”Working together with Nick on the NIVEA Shoot for the "Time Range" Shower Range was an extraordinary enjoyable and satisfying experience.
Bernd Bender-Asbeck - Executive Creative DirectorDRAFT FCB Hamburg
I was totally excited about Nick's professional skills as a director. His effort, enthusiasm and creativity started already with first pre-production conversations we had, lasting until the last tiny bit of postproduction.
The shoot itself was quite an experience, shooting fascinating special effects of water and ingredients, but also capturing very emotional, intimate moments of our talent under the shower.
Nick managed to bring the best out of the script, the talent and the crew – to me it was a pleasure working with him.
Based on 20 years of experience in the industry now, I can highly recommend Nick Vecchi as an outstanding director – and as a great, reliable and engaging partner for every creative or client to work with.
