@ambulocetus I've been working on it between classes, I'll let you know when I've got something coherent!

So far: Noticed braille flash on the screen, went frame by frame to transcribe it, but need to translate it (hard to tell if letters or numbers were intended, trial and error), also need to transcribe the number/letter code towards the end of the video.

Update for the code, in the process of solving: 

@ambulocetus So what I can tell so far - again, primarily working on the braille at this time - is that it seems to link to a URL. There's two slashes and a .co, and the second line of braille is a file extension. Braille made this kind of tricky because, again, it can be hard to distinguish from symbols alone whether something stands for a letter or a number, but braille has an answer to this: There are symbols that indicate whether the following symbol is a letter or a number.

It *seems* like the person who wrote this tried to use those, especially in the last line - I'll attach my chickenscratch MS Paint just for the hell of it - but it comes down to a matter of "can I trust that this person actually has a full understanding of Braille as a language" - and being that they flashed braille letters (used for blind/partially sighted people) one letter per frame, that kind of indicates "maybe not?"

So I did some trial and error, came up with this url: i.ibb.co/ypr7Wp4/BushMsg.jpg so it actually leads somewhere, and that's nice. The colors are slightly eye searing so I'm having trouble looking at it long enough to parse it, but hey, image get.

Now, the numbers and letters at the end seem to be encrypted via Enigma Machine, maybe? I've tried to decode it other ways but no dice. Problem is that I don't yet know what settings need to be on the enigma machine for it to decode the right way. Have to imagine those settings can be learned from the bush image.
