Totem Pole - Important Note (Vertical Order)

I just fount out that Vertical order of images is widely believed to be a significant representation of importance. This idea is so pervasive that it has entered into common parlance with the phrase "low man on the totem pole." This phrase is indicative of the most common belief of ordering importance, that the higher figures on the pole are more important or prestigious. This is very obvious when i thought about it! In the illustration the god that is trying to take away the character holds the most power therefore he is the largest and at the very top of the pole! So within the animation we need to portray the power and importance of the 'god' so we could show this by the size of the actual representation or the order of when it may appear or maybe the length of time it is shown through out the animation ... or the timing of the animation it could basically follow the order of importance as if we were looking at the totem pole from top to bottom!
