The 7th Best job in the World! WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Hello dearest Patrons, just letting you know if there are any applicants who fit the job decription who are a patron of ours, YOUR RESUME WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE SHORT LISTED :) We would love nothing more than to bring a new videographer onboard who is also a part of the La Vaga family!! Anyway, here is the job post:
So, we are looking for someone who is a wizard with editing/filming to join us on our voyage around the globe by sail boat! We're really excited to bring a new person on board, in fact, I think I said the word 'excited' over 4 times.
Goodluck! We will review all the applicants and get back to you in the next week or two via email. Elayna & Riley xo
EDIT: Applications are now closed.

Bummer...Have a great summer!!
Has someone been chosen yet?
Hi Micah, yes, we will announce it very soon xo
OMG......my dream job if I wasn't tied to my source of "normal" income by 50+ hours per week......Damn - in a different life I'd have my adventure cams, my Canon DSLR, my drone, and my hand held gizmo driven gimble thingy at your disposal....but...alas - I just have to watch your awesome videos while some other punk without my lack of youth or commitment to a massive mortgage....oh, and lack of creativity or skill - kicks my sorry ass....I think I'll just sit back and enjoy what you have in store for me.....still, great offer, and I did consider selling everything and making a pitch! Lol
Hey there mates! I sent an email, but my camera is currently being borrowed. Do you mind if my "about me" video is just from my iPad?
Really worth a look <a href="https://youtu.be/pcsPOtoSVss" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/pcsPOtoSVss</a>
Came across this guys's application on YouTube - worth checking out, perhaps. Good luck on the quest! <a href="https://youtu.be/pcsPOtoSVss" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/pcsPOtoSVss</a>
Hi, I`ve watching You Tube videos of the applicants for the job. I think, hands down, Molly Goodman and Andrew (? Fink?) MUST be your selections for the job. (100%)
Check out my very rough cut, low res, no mic, 23.9fps, adorable short film of the journey to the Sailing La Vagabonde, "Splash Party" in Montpellier, France. I love these guys... <a href="https://youtu.be/TkoA8UGmICc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/TkoA8UGmICc</a>
What I wouldn't give to have those skills to come work for you two! But if the LaVagabonde family ever gets a baby onboard, I am a Newborn Care Specialist with a Masters degree in Montessori education from birth to age 3. Babies and the deep blue sea, that's my thing!
🙏🤞🤙
Good luck! :)
Just posted ALL over my social media for you from my biz page Get a Life At Sea (onboard employment biz). I also shared the post to the Princess Cruises Photographers & Videographers FB group too :) I would recommend further sharing your post to as many cruise ship crew groups as possible as many cruise ship companies have separate crew FB groups just for their photographers and videog's :) (As Princess Cruises does noted above) These crew have amazing video shooting and editing experience, are well travelled and don't get sea sick lol :) Wish I was a videographer and not a cruise ship employment specialist - otherwise I would be applying myself in a heartbeat
Goood luck finding the One SLV!!
I can do that
So very much wish I could!!...
I am sure it would be nice to take the stress out of taking all those videos, we can see you and Riley enjoying things together. I really like the diving and fishing videos, hopefully you find someone that can scuba dive or snorkel as well as you guys can. That is my favorite part.
I think an employee would kill the vibe just get crew and fill the boat with stories and have everyone pitch in. I for one don't care to see perfection I like to see real moments captured and the adventure. SV Delos had 7 people at one point and they all helped record and edit the videos and I thought those were good. You guys could do the same one week Elay another Riley, then crew 1, crew 2...3 4 repeat. And you can use any program and any camera the most important thing is to capture the story and tell it. If a phone is all you have to record it is better than the dslr you left on board... Just my two cents.
I'm probably not very qualified right now... but if you can fit that many people might as well throw me on board right haha
Life will certainly get a lot easier once you have the support crew in place. Good luck to you guys.
Wow what an amazing opportunity! Had me dreaming of quitting my desk job and joining the crew until the sad reality of my extreme motion sickness hit 😭😭
What an amazing opportunity. If I was in that stage of my life, I would jump on that.
I just e-mailed you guys! I feel like you're gonna be overwhelmed with applicants - what an opportunity! I would love to connect when you have a chance!
What are the 6 jobs better than this?! 😉 Good luck and enjoy the crew hunt!!
I have the perfect person to recommend (they just did a single had hike of pikes peak last night) Very motivating and just took a sailing class with me last summer. His twin brother has a few very successful apps (skritter I believe) and his father makes supercomputer chips so working with computers is in the family but he doesn't have video experience. He is the type of guy who does everything the best so I know he could pick it up quickly. What percentage is weighed on the video editing skills or do you think you can teach that?
