How Filmmaker Vikram Rana Recovered a Formatted Sony FX3 CF Card | Stellar Data Recovery Delhi
Filmmaker Vikram Rana was in the middle of a fashion shoot, with close to 20 crew members on set and a client budget of nearly ₹10 lakh, when the camera's CF card was accidentally formatted before the footage could be backed up. A significant portion of the shoot appeared to be lost within seconds.
What followed was a night without sleep and the concern that seven years of work in the fashion film industry could not undo a single mistake. A friend recommended the Delhi branch of Stellar Data Recovery. Vikram visited the following morning, uncertain of the outcome. By the afternoon of the same day, all files had been recovered.
This video captures the experience, the visit to Stellar Data Recovery Delhi, and the moment the data was retrieved successfully.
