This video tells the backstory of two pivitol characters in the life of John H. Reagan High School, Don Alaniz and Mike Webster. This story alludes to a back room deal that was made to save the destitute Webster prior to his mercurial and previously unexplained rise to HISD's upper echelons.... Is this story based on fact, or is it complete fiction?.... You decide. I want to thank Mike Webster, Armando Alaniz, Drew Thurman, Taylor Johnson and Rocky Whitworth for helping me make this homage to the iconic opening scene of the Godfather. Also Laura Alaniz for allowing us to destroy her beautiful home and rearrange furniture on one lovely October afternoon, and lastly I want to thank Samantha Alaniz for being the personal assistant and coach for her Dogfather. There were several alterior motives I had for making this shot by shot recreation. I wanted to get experience using our fantastic new C100 camera in a low light setting. I wanted to have an example of an activity I am planning for my AV production classes. Finally I wanted to have my former boss the wonderful Armando Alaniz play the heavy in one of my films.
