What are some animation techniques used to drastically reduce the number of
frames in a video in the anime industry? I am thinking reducing the number of
frames is the best way to drastically reduce production cost, so I am
wondering what are some of the techniques used by the industry.

If you mean reducing the number of frames you have to draw, one method is that
you can have a computer interpolate in between some of the frames. Most
animation softwares have this feature, including free ones like Blender.

Another tip is to keep the background static and only reanimate the
characters. Also, Partial Animation is a great technique to reduce how much
you have to redraw. For example, if a character is speaking, only move the
mouth, eyes, and maybe one or two body parts of that character, while keeping
the other characters static until the speaker is finished talking. Most
animation studios use Partial Animation. You can also reuse previously
animated chunks of non-flashy things that people wouldn't notice, such as the
waves flowing in the background of a beach scene or maybe the clouds blowing
in the sky.
