  • More than 100,000 music fans gathered in Indio, Calif., in mid-April 2019 for the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. In the lead-up to the event, the Twitter account for the popular music festival posted a video that supposedly showed the Coachella ferris wheel dancing as it rotated: This is not a genuine video of the Coachella ferris wheel but a computer-animated video of it created to promote the annual festival. Filmmaker Ari Fararooy made the video as part of a social media campaign for Coachella. When he shared the video to his Instagram page, he noted that the video was based on drone footage shot by White Owl Aerial and featured CGI (computer-generated imagery) done by John Bashyam. In other words, this ferris wheel rotates just like other ferris wheels. The dancing, wriggling motions are the result of digital editing. The Coachella ferris wheel is one of the largest, transportable ferris wheels in the world. Nauta Brussink, Inc., manufactured it, and it is owned by the amusement park ride company Ray Cammack Shows: While the Le Grande XL Observation Wheel spends most of its April in Indio, Calif., it travels to other major festivals, such as the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, throughout the summer. Here's a video showing what this ferris wheel actually looks like when in motion: (en)
