Scott's advice is very good. Do not do anything. When you delete a file on a disk, you are only deleting items in the table that tell the drive where to find the file. The underlying data is untouched, until it is written over. I would recommend looking up undelete programs. If you have a mac, your filesystem is hfs+, pc is ntfs, and linux is variable often efs, and others. One thing you can do is a block copy of the disk. On mac there is Carbon Copy Cloner, which can make a disk image. On mac and linux, there is a command line tool called dd.

But Scott is right, check with the digitizers first. You might want to call a repair shop and see if they can do a recovery cheap, depending on how well you are with computers.

Last thing, don't ever that again!

Best of luck!

First, take the drive offline and don't do anything else with it.

Secondly, call the telecine guys and see if they have a copy still left
on their system.

Thirdly, there are some tools for extracting undeleted files.  PC or mac,
and what kind of filesystem?
