Possibe jQuery plugin?

Hi!

So I’m not 100% sure if this is the right place to be asking, but I have a few questions in regard to:

1. Displaying a content post grid within a slider on the main index like so: Example 01

2. Using an on-click action to display the post (or a post excerpt) on the right of the content grid, with slider-like transition when grid post is selected, like this: Example 02

Can this be done simply with a few plugins, or jQuery?
I apologize in advance if this has already been discussed or if I am unclear with my question.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
