The animated bust plugin is actually by Astfgl, I just made the request for it

Link to that
here. It handles all sorts of animations, so you can make a sort of looping .gif with it to replace an actual video depending on what you're looking for.
SumRndmDde hinted at making an updated 'animated faces' plugin, but there's no release for that yet.
If you were after the kind of animations that are demonstrated in VN Maker, Kino actually made a
Live2D plugin (although I haven't figured how to get it to work.) An alternative to that is to use
Dragonbones. It was made more for animated battlers, but can be used for portraits as tested in my IGMC entry
Lost Boy. If you want to know more about that front, send me a message.
Dr. Yami's video player lets you use other commands whilst videos are running. It mentions show text as an example, so it should hopefully do choices too.
