Most of the work would be in the editing.
Apart from that I'm sure it would be easy to make the footage.

Sound on Sound had a great article about this recently.

Really you need at least one camera on a tripod,
in addition to any close ups.

Then it's possible to pick the good parts of the close up footage,
and cut to the tripod-cam for the rest.
If the tripod cam is good quality it'll will be possible to zoom
& pan the footage from that for added interest

Sound would need to be recorded at the desk, and synced in the editing.
