The video shows a series of clips of a person dancing and forming semaphore letters. There are 24 clips and the person forms the letters A-L (12 letters). Each letter is formed twice. The clips each have one distinct building in the background and are sorted alphabetically by building name. However, the specific location required for the puzzle is the point at which the dancer is standing.

The two locations at which a specific letter is danced can be identified on a map of campus. Then, a semaphore letter can be drawn on the map by connecting those two points using the Campanile as the center (clued by the flavortext). The camera is always pointing the same direction (north on campus) - this is the "up" direction for orienting the semaphore letters. Reading the letters drawn on the map, using the letter that was danced as the ordering, gives the answer AWKWARD FLAIL.
