What type of microphone for an indoor2 person interview? Can I use The Rode VideoMic

[miss]

I have an indoor 2 person interview to film.

I have a Rode videomic. I want to get an h4n to feed the sound into. And place it on a light stand in the middle of them both. The microphone will be out of the shot. About 12 inches a way. Will this give good sound. I only have one shot to get this right.

I don't have a boom person to hold a microphone. It's just me.

I've researched this question and the answer seems to be have the boom person move the mic between the both. Dream World.

Also there is a Q & A from the audio members to the interviewees.

How do I handle that? I'm using the h4n so do I plug in another microphone. I'm willing to buy another $200 mic for this purpose.

Thank you all in advance.

can you lock off the camera and work the boom yourself?
can you not rent a pair of lavs? that'd probably be about $50 or so...

worst case scenario just split the difference with the rode on a stand. i dont think the video mic is TOO directional...
