        vtkRendererSource* source= vtkRendererSource::New();
            //render is an istance of vtkRenderWindow
            source->SetInput(render);
            source->WholeWindowOn();

       //save as  BMP
       vtkBMPWriter* writer=vtkBMPWriter::New();
            writer->SetInput (source-> GetOutput());
            writer->SetFileName ("yourFileHere.bmp");
            writer->Write();

Make a loop including something like the code above.
If you are under Win you should use DirectAnimation control from DirectX7
SDK.
