Uh, its actually the opposite. Its hard to find good DP's experienced with digital because nobody shoots digital, they all use film, nobody wants to touch digital because it looks like fucking shit.
But you are probably right about models though--you can still find plenty of modelmakers, just not at ILM, I mean Episode I had more practical models than all of the OT combined, and many FX houses still have a small model unit or have people available to do modelwork. If you want modelwork done, its not hard to find people. Glass matte painting, on the other hand, thats a dead art, you'd have to get people out of retirement or bring them back from wherever they went when the whole method imploded in the later 90's--they are still around though, its only the older guys (back then) that are done for good. Anyway, if Spielberg wanted to make the movie this way he easily could have.
