Competitive advantage takes weird forms.

Over here in Japan the streaming platforms have fueled a massive boom in anime production. Established studios are full up on productions and work is slowly getting out sourced to related fields.

By my count the biggest competition is coming to game's on 3d modeling side. Modeling used to be split market wise but as games have gotten higher poly, and movies/rendering has moved to realtime rendering, the two markets are competing more for the same human resources.

Supply and demand. Pay 2x or 3x or... and you will get people you need.

That might work for some roles (you can bring anyone from within the EU with little to no paperwork) but there will be a limited number of people who speak Danish and are familiar with or have contacts in the country.

Cost of living is already very high here, so it is presumably already more expensive than filming almost anywhere else in Europe. 2–3× may go beyond a reasonable budget.

Also quite expensive, since the Danish government provides a lacklustre funding for filming, according to Danish film makers. Even Danish productions often goes to places like the Czech Republic to film, because financial advantages are much better there.

Good cause the industry is treating 3D artists very badly, and I'm hoping competition will force them to become decent.
