Bilingual Japan Based Location Sound Mixer, Christian Storms. Clean, consistent, intelligible audio for films, CMs, TV, docos and sports. CHRISTIAN STORMS...SEASONED PRODUCER TURNED SOUND RECORDIST…AND LOVING IT! Working in Japan for 29 years, I came to location sound via a 17 year career as a producer. I honed my sound mixing skills over the past ten years often working as a sound mixer. As a producer for Local 81 with over 90 projects for TV (Top Gear, The Amazing Race), film, commercials (Nike, Apple, Sapporo Beer), and sports, lately I LOVE JUST BEING A SOUND RECORDIST. I know the heartache of production. To me, everything “sounds good” to this soundman. Fully Bilingual. I can read and write Japanese. I’ve subtitled over 70 feature films and have been an on-set interpreter for many feature films mostly for director Miike Takashi. IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1218835/ Equipped to handle multi-camera wireless. Offering a full LED light kit and 5 seater SUV Mitsubishi Pajero with big trunk, AC power and luggage rack for more gear. I love working in extreme environments: snow, mountain tops, race car tracks. When I am not recording sound, I work as a rock climbing guide and ski guide. I also enjoy golf and painting Jackson Pollack style works. As a radio talent, I write, host, record and edit Working Title, a monthly radio show for FM Karuizawa about film soundtracks.

As a voice actor director for games like MetalWolf Chaos and Bravo Music 3 and 40 dubbed commercials, as well as the dubbed Japanese version of South Park for three seasons, I cut my sound recording and mixing teeth. As a dialogue coach on 8 features films (THOR, SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO), I acquired skills from working with the sound department recording on location as well as ADR in the studio.
