Human Factors
On helicopter air to air; I announced while departing from field. Shortly after clearing the end of the runway I noticed a shadow cross the shadow of my aircraft. I was able to see [another] helicopter that had just crossed my path at a near 90 degree angle directly above me. I attempted contact again; and then on my monitored the frequency for the nearby airport without any contact. I am not sure of the vertical separation at the moment we were directly above & below each other. The attached link to go pro video does not accurately show how close we were; as the camera was blocked by the window frame as it is mounted approximately where NVG (Night Vision Goggle) would mount 3-4' above the pilot eye level.
Helicopter pilot reported a NMAC during departure with another helicopter.
