2d Skeleton animation

I read in the latest update that there going to be using a 2D Skelton animation for our world now.
I found [url=http://youtu.be/qt1c17WlxJ8]one[/url] recent video that gives me a picture into what's to come
Does anyone have more recent footage of the 2D skeletal system so I can get a better idea? I'm sure they wont be using the same program. Probably something more expensive and vibrant.

[quote=09080706l]Skeletal animation takes components of an object and manipulates it using algorithms to generate movement. Executing algorithms is more efficient and faster than displaying sprites frame-by-frame. We'll most likely see the developed monsters to be more "rubbery" due to the nature of this animation technique (unless it's done extremely well, of course).

This is all the MapleStory developers have released so far regarding the "skeletal" demo:

I really like where this is head. Knowing how much money they put in to this game it should come out really polished. We'll probably see a lot less lag during high activity moments in game
