   I just saw this clip on Twitter, and it kinda blew my mind, because it's a relatively chaotic motion captured perfectly. How do you think they filmed it? Do you think it's a completely CGI shot?

     I'm going to take a guess and say that it's not CGI at all, just tracked very precisely and cropped. Since the rolling die will always have a shape of a circle, you need to track just the circle. Also you can see the background change somewhat as it travels across the surface (this could be of course simulated too). In theory, you would place a top-down camera above a desk, record the entire desk, roll the die, then track it and crop it.
     
     If it is CGI, it's very good.

     What really sells it to me as not CGI is the final slight wobble.

     and if it's CGI, they simulated a tracking shot of a moving dice roll across a surface.

     ^This. Film the entire table with a high res camera, and use software to track and crop only the dice. It's even probably easier to do than a realistic looking CGI.
