Frank Serafine: SFX Master
Rides the Next Wave
Frank Serafine holds a unique place in the sound effects
library industry as one of the first major sound designers to lend his
name to commercial SFX discs. Previously, most collections were either
released uncredited or with a simple designation of a film studio, when
applicable.
Serafine managed to parlay a brilliant career creating SFX (primarily
using electronic keyboards such as Moogs, Yamaha CS-80s, and Prophet 5s)
for early '80s films such as Star Trek, The Fog, and Tron
into a highly successful business enterprise.
Serafine first
partnered with Sound
Ideas on its wide-ranging 6000 Series (which also included
contributions by Hollywood sound designer Alan Howarth) and later
started his own eponymous library company, which has put out scores of
discs covering everything from his top-selling Platinum Sounds for
the 21st Century to Sci-Fi (natch), Comic Sonic Relief,
Guns of Cinema, and SFX: The General Series.
Serafine continues to be an in-demand effects creator, sound
supervisor/designer, and composer for feature films, games, television,
commercials, and even location-based rides and exhibits. But he
acknowledges that libraries have become a lucrative part of his
business.

Inside Info
DeWolfe: Library Music Heard
Around the World
Recently we chatted with the chief engineer of DeWolfe Music's New
York operation, Jerry LaRosa, to find out more about DeWolfe and its
American arm.
"I've been here for 23 years," he says. "I came in as a music editor
when Moviolas were still in vogue and we took stock music from the
DeWolfe library and cut it to picture so that it looked like it had been
scored. It was a skill that was taught to me by John Lettis, who's still
here, and Moe Goldstein, who is one of the well-known editors in the
business. That has become a dying art."
A 1975 graduate of the
Berklee College of Music, LaRosa was a trained musician and a skilled
engineer who gravitated towards work behind the glass and found a good
home at DeWolfe's studio, recording voiceovers, editing library music
for various kinds of productions, and working on everything from
commercials to books on tape. Along the way, he's won Peabody awards, a
Clio, a Silver Lion from the Cannes Film Festival, and, most recently,
an Audie Award for his work on a book on tape called The Nazi
Officer's Wife.
