American Cinematographer contributor Iain Marcks talks with cinematographer Jost Vacano, ASC, BVK about his work on the brutal sci-fi satire RoboCop (1987), directed by Paul Verhoeven.
The cinematographer breaks down his visual approach, his careful use of the subjective camera, the withholding of a full shot of the RoboCop character until late in the film, and his use of a custom-built handheld camera rig.
The cinematographer went on to shoot the sci-fi adventure films Total Recall, Starship Troopers and Hollow Man for Verhoeven, as well as the provocative drama Showgirls.
