Support Behind The Scenes At LDI
LIVEDESIGN: "There are two great ways to support Behind the Scenes at LDI this year. Behind the Scenes provides financial support to entertainment technology professionals who are seriously ill or injured. An initiative of The ESTA Foundation, Behind the Scenes raises money from those in the industry so together, we can take care of our own. In its first year, Behind the Scenes has already helped industry members in crisis pay for physical therapy, a motorized wheelchair, insurance, rent, utilities, and food."

It is nice to know that in an industry where we push ourselves so hard, and often can get hurt doing so, that people care. I think it's great the ESTA created this charity to benefit injured professionals. It shows what a great industry this is to be in.

The entertainment industry has many of these types of organizations that really end up making a significant difference. The professional workplace is so fast-paced that its often easy to forget what scale of equipment we are working with. Given the time constraints we often work within, its amazing that there aren't more accidents. With that in mind, its nice to know that there are organizations like this to back up the people who make it all happen when accidents happen.
