Yes...the CGI ref was to a fake Lyta head...and there wasn't
one. The streams aren't technically considered CGI as we use it.
That's roto work.

No, the streams were done on a flint, and there were not two
takes edited together, there was just the one continuous take.

In the past, we've tried to keep them canon in the broad
strokes, though in the details things fall out. The new batch, though,
are being kept much closer to continuity....

CGI is specifically graphics generated on a computer, usually
2d or 3d animation. Roto work like the streams from Lyta's eyes are
done by hand, frame by frame.
