I do. They'd have to go frame by frame through the entire movie, isolate 
Daniel's eyes, and color them, making adjustments for lighting, 
reflections, shading, dilation, etc. All the while making sure it looks 
natural. For someone highly experienced, each frame would take, oh, 1-3 
minutes. Multiply that by the number of frames in a 2+ hour movie, divide 
by 60, then multiply by the amount the CGI people get paid hourly.
