Greatest response from people
purchasing on-line. I couldn't imagine that looks were that
important. We have great content on our web site
but.... It needed to be presented in a more professional
manor. The logo your created gave us an edge
over all our competitors. You took what we
started and Gave it Punch and Clarity. Thank You
for the Super Fast Service. Tremendous value and
I Highly recommend to all. Thanks again.

speak..:-)...) Your work looks great!

Ted Brown -- Shell
Lubricants
I would like to
personally thank everyone on the Selling Solutions / Shell
National Sales Meeting team. I sincerely believe that the

future meetings, and the expectations are high. A heartfelt thank you from all of us at Shell Lubricants!

Jamey Erickson -- Wits End Productions

alone your creative. You're the best.

Stefanie Long -- Vice
President -- Manning, Selvage & Lee

looks really good for a first cut for Monday. I like some of
the photo treatments at the end too - once I get feedback on
Monday, we'll proceed with animation and incorporating some
of these. Again, I really appreciate your taking
time out of your weekend and doing such a great job so
quickly. I feel totally comfortable walking in
the door Monday morning with this presentation. I'll be in

Hi Robert, It was great

mode, even just for a moment, I want you around when a fire
breaks out!

Susan DeVito -- AVSG,
ATL
Thanks again for your work and
more importantly your patience with us over the final days. You did a great job for us and I would be happy to be a
future reference upon request.

Brenda Neely --
BellSouth Telecommunications Video, GA
Your clients express exactly
how I feel about you. The only other thing I
would add is that your work is always beautiful and
extremely creative. I'm so glad to have you on
our team too. When the presenters compared your
graphics to their busy diagrams, they became apologetic and
said they would try to do better. Thanks for the
file-saving tip.

Brenda Neely --
BellSouth Telecommunications Video, GA
One thing I forgot to mention –
this morning the client said she always gets MUCH MORE and
MUCH BETTER
than expected the first time she looks at our work - unlike
her experience with other departments. Thanks
for your contributions.

Karen DeTemple --
Ideas with Impact, CA
Hello! Thanks for a great show.
You were right...all I have to do is get you on site for one
show and now I won't
be able to live without you! With any luck, I'll book some
more business and we'll be seeing each other again
soon!

Ted White -- Novartis,
PA
Now that the craziness has been
to a minimum, I wanted to say "thank you" once again for
coming to the rescue with my presentation. You
exceeded my expectations by your strong customer
focus. In addition, I realize that this was well
"above and beyond" by you taking the time over the weekend
to fix my problem. This is truly appreciated and
builds my loyalty to you. Again, many thanks!

Thank you!

Elaine Keller --

Thanks to everyone who helped
make the first of eight Verizon events a great success. In particular, the technical crew set the entire room

from 12noon until

The client was very happy with our performance.

Teresa
Fish -- Aspen Productions
Robert,
Thank you so much for your work, your patience and your
creativity. We enjoyed working with you as
