What frame rate that you shoot that in? Did you slow it down in FCP? It looks really good. I seem to be having a problem with get good looking slow motion right now.

Thank you. Like I said it looks outstanding. I think I first shot in 1080 30p. And try slow motion, looked like crap. Have you played it back on a regular tv yet. Thats when I discoverd my slow motion was plagued with ghosting.

If you shoot 30p you are going to get 80% playback rate on a 24p time line without extra post interpolation. Not very slow at all. You need to use 60p for slow slowmotion.
