Here is a minimalistic version of it:
   _

  ) (
 (   )
  \_/


And here's a complete formation:

   _     _     _     _     _ 
  | | _ | | _ | | _ | | _ | |
  )  | | _ | | _ | | _ | |  (

  \_(   )  | | _ | |  (   )_/
     \_(   )  | |  (   )_/
        \_(   ) (   )_/
           \_(   )_/
              \_/


                __
               (  )
                ~~

Can such a thing be animated?  And is there a volunteer?
