It is with regret that GVNation reports that Oscar winning sound engineer and composer Frank Serafine has passed away.Serafine, who had been a respected and much in demand creator in Hollywood, worked on various properties during his illustrious career which included the Star Trek and Tron franchises. He was 65 years old.
The Antelope Valley Times reported Serafine’s death on Wednesday. Serafine was struck by a motorist on Palmdale Boulevard in California.The driver was uninjured. So far, it is unclear if the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol and the incident remains under investigation.
Serafine began his career in film in the 1970s where he worked as a sound engineer on 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture and 1984’s Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. In addition, he brought his expertise to Tron in 1982 and Tron:Legacy.
If that wasn’t enough, Serafine also put his skills to work in the creation of video games. His works included the original Grand Theft Auto, which was followed by participation in the TRON video game, Wing Commander, Interstate ‘76, Disney’s Pocahontas video game and the 2004’s The Suffering.

Senior Writer at GeekVibesNation – I am a 60 something child of the 70’s who admits to being a Star Trek/Star Wars/Comic Book junkie who once dove headfirst over a cliff (Ok, it was a small hill) to try to rescue his Fantastic Four comic from a watery grave. I am married to a lovely woman who is as crazy as I am and the proud parent of a 21-year-old young man with autism. My wife and son are my real heroes.
