Yes, I've done it and blogged about it a while ago.

I used raster a raster brick and then the animate package. For my own
project I made some changes to the animate package functions. ( the
functions currently switch directories under the cover of an API )  I don't
promote my blog on here cause its not the place to do that.

Personally, I would like to see the functions in animation taken out and
worked on a bit to
give a bit more transparency and flexibility to what is done. This is not a
criticism, I just have opinions on how I would do it.

Outputing it as a Movie takes a bit more work and I could not get
imagemagick working on my MAC, but its all doable.
