A lot of the more mundane stuff is already "outsourced" or given to VFX houses' offices in other parts of the world like India. e.g. SPI send all their Roto to India, they've just moved all their comping and lighting to Vancouver, it's mainly just R&D that's in Culver City now. That's probably going to happen more and more now - instead of having dedicated Roto departments, it'll be outsourced as a way to cut costs.
