Lightboxes

As i mentioned before i could have embedded my portfolio videos, or just made each video open in a new window, however i decided against this in order to continue with the clean minimal theme of the site. Instead i used lighboxes so when the screen shot of my worked is clicked on the video opens up in a centred, small window while the rest of the screen goes black.

In order to achieve this i used a lightbox called 'prettyphoto. This was simple to insert with their documentation and you can easily play youtube and vimeo video which was perfect for the nature of the work i wanted to present. Below is a link to what I used: http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/
