The Spline Macro File (http://www.geocities.com/ccolefax/spline) allows you
to simply define a list of keypoints.  You can then quickly preview (from a
fixed camera point) the path the spline takes through the scene, and easily
shift or add points to adjust the path the way you want.  An automatic
animation function is included that will fly the camera along the path -
rendering at low resolution and reduced quality settings should allow you to
preview and adjust the motion path reasonably quickly (if not in realtime).
