Some may see a bigger link to advertising Pepsi, I see a bigger link to the new Endgame book that came out last month
I'm not familiar with the Endgame book so I really can't comment but I don't think its out of the question. In the end though, its still just marketing. The reason I'm not ruling it out was because my first thought was that it was a new movie or something and it was odd. It reminded me of the Cloverfield trailer. They put out the trailer during one of the Transformers movies...my kids were into it. It was shaky cam footage of a party and then an explosion and the only information they gave you was a date. No movie title or anything. If you Googled the date, you were led to some My Space pages with characters from trailer, YouTube videos, a fake company that made a fake Slusho drink. All that provided the back story to the movie but none of it was mentioned in the movie except for posters and logos in some scenes. You might be able to find some stuff still. So this sounds similar to the book idea.
If you google "black knight decoded clues", it brings you to a twitter page with people talking about clues and "#blackknightdecoded". It looked pretty active but its from November 8th. So we might be late to the party. No idea what any of it means.

I kind of wonder if the short film isn't a stand alone puzzle. One that simply complements the new book release, but not necessarily integrated with it. Guess I need to read the books...or wait for someone else to figure it out.
I think we can safely meet somewhere in the middle on the marketing thing.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's this and it worked pretty good on us conspiracy geeks
Nah, pretty sure it's more than just to usher in new music from Usher...
Not saying it's aliens, but it is a weird advert.
Did you actually read "THIS"? It was a link. A link to this page featuring this video from May 11
This is a new song from Usher, if you listen closely to it, AND start the ad in the OP at around 5:10 simultaneously, you just might hear a similarity.
NWO sinister planning? Well, probably not this time, but!
Collaboration advertising that worked? Yep.
You win the prize!

As you can now see, the trail of confusion has already begun.
Every month, Pepsi “ambassadors” will use social media to issue a new challenge — many of which blend social responsibility with popular culture — that encourages consumers to “do something different.”
Later this month, for instance, the fashion designer Nicola Formichetti will present the first challenge from Hong Kong to bring light to poor communities across the globe using plastic Pepsi bottles filled with water and bleach to refract sunlight. All the challenges will focus on social media in some way, and they could involve technology, music or sports.
Over the summer, the singer Usher will participate in a video that involves footage from space. (No, PepsiCo executives said, they are not sending Usher into orbit.) James Rodríguez, the soccer star; Ms. Williams, the tennis champion; and Mr. Bolt, the Olympic sprinter, will also present challenges, presumably of the athletic variety. Pepsi has also signed on Jerome Jarre, a name that people over the age of 30 may not recognize but who is a bona fide star on the social networks Vine and Snapchat.
One challenge Pepsi plans to introduce in several countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Lebanon, will ask consumers to record the sounds around them — the shouts of fruit vendors or clangs of construction, for instance — and upload them to the Pepsi Challenge website or through a mobile app developed specifically for the region. A celebrity producer will use them to create a compilation of various sounds. “At the end of the day, people connect with things that are really personal to them,” Ms. Hassan said.
Every time consumers use the hashtag #PepsiChallenge on their social media profiles, Pepsi will donate $1 to the Liter of Light organization, which has provided sustainable lighting to more than 18 countries, including Kenya and Colombia.
