The single mic theory is a good one if you can pull it off. Obviously, from the video clips, some people can. You seem to be able to do that with the AT, so this bodes well for you.
I say it's a good place to start. Maybe choose a mic that you wouldn't mind having two of with the thought that you might move up to a stereo pair.
BTW, on the topic of vertical alignment of mics; the reason vertical alignment is used to to reduce or eliminate phase cancellation. Normally, with two mics vertically aligned, the sound arrives at both of them at the same time.
