In June 2015 Panasonic launched the “Neymar Jr. Crazy Skills” project with the intention of using Panasonic technology to support children the world over who “want to be as good at football as Neymar Jr.” Featured in the project were the “crazy skills” of Neymar Jr., who has highly creative moves.

The website also features a 360° observation camera that enables enjoyment of 360° views of real-action footage in slow-motion and ground-level zoom on a smartphone or PC.

As of the end of December 2016, the “Neymar Jr. Crazy Skills” project will finally be concluded. In the special movie that highlights the finest moments of the project, Neymar Jr. and “Neymar Jr.’S Crazy Skills Award” entrants from around the world are featured in footage of those “crazy skills.”
The special movie is a rapid-fire collection of interspersed shots of Neymar Jr. demonstrating a vivid array of “crazy skills” on the pitch with clips of players the world over performing the “crazy skills” at their respective locations of choice.
