They loved it! They really, really loved it!
Spectrum Idol drew a phenomenal response from the crowd. There were points where the video audio was drowned out by continued laughter from the previous scene, which was great. My perception of the film had been numbed after working on the project for so long, but I was ecstatic to see how the audience was taken by the film, and how they participated (cheering/applause) at all the right moments. A few jokes didn't quite fly, and we were surprised at how some jokes absolutely soared. But to be honest, the best part was after the lights came back on, and everyone crowded our table to shake our hands and congratulate us on a superb job. THAT was rewarding.
