"Each five second sequence of Davy Jones took two to three weeks to complete."

Yeah, and imagine how many people they had working on it for those 2-3 weeks...

I would love to have that kind of time for one shot, I usualy have 2-3 weeks for 15 shots :P

It's probably much more than 2-3 weeks per shot if you factor in any/all of the R&D, Modeling, Shader design, tests, etc that were done prior to doing each "shot".

Yeah - I think the best breakdown I've seen about this type of stuff is on the Star Wars Ep. III features DVD:

910 people took 70,441 hours to produce 1185 frames (49 seconds)

Do you remeber what shot was this for? Opening sequence?

[dapeter]

For 49 seconds of the Mustafar lightsaber dual between Obi-wan and Anakin.
