Powerout is a short machinima movie that was created by the Unreal Movie Team in November 1998. The story revolves around the crew of a spaceship, when the power suddenly dies, and they have to discover what it is.

For its time, as one of the very first Unreal movies, Powerout was very impressive. It took eVOLVE a week to create, from writing the script, to having a finished product.

Powerout actually took about a week to make, bearing in mind that I had to create all of the maps too. The voice actors took longer than that, I seem to remember. I think that was evident from the quality of outtakes that were present in the end credits of the movie.
