I have just bought a gl-1 too, and was thinking about dubbing the movie afterwards, using the gl-1 mic .. then doing a low pass filter for softening the voices and syncing everything... It's definitely too noisy in the background to get professional results out of the tape the first time. When we dub we'll just sit around the PC and in turn try to match what the character says...
