We obviously do not know anything about the movie aside from the footage we see in those 10-second segments but it occurred to me that what we saw could've come from a concept trailer/footage.

This would be footage made specifically to pitch a film and is almost always completely placeholder in terms of content.

Some examples of concept trailers off the top of my head are:

1. The leaked Deadpool trailer from 2014 that led to the actual film being made: https://vimeo.com/155331286 (NSFW language I guess)

2. Once again, leaked Godzilla 2012 Comic-Con trailer: https://vimeo.com/146985673

3. The Leviathan (currently unmade space, sci-fi monster movie): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-45NTlgp-o

Although only two of these were turned into an actual feature-length film, they all have pretty elaborate CGI and designs that helps pitch their respective film ideas. There could be a chance that the footage we saw was very much from a concept trailer.

At this time we have very little info as to who is working on the film. No producers, no screenwriter, not even the starring cast. The film itself hasn't even had an official poster released yet. We see a person briefly in the footage but aside from that guy, we have not heard about anybody being cast into specific roles.

Also, given that Resident Evil: Final Chapter JUST got released, I find it hard to believe that the MH film is far along in development as to have fully rendered CG monster battle sequences.

The actual film might begin principal production soon now that Resident Evil is done and over with and the footage we have is from the concept trailer meant to showcase the concept of MH monsters wreaking havoc in a modern day Earth.

NOTE: The VFX company to whom the footage belongs to, https://www.facebook.com/mr.x.inc.vfx, as of January 31st is  "hiring a high-level Character/Creature artist to start immediately." Make of that what you will.
