You are fast doing this! I haven't had time to start learning Blender but I'm happy to see some "floating" bones there. That ability can help with facial animation and "cheater" bones for times when a fully connected skeleton wouldn't work or you aren't rigging a biological style object and need something like a bone grid or such.
I remember that Marcel has a powerful computer and he noted that he lets things render overnight. I wish he would put the HD version of B.O.T. on his youtube channel. (Hopefully he is working on something to post on U3DA now.)
If you render animation frames to individual images you'll use a lot of hard drive space but you can stop and start the animating if needed. Then assemble in a video editor. You could make the animation quicker by making it smaller. That is, make the image or frame size small like 600 pixels by X instead of 1080 by X. Maybe use a reduced color palette, turn off anti-aliasing, etc. You could also render fewer frames per second to cut render time. Since this is for learning and not a finished product you can sacrifice quality to get speed.

Maybe you could use a less time consuming renderer or render method. Compare Blender's native renderer to Cycles. GI renders nearly always take a long time so the native Blender render might be faster. Maybe Cycles can render with old fashioned ray tracing like Lightworks in TS with no GI.
