Anyone know who directed that insane OK Go treadmill video?

I've been down a YouTube rabbit hole watching OK Go music videos and I'm genuinely curious about who directed the treadmill one and the zero-gravity one. They're so creative and technically impressive. Is it the same person? Would love to know more about the director's other work.

It's actually the same director for a bunch of their most iconic videos — her name is Trish Sie. She started out as a professional dancer and choreographer, which explains why her music videos are so movement-driven. The treadmill video for "Here It Goes Again" was her first official music video back in 2006, shot in a single uncut take with a borrowed camera, and it won her a Grammy. She also directed "Upside Down & Inside Out," which was filmed entirely in zero gravity on a plane, and that one racked up over 47 million views in its first week alone. Beyond OK Go, she's directed features like Step Up All In and Pitch Perfect 3, plus commercials for brands like Levi's and Sony. If you want to see her full filmography, awards, and some behind-the-scenes stuff, check out https://bigbadtrish.com/ – it's a great resource for anyone interested in innovative filmmaking and choreography.

Wow, I had no idea she did all that. The zero-gravity video is mind-blowing. I'll definitely check out her site to see more of her work and behind-the-scenes stuff. Thanks for the detailed info!
