BriefExplanation

A live action trailer for the Halo 4 game that focuses on the uplifting commissioning of a new starship, the UNSC Infinity. The trailer follows the ship and the marines aboard. The film juxtaposes the hope and promise of the commissioning with the terror of it being ripped out of the sky by the new threat, Halo 4. The spot was filmed in Bucharest, Romania. The trailer was scored by Neil Davidge, of the band Massive Attack, who also created the music for the Halo 4 game. Everything is completely seamless between the live action work and the gameplay.
