I do see now that this process is more complex.
I would like to come to a practical conclusion in order to proceed. I
live in the US. I make hand painted films which look good in the
silent speed realm ( say 12fps to 18fps). My process is to have a
lab do the telecine, and then I use Final Cut Pro and eventually
author to DVD
I wish to end up with something as close to the projected film
experience as possible. What is the best "speed" at which to make
the initial telecine? Is there any advantage to slowing the speed
at the telecine stage, or is this best done in FCP?
Am I correct in thinking that transferring at 30fps at telecine, then
slowing to 15fps in FCP has some merits? If not, what are some
better suggestions as to these numbers?
Thanks.

This style of working is based partly on my no longer owning my own
optical printer and to come up with a relatively economical approach
overall.
