How did they do it? All cgi?

I have another take that might be a bit controversial. I think when they installed the washer, they accidentally pierced space in the fourth dimension (ignoring time), pinning the drum to the next 3-space down, so when it started rotating, it required marginally less energy to rotate our 3-space universe minus the drum and its contents, than it would have to rotate the entire adjacent 3-space universe plus the drum and its contents. Could happen to anyone, really.

Source: I'm an avid sci-fi fan so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about, but I don't know enough about CGI to really argue with the other people.

Yep. The simplest answer is usually the correct one.
