More background on what ship is in the main view, and what ship the pegasus was. kthx
and for like a TV Commercial, you're gonna want to catch attention. Sorry to say, but most people are attracted to loud noises and big booms, not a plot. A 14 vs 14 vs 14 battle on the MV for tripwik that had 20 seconds of it recorded and get all edited and awesomized would look good on tv 
Especially if Im in it

archer missles lmao lol that was funny i thought it sounded out of place lol sounds good though. things to fix(i think):some scouts should die, captian should ask for salvagables, archer missles/IT(giggles) should hit and damage side of ship, better things yet to come

Truly hope this teaser-teaser isn't the final quality like you say....i mean it's ok if you know what DS is about, you can figure out what's going on. But someone new won't understand what's happening, all you see is one small ship and some lighting effects, lines and squares, a few planets.
The big problem is, it's TOO FRIGGIN DARK! Make a map with several(!) suns to add a little light on the matter at hand

Using the name "Archer" for missiles is older than Halo and fairly common; terms like Archer, Longbow, Ballista, Arrow, etc- popular names for missile craft and their weaponry.
Although, reading the script, I'm reminded of the bit from the Wing Commander flick where Blair and Devereaux are sent out to investigate the Pegasus colony ship thing... after the navcom and all.
Also, I'm not sure if you intentionally left them to display the nature of the game, but the HUD controls can be disabled with 1, 3, 7, and maybe 9 on the numpad; press / twice to turn off the armor arc display, and then hit alt-c (with nothing targetted) to disable the target diamonds.
Also also, I'm not sure if this works these days, but you can get better, closer camera shots and sweeps by ctrl-clicking a location and hitting C to move the camera there. If that doesn't work anymore, just drop an item or fire a bomb, target it, and hit C to move the camera to it- then zoom out until your ship is "zoomed in".

Did you tell them that you were making a teaser. you could tel them wat to do and make it look like the script. are you a mod? ask them they could help you, i think.

... If no one has replied yet, the EDIT button would work perfect.
and to get on topic.
"Crtl + C" disables target indicators. close all surrounding information screens and it looks just as nice as observer mode. but stil allowes you to have some decent camera and other controles.
