Martin Scorsese’s most recent collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” was met with mixed reviews by critics and fans alike. While its quality / value might still be debatable, the fact that it required a lot of work and attention to detail cannot be denied.

The video above is a VFX reel from Brainstorm Digital, the team behind all the VFX work on the film. And I could almost bet good money that you had no idea just how much of it went into it.

Call it invisible CGI or simply call it using technology to make the director’s vision truly come to life on the big screen, but plenty of post-production work went into the movie, with various big scenes being digitally altered.

In other words, the best VFX is where you don’t even expect to be any. If you’re confused, just press play and see how these amazing guys brought Scorsese’s story to life with the help of the computer.
