Shoot 30fps (29.97 not 24 or 30p). Use lots of ceiling mounted or high angle, diffused light on all sides (flat lighting), keep a wide depth of field so everything's in focus.
Make a very colorful set, but desaturate it a bit in post. Get a good hair stylist to do really bad hair, a turtle neck sweater might help!
Actually finding an old tube camera would really do it!
