CGI is Computer Graphics Imaginary...I looked it up because I also wanted to know. Anyway, he's saying it wasn't done by hand and to be honest, I believe him.

And another thing, how would you weigh a tyre to make it roll UP hill, it defys ALL laws of physics, even Newton.

What does CGI mean?

The tires were weighted using bolts so that they would roll uphill...

It was about 30 minutes, and full of slightly dodgy camera cuts if I remember correctly.

But was it all properly done with no trickery?

Although one bit (the exhaust pipe rolling round) is sort of a cheat - they had to cut it in half to make it work, so it's not all natural car parts.

It is great but it's a rip off.
There was a piece of video art in the late 80's that did it much better, and the whole sequence lasted 20 minutes - it was totally amazing.
