Red Hat – Command Line Heroes Trailers
Red Hat’s award-winning podcast is about the people who create revolutionary products that touch all of our lives. When Red Hat approached us about creating a promo for the latest season, we knew we had to come correct.
Season 6, “Meet The Inventors,” features the stories of Black inventors who didn’t get the credit they deserve. For example, did you know Dr. Gladys West’s contributions to satellite geodesy models contributed to developing the Global Positioning System (GPS)?
So far, we’ve created a promo for season six and season seven.
See below for full vids and details.

Season Six — Meet The Inventors
Behind the Scenes + Explorations
We did countless hours of research and exploration for this project, starting with finding images of our heroes and their inventions. Every detail is authentic and accurate, from the shape and branding of Jerry’s video game cartridges to how Dr. Gladys West looked in front of her supercomputer.
Check out some early ideas of how Carlos envisioned Jerry riding a T-Rex!
They got killed, but it’s all part of the process, right?
