The Animated Bayeux Tapestry

- The Animated Bayeux Tapestry was created as a student project while at Goldsmiths College. Just as the historic original embroidary does, the animation depicts the lead up to to the Norman Invasion of Britain in 1066. Starts about halfway through the original work at the appearence of Halley's Comet and concludes at the Battle of Hastings. Marc Sylvan redid the soundtrack to include orignal music and sound effects.

Wow. Ive looked for endless hours at the Tapestry, imagining the battle in real time, with real scenes. That was INTENSE! That really did make things seem so much brutal and almost lifelike. Probably the closest thing we can get, other than our own imaginations...
Oh I also like how you chopped the head off of that solider considering it is one of the debated scenes.
one of the debated scenes??
manuelkong10
Some "experts" think he was running him through and that the images are separate. Some think the sword was actually at his side doing nothing...
Also, some experts think the arrow to the eye was added later but if you line up the arrow from the figure in the border, it actually lines up exactly with the arrow in the kings eye. So if the figure in the border was original, more than likely so was the arrow but if the figure was added later, then more than likely, so was the arrow to the eye (lol)
There are all kinds of debates in regards to the tapestry. It also has an entire first "half" not animated here. if you didnt know
Said the obvious sock puppet account.
Come back when you’re old and retired and have seen the real one. This is fun!

He gave shit ton of interesting things that he knew yet you still doubt..
This truely helped me understanding my history lesson,
and moreover really interested me! Congratulations for this amazing work, whoever made it did a wonderful job.
We have to act out a part of it I hate my socials teacher so much
Haha faxs
Hello Georgia, I am your social studies teacher.
jk, im not lol

My History teacher showed my class this and we all thought it was great, thank you!
Emma Siegfried: fine, heroic name you have!
@@zoetropo1 Fine Emperor name you have!
I was so busy looking at the comments I forgot to actually watch the video that my teacher had me watch.
Omg y is this me rn thx for the reminder
😂 Np 😂
As a C12th reenactor as well as a history teacher- this is awesome. Thank you for sharing it.
Laura FitzEdward I prefer C11, but C12 had its moments.
Is it just me but I am here as I was assigned to watch this for homework and create a whole fact file in history
Very cool! I would love to see this done with Trajan's Column.
That would be really cool.
That's a great idea.
Hats off to David Nelson for his excellent animation! Bravo also to Marc Sylvan on the music and sound!
I could watch this all day. So fascinating.
I'm a history teacher and I use this in class. It's a wonderful resource. Thanks to those who made this possible, outstanding work!
gosh I remember making a tapestry of this when I was 11 at La Sagesse!! Our nun, Sr.Brigid was into some serious stuff!♥ God Bless her!
Why are these comments so accurate 😂😂😂😂😂
Professor told the class to watch this and said there would be heads flying. Did not disappoint... XD
Great job!! I love the way you did that. Makes understanding the pictures on the tapestry much easier.
My university history professor showed us this in one of our lectures. It really brings the story to life!
Awesome use of ancient story telling combined with contemporary video techniques. I've never seen anything quite like this. Thanks
Me comes to do homework: also me: (stares at comments and doesn’t watch the vid)
I'm truly impressed at the work it must have required to put this project together. Thank you for bringing this to life so vividly, and congratulations on doing such an excellent job!
It was much more work to embroider it 🤣
This video=extremely helpful! Thanks for taking the time to put it together!
I'm here for the pure pleasure of history.
I’m at school right now watching this on ft with my whole class
same
I'm going to see the Tapestry in person in a few months. Thanks for making this. It will make my visit all the more interesting.
Wow! Amazing and beautiful...as I am sure you have been told over the last ten years! Thank you for sharing it here!
Nice touch of mal de mer while crossing the Channel.
This is so fantastic how you animated the tapestry! I just loved it! I have a book on the tapestry and they call it "the World's oldest cartoon strip"!
This is great! Thanks so much for making this!
This was awesome! The Bayeux Tapestry was already pretty interesting, but this made it that much better!
fantastic ! helped me really get into the tapestry and the battle !
Awesome animation, now I am ready for my exam in social studies
Really brings the already intriguing piece to life. Brilliant work.
Fantastic animation and the tapestry now makes sense!
Alan Rufus occurs at least twice in the Bayeux Tapestry: subtly, because that's how he was. Firstly, he's the red fox looking at Edward the Confessor's funeral procession. (Alan's name means The Red Fox in colloquial Breton.)
Secondly, he's leading the cavalry with white shields in the scene where Earls Leofwine and Gyrth cop it. The previous scene is vital, but was not stitched, because of Norman PC reasons: William was face-down in the mud with Gyrth about to sever his head.
PS: I've since looked more closely: Alan appears in many scenes: as William's messenger, captain of the guard in William's palace, as the "pointing man" when Harold swears his oath, again during William's meal in England, and elsewhere.
Finally someone who actually chose to watch it
Such talent and patience - mind blowing - thank you.
Fifty-four grumpy Saxons still cannot get over the defeat.
Amazed, fascinated and feeling enormous respect. Great educational tool. Thanks
That was awesome when you make our history lessons it would never be boring :D
My kiddos are learning about this battle. They are in 1st and 3rd grade (we homeschool) and they really thought this was cool. They freaked out a little when they started seeing the blood. haha! Great resource!! Thank you!
Cleverly made and a great way to learn the story of the tapestry. Loved it!
That was immense fun to watch and it helped to bring home the savagery of battles of this period.
now that I know about the history I am looking forward to admire the details of the embroidery at the museum!
That barely scratched the history and didn't even show half the tapestry. I was disappointed. There are plenty of sites that really do explain the BT, but this isn't one of them.
Lily Esmiol Minas: Best take this in conjunction with them, like a Trailer for a movie.
Our history teacher showed this to us in class, and I loved it so much... Here I am watching it again!
Anyone else?
Just had the pleasure of watching this during my Art History course today. Well done!
C’est Magnifique , vraiment extraordinaire ! Ça c’est du vraie art !! Cette vidéo mérite d’atteindre les un millions !
Outstanding! Love the animations as well as the thrilling music and sound effects. Perfection!
Out standing. This made explaining what this tapestry really was, and what it's real meaning was intended to do. She had a hard time with the concept until she saw this video. LOL, she suggested it was like ancient television. I figure she got the point. Again Thank you.
Incredible! I love this part of history thank you so much for making this and sharing!
Excellent. Certainly brings it to life and will remember this when I visit Bayeux next year!
Incredible! Well done!
Yes. I do cross stitch and needlepoint .
Such patience the stitcher has .

Reasons why William the Conqueror Won.
1. William's army had time to rest before the battle. Harold Godwinson's army was tired and they did not have time to prepare properly for the battle. The English army had already fought the Battle of Stamford Bridge that day and had to march quickly down to the battlefield outside Hastings. They marched 50 miles a day!
thank you, you just did my homework.
Amazing! Thank you so much Goldsmiths.
Excellent animation, and great sound effects, thank you
Caught a glimpse of the Bayeux Tapestry in "The Monument Men" at the cinema last weekend. I hadn't realized the code breakers at Bletchley Park (another good movie) were instrumental in discovering what Himmler and the SS were up to with this priceless piece. Quite an interesting history for this remarkable needlework so far in its existence. Great job on this breathing life into this piece too.
The Monuments Men is only scenario for cinema, not a real historic account.
In the end of the film they find the Mona Lisa, that was ridiculous :)
@@BruneSixtine Yes, dramatized for sure. Is there some question whether the Mona Lisa was recovered from Altaussee salt mine? I thought that had been confirmed. But what an undertaking either way!
@@kindafoggy It was hidden by the French as soon as the invasion started. The Louvre museum evacuation is an epic event. You can read more on Wikipedia I guess.
The Mona Lisa has been hidden in the Château de Chambord, as well as many other works of art. Funnily the castle design is attributed to Da Vinci too.
The nazis never found it. Nobody snitched.
The Monuments Men film was extemely cringy, but there are so many other cringy Holywood films... a few exemples :
In Dunkirk the French disappeared from northern France.
In U-571 the Americans decrypt the enigma code instead of the British.
In The Last Samurai, an American replace the Frenchman Jules Brunet.
In Pocahontas, the Spaniard is replaced by an American.
Etc...
@@BruneSixtine Interesting. Yes, I'll check wikipedia. Thanks for the information. Film trivia is entertaining especially when you know the backstory and see how much license the writers and directors took with the storyline. Thanks for taking the time.
it was more then 950 years ago that the Battle of Hasting took place on October 14 1066
george kenney Erm I think we all know that
1064 - 1066
THE BAYEUX TAPESTRY
Was the Bayeux Tapestry an early attempt to describe an historical event in cinematic fashion? Was it our first true epic told in embroidered linen and wool instead of celluloid? Or was the Tapestry simply art mirroring life by those who lived it, just like a painting or a sculpture? Was Bishop Odo the first director of a classic tale of a conquering king, and a battle of two nations?
The Tapestry could also be the world's first Panorama. At 70 metres (230 feet) long one might think so. Let's take a look at what the Bayeux Tapestry is and what it does. First of all, the Tapestry tells the story of William The Conqueror and his successful invasion of England, his battle at Hastings in 1066 and the death of King Harold II who may or may not have promised England to William in an earlier visit to Normandy. It has a beginning and an end, as well as other players and other plots to the main scenario. It identifies several locations and depicts many animals (202 horses, over 50 dogs, over 500 more creatures), 623 extras, over 40 ships and was created in color (eight separate shades of wool and yarn were used). It also has a hero and many other main characters in supporting roles.
And what about the linearity of the Tapestry? Like a 70mm strip of linen technicolor it unfolds frame by frame into a masterfully woven story of betrayal, war and victory. Is it then, any different than Ben Hur or Lawrence of Arabia? Or is it more like the early paintings we find at Altamira or Grotte de Lascaux? Perhaps the Tapestry lies somewhere in the middle.
The Bayeux Tapestry tells the story of William of Normandy's invasion of England and of it's King Harold, and the Battle of Hastings in 1066 as well as the events immediately following. It begins with Harold and Edward the Confessor and ends with Harold and William. The Tapestry is a journey, just as a film is a journey, with players, backgrounds, action, love, hate, desire and above all, a blockbuster ending. It is also, as most historians agree, incomplete.
The Tapestry most likely had another section which has been lost in time. The section that is believed to be missing could have contained the glorious ending of William The Conqueror's coronation, December 25th, 1066. But like so many early moving pictures of the late 19th century, these frames also, have been lost.
The true Bayeux Tapestry is kept in Bayeux, Normandy and was given the description in 1476 of "a very long and narrow hanging on which are embroidered figures and inscriptions comprising a representation of the conquest of England".
It is believed that in 1070 the half-brother of William of England, Bishop Odo, may have been the one to order the embroidery to be made. The Tapestry was likely embroidered in Kent, England.
We know that the Bayeux Tapestry is not a film in the true sense of the word. However, as mankind has always attempted to tell a story through pictures, this very Tapestry of the 11th century is as fine an example as one can find of an attempt to imitate movement through the use of images in a free-flowing pictoral. It demands that we "see" motion, that we "see" the horses running, "hear" the hooves galloping, that we "see" and "hear" the swords swirling in the air, and "see" and "hear" the waves lapping against the hulls of the ships as they sail across the English Channel.

Absolutely fantastic ! I'm really going to enjoy this with my pupils before we go to Bayeux see it for real ! Thank you for the great job !
Excellent ! No sea sick pills back then :-) No other future animation of an historical tapestry or something like it in the future ?
Really impressive! I have always wondered what might have been on the end of the tapestry that was torn off (showing whatever happened after Harold’s death). And did anyone else hear some guy throwing up as the Norman ships were crossing the Channel?
I saw a recreation of the ending that depicted William's coronation. Pretty cool
Wow again. I have always been fascinated with the tapestry from my youth looking into the comet. I can close mine eyes and see my old copy of the National Geographic edition of the Norman conquest.
I now feel compelled to point out that I did Not come here because of a school homework assignment. (School is, in fact, a distant and rapidly diminishing memory.) I just Googled the bayeux tapestry, and happened upon this. It's cool. Well done.

i have to do my own real life bayuex tapestry thanks a bunch !!!
That was amazing. Who knew a tapestry from 1000 years ago could bring so much information and interest to the modern day
Thank you for creating this. It is a wonderful teaching tool I use in my classroom.
Great job!! Fantastic animation!!! I would say , about my norman ancestor:" Y voulès!!! Pò surprenant tchi ayent gagnés!!! Seye Éternèle Ô Nourmandie!!!"
3:56 King Harold 😭
R.i.p the greatest
@@crunchykevlar honestly rip.
This is a great video and teaching aide. It really brings the tapestry to life!
Love it! Was going over this time in history to prepare my daughter for her test. She'll really remember the Norman conquest now!
"I used to be King of England. But then I took an arrow in the head." :D

Awesome job. That takes some serious talent.
This is amazing! So well done!
Game of Thrones. Original version.
I’m here because I watched this at school
What a great idea ! It's VERY well made, and rather fascinating. Congratulations (from Normandy) !!
The serene boat sailing was nice with the shadows of the boats, and then later some battle action too, very cleverly done...!
My history teacher showed us this.
Your teacher has good taste in needleart .
hi who else is doing homework from class 2. F? lol
That tapestry has certainly been worked carefully in England by proficient hands and by
talented persons, and this footage is Brilliant, and be part of our shared history.
This tapestry is yours and ours !
Very good! Thanks for creating this!!
Finally a fun way to learn History :D

Excellent job! I'm going to share this with my history class! Thanks!!
Amazing! Makes it a lot easier to study that way, understanding history, not learning it by heart
where is the part ? HIC FRANCI PUGNANT, ET FUGA VERTERUNT ANGLI .. here, the French fought and the English fleed
William was Destined to be King of England: even if the Normans were defeated at Hastings, he would still win the war in the end, because of castles.
His strategy of building a castle before(and after) battles meant that no matter how many times they were defeated they always had a rallying point.. While the English who didn't build castles were done for once they're defeated in a battle because there was nowhere for them to rally on, no strong place to take refuge in from the pursuing enemies.
You are probably right. A similar method was later used to conquer Wales.
Also his army was far superior in technology and training to the farmer led fyrd that fought as foot soldiers on the side of Harold.
Techonology didn't matter in ancient warfare, yet you are right about training. He have an army of both knights and mercenaries against the levies of the english. This meant usually they would hold the field longer, psychology being the decisive point in ancient warfare.
The core of the English army were the professional, well-armed housecarls. In no sense was the English army led by farmers.
I do agree, yet the english fielded more militia than them, it's worth to be noted. But my main point remain that technology didn't matter in ancient warfare.
I love love love what you've done here. Wonderful.
*Chefs kiss* Masterpiece!
