I was watching a video by Roger Deakins once where he talked about how he doesn't like doing shots that make you notice them. That if it was up to him, you'd never think, "that's a cool shot" since he feels it takes away from the story. I forgot which composer it was but they also talked about the same thing in regards to soundtracks, however, he thought that notice was BS. He felt that you SHOULD notice the music. I feel like the latter approach is something that I enjoy more, which makes me wonder if there are some colorists who take the former approach.
The colorists that I named above seem to make the coloring be as important as the linework. It's flashy, it's in your face and that's why I loved their work so much. Then there's some colorists that while I can see they're very skilled, it's almost like their coloring is supposed to go unnoticed.
It'd love to hear some colorists talk about this, I'd be very interested in hearing their takes.
