Vacano is one of two cameramen employed by Verhoeven throughout his feature-film career in both Holland and America the other being cinematographer/ director Jan DeBont, ASC.
With DeBont concentrating on his directorial career, Vacano may find himself shooting even more of Verhoeven's films, although the cinematographer says that he has found their existing arrangement to be quite satisfying.
The crew built roads which navigated to the bottom of the crevices so that the art department could erect the humans' command center; equipment not transportable by four-wheel-drive vehicles had to be lowered into the pit by helicopter.

Likewise, the filmmakers sought a much more eye-popping treatment of scenes that occur after Caine has been rendered invisible; during the course of the film, his presence is partially revealed when he enters a smoky room, walks through a sprinkler system and dives into in a pool.
Verhoeven has a penchant for pushing the effects industry to support his fertile narrative imagination, and all of the film’s participants were eager to tackle the tale’s ambitious and groundbreaking visuals.
Vacano joined the production fairly early in the prep phase and focused primarily on the technical requirements involved in lighting the many sets that would be constructed for the film.

 Jost Vacano
The life in a film comes from the scriptwriter, the director, the cinematographer, the art department and the actors." Jost Vacano, BVK, ASC.

One thing that Vacano handles well is special effects...

Though the set, which measured 250' long by 150' wide (76x46m), is underground, Vacano says it has an interior (the lab) and an exterior (the disused generators, air compressors, and the "rotten concrete stuff" of the test site).
In preproduction, Vacano consulted with Cameron and the art department to develop custom-made Kino Flo fixtures that could be placed overhead and not conflict with the style of the set design.
Anderson and Vacano, who manned Arriflex cameras for the shoot, decided to simplify the massive matting requirements by using Kodak's SFX 200T stock, a special 200ASA, throughout.

 Movie Info for Das Boot on MSN Movies
Prochnow is excellent as the nerves-of-steel commander, and many of the supporting actors -- all German -- are solid as well, although the characterizations border on war movie clichés (the young crewman who has left behind his pregnant girlfriend, the Chief Engineer whose wife is seriously ill).
The real star, however, is cinematographer Jost Vacano, who makes the sub's grimy, claustrophobic interior come to vivid life, as his camera follows the crew through hatches, up ladders, into bunks, and under pipes, creating a palpable sense of claustrophobia while injecting it with movement.
Originally edited by writer/director Wolfgang Petersen as both a two-and-a-half hour theatrical release and a six-hour German miniseries, Das Boot was re-released in a restored version in 1997 with nearly one hour of added footage which made it even more suspenseful than before.

 Das Boot
It makes for an interesting filming challenge, manipulating a camera in such a minimal space.
Petersen's director of photography, Jost Vacano, developed a new technique, simply holding the camera in front of him as he races down the metal corridors of the set.
