I think thats the best way to do it. I don't know of any other way. Or you can fork out a few grand on a highframe rate camera. ;D

Or you can just have your actors do things real slow.

Shooting at 30P adds a subtle slow motion effect. Have your actors move at a slightly slower pace. Then when played back at 24P, it will look like much slower motion than it actually is.

Re: DVX Slow Motion?
Here's another thing I just thought of. I will try this myself when I get my editing studio all set up. Here is a way to cheat your footage to 50% speed. This is the most time consuming way, but I've heard it can be quite effective. Double print each frame. By this I mean edit on a frame by frame timeline(I don't know if you can on final cut). Copy each frame one by one, and paste it directly next to the copied frame. So, in other words, there would be 2 copies of every frame you shot, making the footage 48 frames a second. Try this and let me know what happens.

That's a good idea, but that effect is already incorporated into most modern NLE's. All you have to do is set the footage to play at 50% and make sure that all resampling is turned off. This will in effect give you double frames playing at half speed. The effect is "ok", but it is not smooth. The best that I have experienced is 30p slowed to 24p. IT is not super slow, but it looks fantastic. Second, I would say that 60i to 24p (no resampling) looks good as well, but you need a good deinterlacer to get the best results.
