Wow. Just Wow.
Not only are you asking for highly skilled people to provide their own equipment, you the go on to further insult them by saying tha tthey are not working for PAY, but for TIPS, and that if you like them you will TIP THEM MORE.
You sir, are an Asshole, and I've seen alot of asshole posts on these boards.
Let me expand on why you are insulting your potential employees:
People that work for tips are happy and cheery because they want the extra money.
In essence, they are forcing smiles and kindness to people that abuse and take advantage of them, because they JUST MIGHT give them more money.
In other words, you are implicitly stating that you are gonna be a bunch of dicks, and that if the professional you are "hiring" wants more money, they have to suck it up ad put up with your shit.
To sweeten the deal, you state that this is "a $50 tip for doing what you love and getting more experience."
YOU ARE ONLY HIRING PEOPLE WITH EXPERIENCE. Getting more experience off of your crappy project is not going to happen. The people you are getting are professionals, showing up to work, they are not coming "for the experience". Also, people love to work in this business because they love getting paid for what the love doing.
But you are not paying them, you are tipping them.
Once again, the professional that works for you is getting the shaft, and you are more than happy to give it to them.
Grow up, get some real money, and pay them what they are worth. Better yet, learn how to do what you are asking, and then try doing it, and see how you like it when somebody offers you a $50 tip for a $250 job.
ASSHOLE.

Low budget live music video shoot seeks sound and camera people (Torrance)
Date: 2008-08-24, 12:54AM PDT
Need reliable person/people for LOW BUDGET indie shoot.
1) to mix FOH/monitors for a small private live music video shoot this Labor Day (Mon Sept 1st noon - 6pm) in Torrance. Experience reqd. $50 "tip" for the right person.
2) camera person for hand held/tripod camera work using small HDV camera(s). Should have experience shooting live music. $50 "tip" for the right person.
This is a live video shoot of my acoustic trio taped in fairly large a/v studio with an audience, but focusing on video/recording. Good experience/Good people. No drama or partying here, just good clean fun recording a fast down and dirty DVD/CD set live in front of some friends. The trio is two guitars with vocals and a cajon player.
Also will consider paying more to the right people. We will be shooting and recording many projects in the future.
* Location: Torrance
* Compensation: Some Pay, but more like a $50 tip for doing what you love and getting more experience.
