Hey everyone!
This is my newest cover song with my friends.

Jim Ramses my good friend and bassist invited me to sing Helloween's classic ''Eagle Fly Free'' on his newest video! Which was a lot of fun to do!
Thank you for watching!


Mixed and Mastered at Haunting Studios by Nikos Palivos

Vocals recorded @ManoSoundStudios Video by John Manopoulos

You've got a great voice! And the heavy chops surrounding it are killer!

I couldn't help but notice your video had copious areas of black background all the time, and I thought maybe a fertile field for chromakeying other visuals supportive of the song's concepts. ?

Heavy ain't my go to for a listen, and I still found that well sung, well mixed, well done!

cheers,

-Tom

Hey Tom, thank you for watching and commenting! much appreciated. 
As for the video, I can't tell much about the process, because I only sang on this one. ?

Nice work :) We've covered a few Helloween songs over the years and I can definitely say that it's not an easy thing to do - Kiske was insane back in his prime (still great now), and Ingo's drumming was nuts.

Thank you Lord Tim! And yes, I think Kiske still sounds very good! ?

By the way Tom. I kinda misunderstood your question before, and I think I didn't give you a proper answer. I apologise. 

Yes , the black background helps for sure to add certain elements. Specially effects like lights, smoke, fire and such stuff if I wanted to. But not as good as green screen for sure. But I stopped with green screens because green screen can be a pain to work with when it comes to long hair haha

VFX guy here as one of my other day jobs, and I feel your pain :/  Light coloured hair in front of a green screen is pretty bad, but you know what's worse? Cymbals and drum hardware.  I have PTSD from one of our clips where I had to roto out all of the drums to stop them from disappearing into the matte. ?☠️

haha yeah ! Cymbals! because the green reflects on them. Nightmare indeed! Blue is a bit better though for light hair. 
And which program do you use for green screen?

After Effects is what I usually use, but I've been investigating Nuke a bit lately to see if that suits my workflow.

And you're right, blue is much better for light hair but sometimes you're stuck with the studio or screen you're given and you need to wrangle the chroma levels a bit to make it work. Still better than rotoscoping though ?

Never was a big fan of Helloween, but that rocked!! Great solo by the bassist! Drummer was really good too.

Your vocals were great. I like that type of singing and you were nailing it!!

An enjoyable watch.

thank you so much Grem!
