Chad Temples
That’s me. I’m him.
Once, I was driving home late at night on the back roads of rural Georgia, when out of nowhere a large black helicopter landed in the middle of a soybean field. A shadowy figure wearing nothing but a raccoon skin cap exited the aircraft and skipped like a schoolboy into the oak trees. I often wonder where he is now. Anyhoo!
I have a real soft spot for pristinely dumb ideas and fried soft-shell crabs. When I’m not working and also when I am, I spend my time raising three kids and tending to a growing collection of decrepit film cameras.
Wanna work together, or discuss the sublime perfection of the REM record Automatic for the People? Beep me.
Some things I’ve enjoyed lately:
︎Welcome to Pine Point
︎B*tch I’m Lugubrious
︎Judith Joy Ross
︎Blowback
︎Steven Segal SNL Supercut

Bean Song
Beans make you fart. A fact every kid learns via song: “Bean, beans, the musical fruit....” As That Beautiful Bean Co., we needed to eliminate this musical stain on the bean’s good name, with a bigger, better, more accurate song, written and performed by the angel-voiced Josh Groban. Honestly, it’s still mostly about 💨 .

Choose Go
In a world full of things to see, do, eat, touch, hold, smooch, lick, jump off, dance with, and capture with a small snare, why would you choose to stay when you could choose go? That’s the question posited by this kinda batshit campaign.

A Moving Portrait of Pullman
To celebrate decades of collaboration and entrepreneurship between U.S. Bank and the neighborhood of Pullman on Chicago’s Southside, we linked up with Director and Southside Native Rodney Lucas to create a moving portrait of the community, using actors, non-actors, and crew from the neighborhood itself.
I also photographed the production, which you can see here.

That Beautiful Bean Co.
A few months before the pandemic hit, we pitched and won the Bush’s Beans account, with a new brand platform inspired by the iconic catchphrase, “Roll that beautiful bean footage.” This is just a small sampling of the fun, stupid, wholesome, fresh bean things we’ve cooked up for the iconic bean brand.

Lofi Glug Glug Mix
Inspired by the popular YouTube mix “beats to relax/study to”, we created our own version, but for driving. 47 minutes of original ambient music made from road noise, car horns, and jangling keys, with a looping animation in homage to the OG.
