Seems like camera guys like that but regular viewers don't care for it. I LIKE being able to see vibrant, live looking colors on every screen I view it on. "Artsy" washed out, flat, low contrast footage, just looks washed out and dull.
What are you viewing your footage on? I know a lot of people have their TVs on over-saturated ,so maybe the *flat look* then looks okay?
Certainly the link the OP posted, blacks are really black. Not scientific statement I know. I'm guessing see this on a TV, would lose some of its effect as black is not black but dark grey.
