You're still rendering every frame. Do you think the rendered character is just copy-pasted while camera, lighting etc. still change at 24fps?

    I did a quick look at Kpop and advanced frames in VLC. It looks like every other frame is a duplicate for just the main characters, but the backgrounds or other things will still move on every frame. I didn't realize there were some things that moved with every frame.

    Looking at it a bit more, I can't see any reflections or lighting effects updated on the characters on the duplicate frame even when there are changes elsewhere. So maybe they did find some ways to save money. The duplicate frame on the main characters doesn't seem to be applied everywhere but I'm not sure why it is in some places but not others.

    Yes, that's how the Spiderverse animation style works. The characters are drawn at half framerate, but not everything else.

    I haven't seen Kpop, but I've read that whether they're animated at half or full frames is a story-based choice due to some stuff with the demons. But still - it's just weird to assume it's about saving money.
