I have been told that horses are one of the most difficult things to animate, so the fact that this is so seamless is fantastic. Although (as a brit) I've learned to expect no less from the Yarnhub team! Also I found the rendition of Land of Hope and Glory very moving; great job telling this tragic tale.

I love the quote from “Charge of the Light Brigade”, which we just covered in English History, being a biblical reference to show the massiveness of the situation.

It blows my mind at the rate of videos you've been making of late, the quality and storytelling have been and still are spectacular

Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. “Forward, the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns!” he said. Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. “Forward, the Light Brigade!” Was there a man dismayed? Not though the soldier knew Someone had blundered. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die. Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of hell Rode the six hundred. Flashed all their sabres bare, Flashed as they turned in air Sabring the gunners there, Charging an army, while All the world wondered. Plunged in the battery-smoke Right through the line they broke; Cossack and Russian Reeled from the sabre stroke Shattered and sundered. Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell. They that had fought so well Came through the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred. When can their glory fade? O the wild charge they made! All the world wondered. Honour the charge they made! Honour the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred!

This video pays incredible tribute to the only poem that actually brings tears to my eyes.

🎶 “You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through!” “So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand, there's no turning back The bugle sounds, the charge begins But on this battlefield, no one wins!” “The smell of acrid smoke and horses' breath As I plunge on into certain death The horse, he sweats with fear, we break to run” “The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall!”🎶 -the trooper.

In every account I have seen or read I've never read about the French Initiative. That seems like a huge miss and shame on those accounts that leave it out. Well done to those French Cavalry units that helped.

“I will walk through the shadow of The Valley of death; I will fear no evil, for I am the reaper and The Valley is mine.”

The narrator's voice is so calming and i love it so much when he says the date the story is happening. My favourite part of the video.

The Iron Maiden song "The Trooper" is about this, great song

From what I remember reading, Cpt. Nolan was something of a toxic personality and had some contempt for the cavalry as they had not participated much in previous battles due to the fixed nature of the battles. When the order to capture the guns was communicated Lucan asked "Guns? What guns?" and Nolan responded by waving at the guns at the end of the valley and saying 'There, sir, are your guns." The battle of Balaklava would have faded into obscurity if it weren't for Tennyson's poem and Roger Fenton's photography. The Crimean War saw the first use of battlefield photography and it was also the first to use the telegraph to pass on the results of battles to the public within days. The public back home became enthralled by this battle from the poem and when they heard about the soldiers' primitive living conditions with the onset of winter approaching, they contributed knitted scarfs, socks and full face coverings that became known as balaclavas. Excellent video work by the way! My only criticism is that when firing from a distance the guns were firing solid shot and the shell bursts were timed to go off before they hit the ground. If you're interested in Roger Fenton's photography I made a video called Balaklava that you can find on my channel.

Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Flash'd all their sabres bare This was a Poem we read When we were in School. Great Video by the Way.

The bugle sounds, the charge begins But on this battlefield, no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horse's breath As I plunge on into certain death….. oooooooooooooooooooo

Do not buy from Established Titles, there is no law that says you will be a Lord simply by owning land in Scotland. Established Titles is a scam, if planting a tree to prevent deforestation is interesting to you don't do it through Established Titles. There are places that you can do it for less money and get more trees planted.

"Happy Birthday Eddie" What a goddamn powerful finale to this episode...

My Dad is 84 years young and The Charge of the Light Brigade by Tennyson is his favourite boyhood poem. Not a single day passes without his reciting that poem at least once. All the same, he doesn't know the story behind the making of this poem. Thanks for creating this superb animation. Today, I'll get to show him the story behind the poem.

Crazy to think that despite it being touted as a military disaster the light brigade still achieved it's objectives.

‘Honour the Light Brigade, Noble Six hundred!’

1. the facial expressions are getting better and better. I loved the asymmetrical smile from the Ad. 2. The horses animation were flawless! 3. THE RHYMES, you got me there, like... 1000% amazing 4. The grass animation i some parts were very well done 5.The slow motion when firing cannons and muskets; man that was astonishing.

I love how you added in narration from the poem for which this video is titled. For those unaware the song "The Trooper", by Iron Maiden is about the events of this engagement.

The Edison cylinder recording of the trumpet player was a really cool extra touch to this video. Puts it into perspective that this war was fought relatively recently in the span of history

The story of the British Light Brigade has always fascinated me. Thank you as usual for the awesome content

May these men rest, fought even though they knew they were going to die, I wished I was brave as these men

I've actually heard about "the charge" since I was a kid (and I'm not British, not even from a English speaking country) but I've never paid it any attention, never looked it up or read about it. Now I know, and from yet another Yarnhub masterpiece! =)

Every video is better than the last! Keep up the great work that is being one of the greatest history channels on RU-vid! Who knew editing an comment would remove the heart. Hopefully it will be returned soon.

I remember listening to the poem about this charge in Star Trek Deep Space Nine. One of the few poems that stuck in my mind. Interesting to see the actual event told like this.

The special effects and the slow-motion parts are getting better and better, keep up the work! Thanks

Another awesome poetic lyrics starts with this: "You'll take my life but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand, there's no turning back"

*_The Charge of the Light Brigade_* by Lord Alfred Tennyson Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. "Forward, the Light Brigade!

The charge of the light brigade, a truly sad moment in history that simply happened because someone wanted honour and glory.

To hear the recording of someone who fought in the Crimea war almost 200 years ago is crazy to think about, at least to me it is. Really great video and as always they keep getting better

Amazing Video! Thank you for referencing the poem with the historical account. It literally gave me goosebumps hearing the poem while seeing the charge unfold. Brave men. Forever legends. The Charge of the Light Brigade. 👍

Such fantastic 3D models, textures and animations. You guys will soon have monopoly of quality history content.

can we all just appreciate how good these videos are looking!!

Guys, really... the quality of your work never ceases to amaze me Keep it up!

Why is no one talking about how detailed that slow mo musket shot was? They even added the sparks

Gotta love the expressions on the characters, really shows the effort put into the animations.

I love how funny the sponsors animations are I love

the slow-mo clips are so facinating, i see how yarnhub had come a long way on motion editing and the cgi and the result is such a big masterpiece,keep up the good work yarnhub.

Absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! I love how Yarnhub puts history in the context of how it occurred. Keep up the fantastic videos.

You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand, there's no turning back

The Poem At School... goosebumps and tears...Half a league...Half a league❤

I really appreciate you moving into older less known events like this ❤️ love the content as always

Hands down one of THE best channels on RU-vid at the moment ! Amazing animation and even better story telling !

Thanks for the video! I've heard about this story before but seeing it in action is totally brutal!

I had been watching Admiral (2008) before I switched to this. That film too has multiple mentions of Sevastopol

The poem makes me tear up everytime i read it.... Thanks for this spectacular narration of a forgotten piece of history

At least that French officer who ordered his cavalry into action was able to provide some help

is it just me or are these horses and cannons so wonderfully and smoothly animated?

When ever you post it makes me smile I love you videos

These animations are just getting better and better!Keep on good work!

How much time do you take to Animate these 3d Videos? Because we took almost 2 week to get 1 Animation Video out with 2 of us working, and that too we have simplified our Animation a lot. Modeling and Rigging took almost 5 days for us . Grateful if you let us know because we started this channel from your Inspiration. Peace.

It's nuts how you keep noticeably improving with every single video you put out

8:02 gives me T-34 vibes, such a cool slow-mo shot!

Watching these videos always gives me goose bumps. Keep up the amazing work Yarnhub crew

I love this story. There was even a poem written about it. It was called "Charge Of The Light Brigade"

Another amazing episode accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack

It’s incredible how much this channel has improved since it started. You started with good animations and content and are now producing masterpieces. Great stuff

This is one of my favorite poems. Memorized it as a kid

a higher quality level. great work

Not gonna lie I thought the video was for battle of Doiran because of Sabaton. That's an idea for the next vid :)

That trumpet at the end was eerie.... ~ the last order heard by someone.....

I had never heard the complete version of that charge , upon which that very famous poem was written . I found the quality of the animation very good , not only in its figures , but in the story within a story that they told

Amazing video yet again by Yarnhub! You guys never fail to impress me!

By far my favorite channel as of late! Consistent posts and educational as all hell, and the animation is better than some stuff of netflix making millions! Great work Yarnhub team for all you do for history and for your subscribers! We love you all! ❤️

The rocks texture and horse are improved and the animation is smooth thank you yarnhub team for making quality content even its only a week i hope u take care and don't be pressured to much

You guys blow my mind with the animation, these guys are legends along with Yarnhub. This honestly gave me goosebumps good work!

500K!!! Can’t wait until you guys hit a million subs!!

Man these animated sponsors are very convincing

Such a great video. Amazing moment in history preserved here. Really good retelling of it.

Love hearing land of hope and glory in the background

half a million subscribers! Keep up the great stuff! Love the video

Established titles is a scam company ran out of Hong Kong and isn't even recognized by Scotland, don't fall for the scam

I really love the animations in these videos. They add so much to the story telling.

The detail at the end with the trumpeter was perfect ¡¡¡ thanks

As for the ad, you can literally call yourself anything, a lord, lady, captain, or whatever you want. You don't need a piece a paper that gives you the 'right'. And just because you own a piece of land, the government won't recognize your SELF-PROCLAIM title, otherwise all house owners in UK would-be lords and ladies. And FYI, when you buy something in EstablishedTitles, you don't even legally own the land just the piece of paper that they send to you saying that you are a lord/lady

Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. “Forward, the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns!” he said. Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. “Forward, the Light Brigade!” Was there a man dismayed? Not though the soldier knew Someone had blundered. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die. Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of hell Rode the six hundred. Flashed all their sabres bare, Flashed as they turned in air Sabring the gunners there, Charging an army, while All the world wondered. Plunged in the battery-smoke Right through the line they broke; Cossack and Russian Reeled from the sabre stroke Shattered and sundered. Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell. They that had fought so well Came through the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred. When can their glory fade? O the wild charge they made! All the world wondered. Honour the charge they made! Honour the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred!

Wow just wow I’ve never heard of this charge and I’m just amazed

with every video the animation quality improves, good job!

"And mine was not to reason why, mine was but to do and die At Crimea with the charging light brigade" -Horse Soldier by Corb Lund

Funnily enough I read this poem today in my English lit GCSE lesson Edit: by poem I mean the poem by Lord Tennyson about the events of this battle: 'The charge of the light brigade'

Your best yet. Powerful work.

Heard about this all my life and never researched it till now . Those were some brave soldiers that day 🙏🇺🇸

это как в игре, когда случайно отдал приказ кавалерии напасть и забыл про них, потом удивляешься "вы что там делаете?" (:

It would really suck to get trampled by your own side. I know from experience that horses typically do their best to avoid trampling over anything, but im sure that's not the case when they are spooked by explosions .

Fantastic story. Thank you

Your animations are awesome

I still reallly want a "Spartacus and the Third Servile War" video From what little is known of his time in Thrace before being enslaved by the Romans, to his time in the ludus learning the gladiatorial arts, to his stand at Mount Vesuvius, to his fall at the hands of Crassus' legions. It's said that he killed 4,000 men himself in his last stand against the armies of Crassus, but his body was buried amongst his own army and given no recognition or honor, because they wanted him to be remembered as nothing more than a common slave.

I like hearing about conflicts I never previously knew of. I hope we get more videos from the 19th and 18th centuries.

Yarnhub works very hard for historical videos every week how do they not have 1 million subs yet?

I recited this poem in the sixth grade. I still remember word for word. It is epic.

Hey Yarnhub can you make a video talking about how these amazing videos are made? Like the brainstorming, the research, and animation?

I was kind of hoping this would be about the new sabaton song

Thank you for continuing to make sure history isn’t lost too time!

Another well done video, exceptional work Yarnhub🎉. I really loved this explanation about the Light Brigade and i loved especially the charge animation. Massive kudos to you.

Ngl, Into the Valley of Death sounds like something from Sabaton

Like how it says in the poem they rode throught the lines and they broke them but at a cost so let's honour them for they fought until they broke with many men that died. "Cannon to right of them Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of hell Rode the six hundred. Flashed all their sabres bare, Flashed as they turned in air Sabring the gunners there, Charging an army, while All the world wondered. Plunged in the battery-smoke Right through the line they broke; Cossack and Russian Reeled from the sabre stroke Shattered and sundered. Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred."

And this... brought me tears to my eyes

Quite simply one of the most enjoyable and excellently produced narratives I’ve seen to date - Very Well Done!!
