I started doing them this year, I was surprised to find it wasn't as difficult as I first thought. More time consuming than anything. I just use the Navigator and click the send to animation button when I move around and zoom in or out, you can then watch a small animation in the animation editor when you're ready, before committing to a complete fully rendered job.

I followed the tutorials for Don Whittaker on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL67453435CBFEDB49
He makes things pretty easy to understand!
