Videos to play full screen without leaving my site (lightbox)

Site URL: https://www.henry-curtis.co.uk/film

Hello,

I am rebuilding my Film page and want a way to keep my viewers on one page. (click on the thumbnail and it plays the clips without leaving the page)

Like this for example - https://www.boldstudios.ie/film

Ive been looking into making the videos play in the Lightbox. Something that seems so simple but the only way I can find is to buy a plug-in. Is there any other way?

All help would be very welcome!!!

There are some open-source 3rd party javascript plugin where you can implement on your site with no cost, but it require javacscript knowledge

GLightbox | A touchable pure Javascript lightbox (biati-digital.github.io)

Thank you for your reply.

I've just had a look at your link and it looks wonderful but my JS is definitely not up to scratch! 

I have to keep looking!
