Since
its founding in 1993, Lost Boys has grown into a highly professional company
that follows not only their dreams, but also, the dreams of others. Lost Boys
has combined top talent and a passion for creating with hands on experience
which can only be gained through hard work, failure, tears, laughter, teamwork
and success. Fusing imagination with technology has made Lost Boys a leader
in customised multimedia. Lost Boys is made up of several teams, which continually
work together, sharing the knowledge and experience, which will take multimedia
into the future: Lost Boys interactive media, Lost Boys strategy, Lost Boys
content & usability, Lost Boys tv & streaming media, Lost Boys formats,
Lost Boys medialab, Lost Boys games and Lost Boys incubator. The turnover of
the LostBoys group in 2000 was approximately 25 million EURO.
Lost Boys Interactive
The mission of Lost Boys interactive media is to conceive, design and program
unique and compelling interactive media experiences. They focus on single
and multi-channel solutions for the media and entertainment, infotainment
and consumer goods industries. Their applications are technologically advanced,
but always easy to understand and end user-oriented. Lost Boys interactive
media is divided into three multi-disciplinary teams. One team focuses on
the production of high-end rich media applications for desktop and handheld
devices via CD, broadband and wireless distribution. Another team specialises
in websites and online interactive media applications with a strong emphasis
on user interfacing, branding and streaming media. The third team focuses
on infotainment website systems which require extensive information design,
multi-tier architectures, and back end integration.
