Hi guys,

Practiced for some weeks then now started: I am shooting a feature movie with 5D3, 3 months shoot, over 100 actors, etc.
Today I shot difficult scenes with a full team, and 15 actors, a total of 120gb of RAW files on a Komputerbay CF card. I checked and all was there.
Then, on my nacbook, the card froze, couldnt be expelled. I forced expelled it.
It would then only mount with strange characters (EOS^DIGIT@L), and ...everything inside gone.
Disk utility shows the disk is empty.
I tried a quick scan on a data recovery and showed nothing.
This was our first days shoot, and it would be a double nightmare if we could not get all the files back.
Has anyone known of this happening? And, obviously, can anyone suggest what could be done?
(many CF card recovery softwares, but they all seem to only salvage pictures or videos, not massive RAW files).
Many thanks,

Ivan
