  transition: 0.5s;
  transform-style: preserve-3d;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin-right: 15px;
  margin-top: 45px;
}
.container:hover .box {
  transform: rotateY(25deg);
}
.container .box .imgBx {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}
.container .box .imgBx:before {

  box-sizing: border-box;
}
.container .box .content h2 {
  color: #fff;
  transition: 0.5s;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  margin-bottom: 5px;
  font-size: 20px;
  transform: translateY(200px);
  transition-delay: 0.3s;

  z-index: 1;
  box-shadow: 0 25px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}
.container .box:hover .imgBx:before {
  opacity: 1;
}
.container .box:hover .content h2 {
  transform: translateY(0px);
}
.container .box:hover .content p {
  transform: translateY(0px);
}
