About this site

Hi!

My name is Jim Kleckner and I make things on the internet. I'm a comedy writer and new media producer. If you like to vomit you can see my LinkedIn profile. If you think I may be able to help you with a project, please contact me.

My latest projects (updated 06/13/13):

Currently shooting videos for HelloGiggles.com at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.

Traveling. Lots and lots of traveling.

FAT KID NINJA iPhone Game - Fat Kid Ninja is about an adorable little chubby kid who goes to war against an army vegetables. I helped create the character, wrote/voiced the cut scenes, and led the creative team in bringing the game from idea to the App Store. PLAY IT IZ FUN.
Writer/Producer at ACTV8.me - ACTV8.me is a second-screen platform that's making TV more interactive and fun. Partners include FOX Broadcasting Company (New Girl, SYTYCD and MasterChef), Mark Burnett (The Celebrity Apprentice) and Oxygen Media (The Glee Project).
For much of my professional career I was the Head Writer at LiquidGeneration.com. We made original, pop culture-inspired animations, web shows and games for people who like to laugh. Our work has been talked about or featured in Entertainment Weekly, US Weekly, CNN, Howard Stern, Maxim Magazine, Gawker, Star Magazine, Best Week Ever, G4TV, and the Chicago Sun-Times.
I'm also a founder of LiquidGeneration's creative services arm, Brand Blaze, where we made branded entertainment for Fortune 500 companies. As Head Writer, my team and I were responsible for creating campaigns, games and web shows for the US Army, Microsoft (Xbox 360), Paramount Studios, Miramax, Sony (Playstation) and Unilver (Axe Deodorant). We worked with FOX DIGITAL on a 20-episode run of the animated recap series "For Your Eyes Only" for the final season of 24. We've also produced a 10-episode recap series of the latest season of So You Think You Can Dance.

In addition to the above I enjoy photography and making picture-based stop-motion music videos. Step over to my Vimeo page to see some of this work. I'm very proud of it.

I live in Downtown Los Angeles, but home is always going to be Chicago.

Yosemite - May 2011 (by Slippy Jenkins)

Trip Report - May 12

Checked into Curry Village and got my tent cabin. Headed over to Yosemite Village to pick up my Wilderness Permit for backpacking. I booked two options for lodging because I am thoroughly scatterbrained and absolutely refuse to set a plan that I’ll eventually throw away anyway once I put on my shoes the next day.

Headed over to Mirror Lake on my bike and had trouble adjusting the settings on my camera.
