Who are you, Pedro? How did you get started with Star Citizen?

TL;DRA lifelong Wing Commander fan who played with his father, he contacted Chris Roberts, showed his work, did a demo with a live orchestra, and composed the first commercial, which he still loves.

Pedro Macedo CamachoComposer, Star Citizen

So, as I was saying, I was a huge Wing Commander fan. How did I get started in Star Citizen? I was a huge Wing Commander fan, and I used to play with my father, actually, before my father passed away. It was a long time ago. And he also loved the project. So when I saw this project being announced, I immediately knew I had to find a way to contact Chris Roberts. I literally showed him some of my work. And I did a demo and it started from there. And I got a nice proposal to make, as if it was a second stage demo, where I had to compose a bunch of stuff and also use a live orchestra at the time. Then we used it a couple of times later as well. But at the time I had to use a live orchestra to see how it would sound with the real thing. And I think it went well. Probably, otherwise I wouldn't be here.

And it's curious, but before that test, as I was talking about some minutes ago with Jared, my son is turning seven in June. And I was composing the first commercial we did on Star Citizen, which was the 300i. The commercial came out days later or something. I mean, it was basically the same time as the 300i came out. Literally, I was composing it while my wife was almost about to go to hospital. So I finished it before that, thankfully. And it was a special commercial. I still love it. Some people sometimes ask me which ship I love the most. And I have to say it's the 300i. Because of that, it reminds me of my son, which is like a treasure for me.
