like side strafing around it? Here is what I would do, there may be a better way:
[on first frame]
-set camera to point at object

[every frame after]
-rotate camera 90 degree right
-move camera forward
-rotate camera 90 degree left
-set camera to point at object

and that should look reasonably smooth.

This was written for an object, but I'm sure simple modification will make it work for a camera.



Cheers.
