Theres more to it than can be said in a forum post, but it is something can be learned in a couple days. If you follow the first half of this series you'll know how to do it:

Basically a simple IK setup for the collapsing part - if you don't need the rest of the 101 stuff just search for IK in maya.

Thank you, Alex, This is the result I have achieved so far:
