Norm, If you have good sound it will carry you through the iffy video. Try and get to the room and check out the sound. If you have a even a still picture of someone you can have them talking and most of your viewers will be perfectly happy, but if you have a great picture and sound where the room reverb gets to your mike before the lip synch sound, they will be peeved at least. Consider taking a lot of digital pics, if you can, to help break up the video. It works for the big guys, why not you. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
