It's obvious you don't know what you are doing hence your project will be a total waste of time anyway.
Learn the terminology first - a Director of Photography is the visual master, the expert in lighting who controls what your film looks like. A DP doesn't have to operate the camera, only if he/she wants to - when not, that becomes a job for a separate camera operator person.
So a credible offer from you (besides higher pay) would give the DP title to the one who will set the lighting, regardless of who physically handles the camera. You can't take the DP title for yourself since by your own admission you know nothing about lights (except maybe how to turn them on). No self respecting real DP would or should accept your demeaning request.
Sheesh - these galling craigslist requests are hilarious, keep 'em coming!!!

I'm a Director who also plans on DP'ing a webisode comedy pilot for a major online youth portal.
I'm a capable camera operator, but am relatively inexperienced with both generating lighting plans, and setting up lights, and am looking for an Assistant DP to help with those tasks.
Credit and potential future employment pending a series order from the youth portal.
Please send a resume and reel, if available.
Thank you.
