I would make the “sticks” out of solids, move their anchor points to the joint positions and add parent-child links to keep things together.
I haven’t actually ried this and there may be a problem I didn’t think about, but this is how I would first approach it if I didn’t have access to a 3d program. -

Be careful abot how high you go though. If this is being burned on a DVD-R and not stamped you can’t go as high since the pits created on DVD-Rs aren’t as accurate.
7000 is pretty safe though I have seen some DVD players choke on 6500. Burning at slower speeds will help with this as will good quality media. -
Are you applying any filters in AE? Many filters still only work in 8bit space.

They have alot of vintage and period stuff, I think you would be able to find something. -
You mentioned that your show was composed of many stills. I have done alot of these pan and scan shows myself and have found that it is absolutely neccesssary to keep the resolution of the stills as low as you can. Generally, anything below 1200 pixels in either direction seems safe. But much more then this and you can start to have various stability issues.
PPro2 seems much better at this then 1.5 but it is still a good rule of thumb to follow. -
HAHA…right after posting this question I was eyeing a beta tape case thinking “that looks like just about the right size….”

I’ll email it to you. I managed to distill the project down to just the background element that I created with the fractal noise effect and PPro2 still reports it will take hours to render. I’ve given it about 20 minutes just to make sure it looked like it would actually take that long. AE renders this in 5-10 min.

Yes, Nucleo is what you want. When it works, it works well, speeding render times on average of 30-40%. But there are a number of plugins, especially those with temporal dependencies, that is, they reference someting in the frames before or after, that will completely nullify any benefits and can even slow down your render.
Still, in these instances its a simple matter to turn off Nucleo. -
Your Mic probably needs to be amplified. I go through my mixer which has a mic pre-amp when I do this.
