The Halo 4:  Spartan Ops  animated teaser was directed by Stuart Aitken and produced by Debbie Ross at Axis Animation alongside directors Bill Elliott, Ben Hibon and producer Caroline Wall at Planet Jump Productions.

This teaser was created for closed-door media showings of the Halo 4: Spartan Ops experience at the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo. This high tempo 2 minute sequence is a 2d pre-vis interpretation of the opening sequence of the first episode in the series. The teaser introduces Fireteam Majestic, as they report for duty upon the largest starship in the UNSC fleet – the UNSC Infinity. The Infinity and its crew engage a Covenant fleet as they exit slipspace and the Spartan Fireteams prepare for deployment to the Forerunner world known as Requiem.
