This is a 7 or 8 minute music video based on part of the silent movie "The Lost World." with music by Keamia. This first part is where Malone joins the expedition.
The 1925 film "The Lost World" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_World_(1925_film)) Is based on the 1912 novel of the same name, written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Both the film and novel are now in the public domain. The book is the first of three "Challenger story" scifi novels written by Doyle featuring Professor Challenger (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_Challenger). The film featured pioneering stop motion special effects by Willis O'Brien.
Plot:
Edward Malone is at his newspaper's office pleading for more significant "dangerous" assignments. He stumbles on an assignment to write an article on Professor Challenger's lecture, barred from reporters, where the Prof claims he has seems dinosaurs in a "lost world". After meeting with Prof Challenger, Malone also meets Paula White, a young lady whose father died in Prof Challenger's previous
expedition. In spite of the fact that Malone is engaged, eventually, they do fall in love. Once on the expedition, their lived are threatened in many situations. In particular, the encounter a Stegosausus (my personal favorite of all the dinosaurs:-) and a deadly Allosaurus. However, they survive and manage to trap a Brontosausus, and return it live to with them to civilization. The film ends as the dinosaur terrorizes London but vindicates Professor Challenger.
