This part of the video got me really exited. It's 0:40 sec. into the video and it shows an animatronic in lip-sync with what appears to be a motion-capture animation on the computer screen. So it could be that both Serkis and Nyongo's mo-cap characters will actually be animatronics, and not CGI. 
I could be wrong, but I really hope that's the case. Mixing mo-cap and animatronics would definitely be a great way to mix modern digital technology with practical effects.

 

Oh, and here's our mystery alien as he/she'll look in the final film (more or less). I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be Maz Kanata though. It's seems a bit strange that they would reveal such an important character in such a casual manner in this video. So it's probably just another one of her pirate friends.
