Jost Vacano shot primarily on a handheld 35mm camera that he co-designed with ARRI. Their creation was slimmer than a Steadicam and outfitted with gyroscopes for stability, which also made on-set sound recording impossible. Because remote follow-focus hadn't been invented yet and having a focus puller run alongside the DP in such close quarters was out of the question, the corridor tracking shot initially stumped Vacano. The DP describes his solution in his 2011 acceptance speech to the Society of Camera Operators: "I realized after three/four weeks of shooting inside of that submarine that I got physically so used to the surroundings I could almost close my eyes and run through the ship because my body would know where to go. And that was finally the solution for this shot I just grabbed the camera and started running." Get the camera and run. What? Like it's hard? "And try to survive," Vacano adds, helpfully.
